Defensively, there is nothing to complain about.

People are quick to forget also that he's had a long long year...
1-he had to carry more than his share all year with AK, Cammy, Gio, Gomez, Pouliot etc all missing a chunk of the season.
2-He played in the Olympics, this I think also hurt Richards and Toews at the end of the playoffs.
3-The habs had two 7 game series against top teams to get to the 3rd round in which he had a big role on PK and help shutting down big guns.
His tank may have just gotten empty like other players.
