Of course it would be great to reduce these numbers further, but it's much easier to overlook defensive gaffes when the puck is being stopped.
The Flames' 5v5 save % of 88.1 would be the lowest since Philly's 87.5 in 06-07. Yikes.

Good goaltending can make the defense look better and good defense can make the goalie look better. Stats dont lie but I know what i see and its poor defense and poor goaltending.. that together makes it look really bad.
