He wasnt even close, responsible for the second goal against and got beat on the outside twice.

Getzlaff was IMO the best player on the ice for us.

While I agree that he wasn't the best player on the ice, he wasn't nearly as bad as you thought. I remember him getting beat outside once, but I think he got caught on a long shift. Also his giveaway just prior to Crosby's goal was cringe worthy......however

I will never doubt that guys ability to raise his game ever again. Most of this season plus early in the tournament he looked old and a step behind, but in the past few games he elevated his play to the point he and Weber were the #1 pairing, he was unbeatable one on one, moved the puck well and didn't get beat along the boards.

All I can say is its a damn good thing that Phaneuf didn't make the team. If he had, he would have been undressed so many times that his pants would have been frozen to the ice.

Our D, in most cases, was phenominal. I hope Phaneuf watched the games and perhaps learned something. I always liked Dion.... but in the last couple of years I think he's gotten lazy and figures he's better than he is. I hope he changes.

Doughty is twice the D-man that Phaneuf is with half the time in the NHL
