I’m not sure what he thinks the goalie’s job is. Not a lot of handles. He can’t score, so stop the puck.

I think it means that in general, he feels he didn't play well down the stretch overall, likely meaning more focus on the stopping the puck part, I'm sure he gets that's the bulk of his job. And he's saying it wasn't a physical issue re: the injury, he feels he mentally didn't put himself in a position to play his best, likely because he felt like he had to steal games for the team, versus simply playing his role as best he could.
Not sure what the confusion is. A nice refreshing answer from our goalie, accepting responsibility for his role in the collapse down the stretch, while also providing us clarity from his perspective on whether his less than ideal performance had to do with coming back too quickly from injury.
