The key to last year was that they took turns being hot and cold. Just as one would struggle, the other would get hot and Hartley juggled them perfectly. This year they both struggled at the same time so Hartley had nowhere to turn because Ortio was even worse.

But do you think taking 3 goalies into the season was a mistake? Because I sure as hell do. You can't rotate the net equally between 3 goalies, they should have gotten together after pre-season finished and picked 2 of the 3 to take into the season, then demoted the 3rd.
I don't see how that wasn't a mistake and if it was a mistake, then thats something that has to have contributed to the bad start. Like I said, whether you hold that entirely on the goalies, coaches, management or a combination of the 3, it was still a mistake and still something that contributed. How much is up for debate, but it contributed imo.
