I don't know if I see this as anything but bad luck. He took the eventual Stanley Cup winners to game 7 three times in his career. The Ducks were the only team to bring the Hawks to game 7 last year, in that series the Blackhawks won in triple overtime and double overtime. Either game goes the other way and the Ducks are hoisting the Cup.
2009 he won game 7 against the Rangers as well, so it's not like he's only lost game 7s.
