That playoff series was not only amazing but also thrilling. His performance in games 5, 6 and 7 and then again in game 6 and 7 were fantastic and memorable. Had had some bad games otherwise and was really bad against the Flyers but it doesn't take away from that otherwordly play in those five games I listed. He didn't beat anyone by himself, but he sure as hell helped.

Cammy, Gorges, Gill, Subban, Lapierre and Moore deserve a lot of credit too. It wasn't just Halak.
I agree.

The reason we made our run is because Halak did what he does best by stopping the initial shot and the team in front of him did an incredible job of taking care of those ugly rebounds that so often go straight out in front of him.
