The irony is the bad play by the D in general is causing them to take extra hits. Their lazy passes to each other, putting each other in crappy positions, and being careless with the puck all end with their respective partners taking that extra hard hit.
Right now they're their own worst enemies. If they straightened out just some basics amongst each other, they'd take much less punishment.
