The "cautious optimism" has fallen to "doubtful cautious optimism".

Have to say though, this CANNOT be blamed on our goalies or even saying "Well if Ortio was here we would be in the playoffs". Our forwards need to smarten up.

Goals For Since Ortio's Injury: 41
Goals Against Since Ortio's Injury: 45

A 4 goal differential really doesn't scream to me poor goaltending. If you take out the two blowout games (4-7 and 7-8 losses), it becomes 30GA and 30GF. Outside of those two games, both Thiessen and Carr have been pretty solid in net. It seems many of our forwards are going through goal droughts or just not stepping up in the game. Wolf and Hathaway are the offense along with our defence. Many of the Flames forwards are still invisible.

Edit:

Forwards currently struggling

Poirier - No points in 3 games
Hanowski - 1 point in 6 games
Vause - 2 points in 7 games
Arnold - No points in 3 games
Tousignant - No points in 8 games
Elson - 1 point in 5 games
