they were this year, anyway, and i think the team expects too much from him when he's in there. he hasnt won us a playoff series in a long time. and this has nothing to do with the 2 soft goals he let in tonight.

The problem is they get a lead, then think they can just let the other team do whatever and Marty will save them. Take a look at the Caps-Rangers game. the Caps scored with 4+ minutes left. I think I maybe saw the Rangers get one or two good looks in those 4 minutes because the Caps played aggressive and forechecked. Every season this happens in the playoffs. The Devils get a lead and with 10 minutes to go start playing defense. No aggressive offense, just sit back and keep trying to clear while you expect Marty to save the 20 shots he'll face in the final 5 minutes. Drives me crazy to watch these playoff games where they have the lead.
