WASHINTON 2 NEW YORK RANGERS 1 - Game 6
BRADEN HOLTBY (WSH)
P2P RATING: 5
Game Stats: 30/31, .967%
McLennan Says: "Composure and Poise was all over this kid tonight. A terrific bounce back game, was strong in crease management and rebound control. Big right pad save on Callahan off a scramble in front was his best of the night, No chance on the only goal against, argument could be there for goalie interference. Continues to be the big story in Washington."
HENRIK LUNDQVIST (NYR)
P2P RATING: 4
Game Stats: 21/23, .913%
McLennan Says: "Great game also tonight. Was forced to make big saves all night. Robbed Backstrom twice, Ovi with the glove - again and on Carlson's 2 on 1. The Ovi goal against got him moving and he was deep, but the Chimera goal was a lucky bounce right onto his stick back door - No Chance."

MARTIN BRODEUR (NJ)
P2P RATING: 4
Game Stats: 27/28, .964%
McLennan Says: "Another great game for puck handling. Brodeur did not allow the Flyers to get on the forecheck once again because of his puck handling. Scrambled well in the net and found a way to deliver the win, something that his experience has shown throughout the playoffs."
ILYA BRYZGALOV (PHI)
P2P RATING: 2
Game Stats: 27/30, .900%
McLennan Says: "The Clarkson goal against was a symbol of how Bryzgalov's playoffs went: some bad luck and deflating goals that the Flyers could not recover from. He was not the whole problem big picture for the Flyers, but certainly did not help his cause with roller coaster play. His lethargic body language was not inspiring for the confidence of his team."

MIKE SMITH (PHX)
P2P RATING: 5
Game Stats: 32/33, .969%
McLennan Says: "Dominated the series, robbed Josi, Bourque and many more. He was the difference for the Coyotes every night, their MVP did it again, out duelled Rinne head to head. Composure and technical efficiency was at an all time high for him."
PEKKA RINNE (NAS)
P2P RATING: 3
Game Stats: 15/17, .882%
McLennan Says: "Traffic in front on both goals, through the body, ones he would like back. He had huge saves on Doan and Vrbata. Was good, but didn't really find his Vezina form from the regular season and the first round in this series."
NEW YORK RANGERS 3 WASHINGTON 2 (OT) - Game 5
HENRIK LUNDQVIST (NYR)
P2P RATING: 4
Game Stats: 16/18, .888%
McLennan Says: "Big saves on Green and Laich. He kept things close while the Rangers mustered some push back. The Laich goal he was deep and was cheating to the blocker side."
BRADEN HOLTBY (WSH)
P2P RATING: 3
Game Stats: 35/38, .921%
McLennan Says: "Big saves on Hagelin and Gaborik. He was very strong early in the game to give them an opportunity to stay in the game, as they were outshot 17 to 4 in the first. The Stralman goal was a screen, but his positioning was off, late to go down and through the body. On the game winning goal, he had no chance on the shot, screened through five bodies."

BRIAN ELLIOTT (STL)
P2P RATING: 2
Game Stats: 23/26, .884%
McLennan Says: "It was a rough series for Elliott. He let in two bad goals this game and the Blues couldn't battle back from it. Dustin Brown's game-winner was a great shot, but Elliott was down early on it, and Jordan Nolan's goal was through the body. Both were goals Brian would have had during the regular season."
New Jersey 4 Philadelphia 2 - Game 4
MARTIN BRODEUR (NJ)
P2P RATING: 4
Game Stats: 20/22, .909%
McLennan Says: "I didn't love the Claude Giroux goal because Brodeur basically beat himself by falling forward and not taking away the ice. Still, his puckhandling alone was brilliant and the main reason the Flyers could not get any sort of attack in the offensive zone. Brodeur controlled the play by making great plays with the puck and their breakout was seamless because of him."
ILYA BRYZGALOV (PHI)
P2P RATING: 4
Game Stats: 39/42, .928%
McLennan Says: "Bryzgalov made big saves on Adam Henrique, Zach Parise and two on Steve Bernier were the only reason the game was close. He did not get a lot of help in this game, looked poised and in control and easily gave his best effort of the second round. He just fell short with 39 saves."

HENRIK LUNDQVIST (NYR)
P2P RATING: 2
Game Stats: 23/26, .884%
McLennan Says: "Lundqvist had a very hot-and-cold game. He was brilliant early on, robbed Alexander Ovechkin and Alex Semin with the glove. I didn't like two of the three goals he allowed: Ovechkin's and Mike Green's were soft, one floppy glove and another through the body. Vintage Lundqvist would not have allowed them."

PEKKA RINNE (NAS)
P2P RATING: 4
Game Stats: 23/24, .958%
McLennan Says: "I didn't love the only goal of the game, but with no less than four huge saves, including one early on Mikael Boedker and later on Ray Whitney, Rinne delivered the type of goaltending we all expected to see. Shame someone has to lose in the barn-burners."

MARTIN BRODEUR (NJ)
P2P RATING: 3
Game Stats: 25/28, .892%
McLennan Says: "Schenn's goal was shortside and not good; it showed Marty's inability to butterfly and maximize ice coverage. Briere's goal was not a masterpiece either, but Brodeur had huge desperation saves on Briere later and he was good when needed."
ILYA BRYZGALOV (PHL)
P2P RATING: 3
Game Stats: 27/31, .870%
McLennan Says: "Bryzgalov was the busier of the two goalies. He made four great saves, including the breakaway save on Adam Henrique, which was a game-changer for the Flyers with the score 2-1, keeping it close. But the Parise goal was a side-to-side issue, he was too slow on the push to get across. He looked ordinary at times and needs to steal one for the Flyers to get them back in the series. Bottom line, so far he hasn't been good enough for Philly to get to the next level."

JONATHAN QUICK (LA)
P2P RATING: 4

P2P RATING: 1
Game Stats: 18/22, .818%

McLennan Says:"Was involved physically early in the first with Briere. Made two big saves on Wellwood and one two-pad stacker on Briere for a big win to even the series.

ILYA BRYZGALOV (PHI)
P2P RATING: 3
Game Stats: 31/34, .912%
McLennan Says:"Was the only reason Philly was in the game for the first two periods. Robbed Henrique three times (who was targeting his five-hole), and made numerous great saves. On Larsson's short side glove goal he was down early, but he was not to blame for the loss-at least gave them a chance."

PEKKA RINNE (NAS)
P2P RATING: 2
Game Stats: 34/39, .871%
McLennan Says: "Was not good again, but got a little help from some missed assignments by his "D" and Legwand. Bad rebounds and jittery play continue to plague him. He needs to find his Vezina form if Nashville has a chance."

MARTIN BRODEUR (NJ)
P2P RATING: 2
Game Stats: 32/36, .888%
McLennan Says: "Cheating two pad stack on Briere's first goal. Van Riemsdyk's goal was a result of poor puck play. A huge glove save on Talbot and robbing Hartnell in OT to hang in there, but distracted most of game by physical play from Flyers."
