I mean, this is a fact. Teams score fewer goals when they are trailing. And teams trail more when their goalies allow backbreaker goals against the flow of the play.
I've never said our goal scorers have been great, but considering the defensive style we play, they've been alright. The 2014 Kings were not a high scoring team either, playing Sutter hockey. The 2004 Flames were also not a high scoring team.
Our defensive style of play however, has not resulted in low GAAs. At best our GAA was average, despite strong defensive play.
That's on Markstrom and co.
