We have Goalie dust to trade, so should be all good. BMGM shit the bed at deadline and we are suffering the co consequences now.

I don't blame him in general but I just can't see why all these goalies(and coaches) think crouching down and leaving the top part of the net open is a good idea. If he's standing up hugging the post like in the old days, no way Panarin can score from there. I'm just wondering if Trotz will now panic and put in Holtby.

We can blame Orlov on this one, but the main issue we've lost the grip and got stupid penalties.

I wouldn't say it was his fault but he could have played a couple of those goals better. He had an opportunity to block the pass on Vaneks goal. And the game winning goal he needed to cut down the angle and challenge the shooter a bit. There is no way Panarin should have scored from that angle. It should have been a fairly routine save.
Orlov did get turned around by Panarin on the goal but he was deep enough that he didn't have much to shoot at. I could see a 5 hole or 7 hole goal from there but the guy picked the far side.

I thought we started the wrong goalie. Grubauer wasn't bad but he wasn't great either. Now what do we do? Start Grubauer again? Or do we put the pressure on Holtby and tell him he has to dig us out of a hole.

I think Holtby also for a number of years is not a hot goalie in playoffs. Yes he kept us in the games most of the time, but wasn't exactly "steal one game or two".
