And it was their poor defense that caused them to get swept in the first round while Elliott couldn't super ultra difficult saves like shots from 35 feet to his left.



Elite defense my ass.
I guess it's all Sigalet's fault then.

But seriously what is their excuse these days? Did their exposure to Sigalet's goalie destroying tactics ruin them for life?
