I think everyone said Lundqvist is the better goalie. But are you trying to say Holtby did not have a great series and has not shown he's been a terrific playoff goalie? When the finger pointing starts, Holtby is probably the last guy who gets criticized by anyone. He had a lousy Game 7, but he was great for 6 games. That puts him ahead of pretty much everyone else on the roster.

Holtby matched Lundqvist for six games. Lundqvist is only the best goalie on earth, ecept maybe Quick. I fail to see how that is worthy of criticism. I mean, I know you;re trolling, but geez. Up your game a little.

Christ, way to read too much into my post.

Holtby is a fantastic goalie, but the way Caps fans were posting up these comparison stats made it seem as if they thought Holtby is better or on the same level as Lundqvist.

So no, I'm not trolling, I think Holtby is a damn good goalie, but I thought it was pretty questionable by Caps fans posting Holtby's small sample size postseason stats and comparing them to Lundqvist's.

That's all. *shrugs*

I think he's played equal to Lundqvist for two straight series, so I think the comparison is valid. And since no one argued Holtby was better than Lundqvist, the only place you're going is a bridge outside of Trollville. Even you admit Holtby was excellent, just as he was last postseason. He and Lundqvist WERE equals. So the comparison is... wait for it... completely valid and borne out by events.

Holtby had a lousy Game 7, but he clearly was not the issue in this series. and he was just as good as Lundqvist this year and the last. And Lundqvist was flat out awesome in this series.
