In the end, this series will be remembered for too many
missed opportunities, too many ill-timed goals allowed by Rochester’s goaltender, Ryan Miller, and too much Flaherty.
Meanwhile, Miller allowed eight goals — including two softies in Game 4 — on 75 shots. He wasn’t why Rochester lost this series, but he wasn’t a difference maker. Few young goaltenders are. Of course, neither were Rochester’s goal scorers.
Jason Pominville and Chris Taylor didn’t have a goal in the series. Pittis — who will have nightmares about the wide-open shot he fired wide in the third period — Norm Milley and Jason Botterill had only one each.
What made the goal sting was that it came just 22 seconds after Derek Roy had tied it 1-1 for Rochester, whipping a shot over Flaherty’s shoulder he never flinched on.
Not laying blame here, but some info about how key prospects performed when the season was on the line.
