YES!

Senators are in the Eastern Conference Final. I think the very hyped match-ups of super offensively talented Pittsburgh and uber-defensive New Jersey were a little overblown. Still, I think the Senators are playing well. Brodeur seems to have worn down from the regular season, as his play against Tampa and Ottawa would suggest. Simply not characteristic of him to let in such soft goals, especially in the playoffs. I feel for him, but fortunately his record and even recent play this year suggest it was an anomaly. Any other goaltender with a lesser resume would be questioned the rest of his career.
So far, the key for Ottawa seems to be balance. Solid play from four lines and two-way play from everyone. Emery is getting better each series. Now, it is a matter of waiting for the Rangers or Sabres.
