In general I agree, but I have a tough time blaming him for those goals. Maybe the second one he was deep in his net. But I'd put it more on the team for giving up two 2-on-1s and a wide-open backdoor pass so soon after one another. I'd argue going back to last year that the quick collapse is less of a goaltending problem, and more a result of our skaters trying to force the play after getting scored on. Gillies' bigger problem was giving up a comical softy out of nowhere, usually early in the game.
