Kipper is responsible for 1. If the rest of the team absolutely quit after that, then that is their fault entirely, not the goaltender's.

Agreed. Those types of plays happen. Its a pretty mentally weak team to deflate so badly after one bad goal. The whole team was horrible. Kipper didn't play well but he was hung out to dry from the 1st goal on. Now he has to shoulder the burden.
