Well they certainly didn’t get great goaltending from Koskinen or Talbot which was part of the problem. Also they were icing defensemen like Manning, Petrovic, Jones and etc due to injuries which didn’t help. But they planned a more defensive oriented game and weren’t afraid to trap. If anyone has seen the goals Talbot has given up over the last 2 years, it definitely makes me nervous. Not sure if the goaltending equipment change has affected him a lot but it seems very possible.
