I think the overall team defense from forwards to defensemen and goalies are all a major problem for this team.
The forwards have been somewhat better this year based mainly on their effort and willingness to block shots but overall defensive awareness is still lacking for the most part.
I think blaming the goaltending, which I agree isn't good enough, is letting the other players in front of them off the hook.
You put Devan Dubnyk in there tonight and there is a good chance the score is the same as he may not have let in the JVR goal but a good chance he lets in a different stinker in. That is what bad goalies do when facing NHL talent.
