Hard to excuse those save percentages.

The oilers said the same thing for five+ years. Dubnyk, scrivens, fasths, bryzgalov, etc.
Is the goaltending bad? Sure
It it the only problem? Nope
Is our defense good? When theyve played to their abilities - vancouver and detroit - weve won. Otherwise hamilton, Russell, gio, and wideman have played some of their worst hockey of their careers.
Have the forwards been good on the backcheck? Not as a group.
How has the pk been? Terrible
The group is a disaster right now. That includes the goaltending.
