This was a flawed team last year as it is this year. The reasons are a bit different with the changed systems, but last year was certainly a disaster with the exception of December. Our goaltending was not much worse than the predators' goaltending - a team that was in Round Two of the playoffs.
Given our SV%s this year it won't be long before revisionist history is talking about how awful Elliott and Johnson were.

If you don't think the goaltending was terrible last season, you might be the only one.
