IMO Our goaltending has been terrible, our defensive play has been just as bad.
Thank god Brodie is back. Hes a stud. Want to see him play with Hamilton to see if thry can get going together
Edit: its not all on the D either, forwards have to be better on their coverage in their own zone

What I mean by it won't improve without atleast average goaltending is that when you have a lack of confidence in your goalie you overthink and make more mistakes. A bad goalie can make a good defense look bad.
Ramo was average last night but they also looked like a team who didn't trust their goalie. I'm sure they feel a little better about him after last night and if that continues I think you'll see less mistakes. If the goaltending goes back to being horrible I don't think any changes they make to the defense will matter.
