I don't pin this loss on the goalies. The team as a whole seemed to have about zero defensive awareness tonight. The defencemen and the forwards. I didn't think any of the goals that were let in were terrible - a couple were probably save-able, but nothing ugly. What was ugly was the incredible looks the Hawks got on their shots.
Too many guys to list that I thought were bad.. but the players that I thought played well:
Bennett
Jankowski
Brodie
Dube
Lucic
Mangiapane
That's about it. The rest were shades of invisible to atrocious.
Lost races to pucks, lost battles for the pucks, a bunch of poor passes, didn't attack the net enough, didn't defend the net enough...
We had a Dallas Eakins' Oilers game tonight IMO.
