It doesn't "happen on a nightly basis". You're taking infrequent instances where he's struggled, asserting it's all the time, and essentially saying he's a net negative as a result. He's not a "nightmare" in his own end. That's hyperbole.
It would go a long way if you could simply criticize aspects of his game without all the "all the time" + "nightmare" connotations.

Why would I change "all the time" when it is every game? This is not a one off thing, he has at least one blunder per game that either costs the team a goal or leads to a prime scoring chance. He consistently gets beat in the D zone, the opposition can drive to the net and he lacks the size and strength to push them off the puck. He is decent playing the puck on the boards however as soon as the opposition has control in the offensive zone and generate good puck movement he is clueless as to positioning and gets lost in his coverage. How can you argue he is not a net negative? He is -9 on a team with one of the best D units in the NHL and an all star goalie. Too me you are arguing that because when he played on the right side with Gio and he seemed a much different player he is still that player now despite the overwhelming evidence he is not and so you are making up your own reality to fit your agenda. You say things like he has been solid since Christmas and it is just fiction, the numbers and the actual watching of games says it just isn't reality. We would all like TJ Brodie to be as good as he used to be but saying he is does not make it reality.
