As the playoffs near the midway point, there is the distinct possibility the goaltenders on the four teams involved in the conference finals will have a total of zero games in NHL post-season play before this season.
In the Eastern Conference, we're assured of at least one rookie goaltender in the final, with Buffalo's Ryan Miller holding a 3-1 edge over Ottawa's Ray Emery going into Game 5 tonight in Ottawa. And Carolina rookie Cam Ward can put the broom to the New Jersey Devils this afternoon.
Coaching, teamwork and inspired play can overcome experience!
