Of course it can be fixed by coaching. Goalies who were league average last year don't just forget how to play and become the worst in the league overnight. They need to be better - including positionally, which coaches can help with. They also need the team in front of them to play smarter, simpler hockey. Which, again, the coaches can help fix.
It's easy to get all Oilersfanish and blame the goalies, but the truth is, we're giving up a crazy number of high quality chances, something we did not do last year. Fix that, and the goaltending problem sorts itself out.
Or, you can overreact. That's easier, but not better.
