A lot of times that would sound like a poor excuse but it was true. His "heroics"/adventures behind and outside of the net coughed up leads that the team in front of him had earned. Maybe the offensive players take a small step back, but factor in goaltending that is less risky and the flames could definitely be in a similar spot points wise, maybe better if some young players take a step.
