Literally every measure is telling us how badly the goalies have performed, including just watching them. Why wouldn't you be inclined to believe all observable evidence?
Adjusted save percentage takes into account defensive performance, at least to some extent, by adjusting for the number of shots in high-danger areas vs lower danger or perimeter shots. There are 37 goalies this year who have played at least 300 minutes (~5 games). Of those,
-Karri Ramo is 35th out of 37 in adjusted save percentage with a .891;
-Jonas Hiller is 37th out of 37 in adjusted save percentage with a .865.
Even if defense is a problem, it's just not possible for even an all-star d corps to dig out of a hole like that.

Fine. Explain why these same goalies were ok last year.
We've seen plenty of goalies put up bad numbers in Edmonton, and perform much better on other teams.
I do think there is blame to go on the goalies. 20/80. For one person to be responsible for 20% of that equation is significant.
If Price were our goalie, how many more points would we have? A few I think, but we would still be struggling.
