From a pure # of goals perspective, Coleman and Backlund have been good, nobody else is even meeting expectations.

That is the hard part of anecdotal evidence of fluky goals over a small sample size. I recall a lot of fluky goals last year too. However, the course of 82 games demonstrates that bounces happen sometimes and they even out later. Some players go on shooting % hot streaks for a year and come back to earth. It's odd for a whole team to go completely cold at the same time and stay that way for 82 games.
