And that's as much an indictment on the team as it is on the three goalies. It's not like they all forgot how to stop a puck -- all three were lights out in the preseason.
The confidence thing is huge and it feeds off of each other. Goalies play more confidently when their D is keeping opposing scoring chances low, and the D plays more confidently when the goalie is making saves. Neither are happening right now in any great abundance, although its getting better.
