Lundqvist vs. Brodeur

St. Louis Blues goaltender Manny Legace analyses the first round goaltending match-ups for NHL.com...

"One thing Lundqvist has to remember is that it’s just a regular goalie over there. You don’t want to psych yourself out, thinking you have to do something different because of the guy at the other end of the rink. It enters your mind, same as playing against Patrick Roy. A guy might think, “I have to stand on my head tonight.” Most of the time it just backfires and it ends up hurting you. But knowing just how Marty plays in big situations, it enters your mind."

...I love how NHL.com has a goalie who wasn't good enough to get his team into the playoffs analyzing the goaltending match-ups.

...and why wasn't this analysis done before the first round started?
