Andrei Vasilevskiy: 25 GP, Low Danger Goals Against: 3
Anton Khudobin: 24 GP, Low Danger Goals Against: 7
Robin Lehner: 16 GP, Low Danger Goals Against: 2
Semyon Varlamov: 20 GP, Low Danger Goals Against: 4
Cam Talbot: 10 GP, Low Danger Goals Against: 6 (and they all happened in the Dallas series)
When Tree says "goaltending was a strength" in the playoffs, he's literally just paying lip service. Talbot did win a game (Game 3 Vs. Dallas), but outside of that he was nowhere near good enough to win a playoff series. Not even close. Doesn't mean he was the only problem, but he was a massive problem. Allowing that many low danger goals in such important games is going to sewer any team because low danger goals against ruin good defensive work of your team.
