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.

I agree, but Brodie has made at least 1 or 2 turnovers that ended up in the back of our net for 4-5 games in a row. I just think he needs a night off to get his head straight and calm down out there.
I also think Billins deserves a chance to see if he's any better. He's still young and could be a piece of the future, so I would favor him over Brodie at this current moment.
I also don't want to punish a player for making mistakes, but he's made too many in a row now and needs a shakeup.
