Now we have an offense-first mindset, but you should know it's going to inevitably leave things a little loose on the back end.

Our current system requires a guy of Kiprusoff's stature to back the team and make some harder than average saves for us. It's just the way it is. That's the only way we're going to be able to win games in offensive fashion.
So naturally, when we get a super average goalie in between the pipes, our system and style is going to make him look pretty bad, cause he's not going to make those saves that the team can come to expect with an elite guy.
Not that hard to grasp. Nor should it be surprising.
This team does need Kiprusoff.

Clearly one of the few that still believe the problem lied in the coaching the past 10 years or so.
I hate to be the one to break this to you, but this team is not a winning team even with Kipper in net.
Not that hard to grasp. Nor should it be surprising (yet some people continue to believe a new system will fix the same broken, uninterested team). Hey, I applaud your optimism.
