Originally posted by mbflyerfan: Just watched Bob Clarke's press conference. No suprise, they will NOT be bringing Czechmanek back for next season, so look for Philly to be making a trade or signing a goaltender this offseason. Rob Esche may end up being the number one.
Clarke's an idiot.
Chechmanek won the first round for them. Toronto and Philly played similar styles of grinding, pounding hockey, and goaltending helped them win.
Second round, against a fast, quick, hyper-accurate shooting and passing team like Ottawa? The defense was flat-footed and embarassed. No goalie in the world can stand up to a team that can make cross-ice passes in and out of the slot. Goalies just can't move laterally as quickly as a puck can . . . .
The defense crumbled under the speed and accuracy of the Senators.
Go ahead, keep the big, slow, strong defense, but bring in a new goalie. See how far it gets ya, Bobby . . . :rolleyes:
