Playoff Pool: Day Seventeen

Puck

When the playoffs started, I was intriged by the first round match up between 2004 darling Miikka Kiprusoff and 2003 darling Jean-Sebastien Giguere.  Little did I know at the time that Ilya Bryzgalov would so quickly become the coolest duck since Frank McCool, recording his third shutout in a row.

Speaking of Frank McCool, the Toronto Maple Leaf goaltender who had three postseason shutouts in a row as a rookie against Detroit in 1945, is there a better name in all of sports?  I'd like to be called McCool, even if only for a day.  That would be the McCoolest.
