Definitely at least 3 "stupid" goals against, due to unlikely deflection or Copley not doing nhl quality tending.. But they just have a hell of a time playing responsible defensive hockey.. Ovie and Kuzy don't want to be bothered in the defensive zone. And unfortunately that sets the example.

I did see Ovie doing his ole... coasting, cruising around waiting on someone to give me the puck routine a little too often yesterday. Hoping he is just conserving energy for when it's needed and not just lapsing into lazy play.

Yes, the forwards must be more responsible but Orlov and Niskanen have been dreadful most of the year. They are a combined -16. Meanwhile, Djoos and Siegenthaler are a combined +12 and sit in the press box.

Djoos was scratched to make room for Jensen. Siegs was sent back down to Hershey to make cap space for Djoos coming off the IR

I know. I'd scratch Orlov instead of Djoos. He's been a walking turnover all year. Niskanen hasn't been much better. I'd give up some offense in order to keep it out of our net. You can't win in the playoffs allowing 4-5 goals per game. Carlson is another one who scares the hell out of you in our end but, of course, he's going to play. One liability back there is tolerable. Two to three is a big problem.
