The year before some posters downplayed his shutouts as too easy. But that's the whole thing - goalies numbers can vary wildly because even over a season the difference between great stats and poor ones isn't that huge.

Seems like Huska recognizes the issue we will see but it was pretty obvious.
Probably one of the most frustrating parts about Sutter's coaching last year the lack of adjustments when it was evident the team was struggling mightily playing man on man defence and our goalie was being raked over the coals.
