Explain it however you like, the answer to why they haven't been good has very simply been goaltending. That is the difference between a mediocre middle of the pack team and a consistent playoff team. If they get last year's Steve Mason, that probably won't change. If the Steve Mason from the year before that, or the year before that, it probably will.
