This year it was their penalty killing that was their demise. Game 5, all three Tampa goals were off the powerplay. He might have had 2 bad nights, and maybe 3 soft goals the entire playoffs.
Saying Philly 'sucks' is not a valid comment.

let me edit, i didnt say my sentence correctly, Philly sucked because of Esche. Their team is full of gritty veterans. Esche lets in long shots because he is blind. if Philly ever gets great goaltending again they will be way more competative. as u know goaltending is everything now in hockey, and i dont see Esche even close to being a top goaltender.
