This team has had the exact same leaky defence for the last 4 years. This isn’t a new or gg specific problem. The flames have really creative, offensive defensemen who really lack defensive responsibility. That’s all there is to it. Top defence core on paper sounds nice, but when they are a top defence core because of their offence and not their defence thenyoure going to have an almost never ending problem keeping pucks out of your net without stellar goaltending - which has been exactly the case. How many times over the last few years have awful goaltenders problems been exacerbated by totally porous defense?
