Umm, Kiprusoff will win the Vezina this year. And the Jennings. He's been doing it against the entire league, not just the Wings. Further, Giguere won the Conn Smythe in 2003 - he played out of his mind in four series, not just against the Wings. The jury is still out on Roloson. It's a long series. As for them being journeymen, sometimes it just takes time to figure the position out and be put into a situation where you are the go-to goalie. Example: Dominik Hasek in Chicago before being traded to Buffalo.

Heck, if you want to rag on the Wings (who are not a favourite team of mine), rag on their goaltending. Manny Legace? What about Chris (Never-Was)good? If the Wings of the late 1990s weren't so awesome, would he ever have won any Cups?

How can we talk about the playoffs and not talk about The Hit from the Buffalo-Philly series? Object lesson A in the importance of keeping your head up. What's with the Flyers acquiring holdout draft picks who skate with their heads down? (Lindros, held out from Quebec; Umberger, held out from Vancouver)
