Senators-Ducks : The finals

[Hacker]

On a related note, does anyone think that most goalies should just ignore the puck as it caroms around the boards? I noticed Giguere hardly ever tried to play the puck UNLESS he was shooting it away (into the corner or down the ice)...ie., if he was just going to leave it for the d-man, he didn't bother playing it. Thoughts?

I've never been a big fan of coming out to "Tee the puck up" for the D-men. If you are an agile goalie who can handle the puck I'm in favour of you coming our to stop the dump in pass from just across the red line or to pass it up after it has been iced in a powerplay situation, but other than that - STAY IN THE CREASE!!!

couldnt of said it better myself Nat, i thought personally Emery hadnt been tested before this series, they were playing great team hockey and limiting scoring chances.

Not true, the team carried them this far, as soon as the team showed weakness it started exposing Emery's flaws. No doubt the dude has strength, but he also has a LOT to learn as a young goalie. I agree we should stick with him, but we also have to admit that he isn't a stanley cup goalie ... most of his 'spectacular' saves are the result of him being out of position and needed to make something happen...a more seasoned goalie would have had less highlights on his reel, but also less goals against.[/quote]
