The Senators did well to claw their way into the playoffs but they seem in way over their heads against the defending Cup champs, whose victory margin is growing by the game. <\/p>\n That said, these fantastic playoffs have taught us to expect the unexpected in many cases. <\/p>\n Does that mean Ottawa has a shot to stay alive on the road? <\/p>\n Game 4 was absolutely the most telling game of the series so far. First off, we saw the difference between Ottawa and Pittsburgh\u2019s star power. Even though the Sens\u2019 scorers, Daniel Alfredsson and Jason Spezza, finally found the net, they were no match for Pittsburgh\u2019s big guns. Sidney Crosby had four points and now has an amazing 11 in just four games so far in these playoffs. <\/p>\n Even Evgeni Malkin has a quiet four tallies in four games. <\/p>\n Secondly, we saw that Ottawa just doesn\u2019t have the goaltending for a deep playoff run. Brian Elliott has now allowed four goals in three of the four games in this series and has an ugly .863 save percentage in the series. <\/p>\n He\u2019s not a bad netminder by any means but, simply put, he should be a backup goalie. As a starter, he\u2019s below-average and that isn\u2019t good enough against a potent attack like Pittsburgh\u2019s. <\/p>\n If I\u2019m Cory Clouston, I definitely take a flier on Pascal Leclaire, who has much more natural ability than Elliott.
