The coach has no excuse to trot out the ‘we don’t have the kind of talent’ position. Well, other than the fact that it is just something he says, and his brother said when he had prime Iggy
The goaltending would not be an issue in my opinion. It’s the attention to detail and egregious breakdowns that have killed then this year. Clean that up, and the goaltending wouldn’t be talked about nearly as much

I do realize the team was good, but that was having the best line in the league last year. Ripping that line out and putting different players in isn't garnering the same results. That's not coaching, that's chemistry and fit.
For the goaltending I do agree there has been breakdowns but I also am of the opinion that Markstrom is having an off year. Last year Markstrom would have saved a lot of what's got past him this year I think.
