Kadri’s one hand push of the puck, you think all teams and all players do that? His game stood out among all players last night.
You blame the goaltending and point to the stats. To me, they reflect a team that, defensively, is penny wise and pound foolish.

I'm in the middle of this argument. Stats to me tell a pretty damning story about goaltending season long. In a game like last night, for me, not as much. For me, notwithstanding shot suppression overall, two goals were almost unstoppable (the first goal which was a laser post and in and the wide open backdoor pass on the third goal). And the other two, while saveable, were not just typical good chances, they were chances handed on a silver platter. I mean, Markstrom has to be deep in his net on that first Kadri giveaway. The last goal was the worst on him though I still think it was tipped off the release.
So how do we account for those? I guess we don't on a season wide basis.
