Brodie is playing against the best players in the world on a nightly basis.
If you are to play him in those situations you have to take the good with the bad. For the most part tonight I though he handled the likes of Datsyuk and Zetterberg wonderfully. One botched pass led to a goal, but Joey MacDonald simply has to be better on that play and be there for his young defensemen.
Simply put... the goaltending tonight (and the entire season for that matter) has just not been good enough. When both of your goaltenders sit below an .890SV% it is no wonder that our "small" mistakes as Kerr likes to call continuously end up in the back of our net.
It is Reto Berra time.
