The Goaltending has been bad but its naive to say that the D has been as advertised.
For those advanced stats gurus you can also look to the corsi for our D (and entire team) and see that there are some bad actors that are giving up too much. That has nothing to do with the goaltending.
I think there is a group that thinks its a combination of poor defensive play and a group that thinks its only goaltending.
I think its a combination of subpar goaltending and poor defensive coverage and costly defensive mistakes. Look at Talbot, hes probably an average goalie that was getting padded stats in NY and is getting a bit exposed now. And of course he is getting blamed up north instead of their terrible defense.not comparing our defense to theirs because theirs is worse than bad but its a similar scenario.
That being said the goaltending still needs to be better.
