I have been out of the country for for the past week, so haven't watched any hockey. Of the bazillion goals given up in that timeframe, how many were "bad goals" due to the goaltending?

So far this season, the flames team defence has been flat out garbage. Can't handle any kind of strong forecheck, costly turnovers, bad timing on deciding when to pressure the puck carrier vs play conservative.

Outside of Brodie, i don't think any of the dmen have individually been horrid, which leads me to believe this is just as much on the forwards.

Frustrating to see yet another disappointing and mediocre team on the ice from this franchise yet again.

Forwards not good enough, defense not good enough, goaltending not good enough. Other than the flashes of brilliance here and there from Gaudreau, and solid hockey smarts from tkatchuk, it's a pretty blah group.
