The team played well enough to win this game. In fact this was a game that we should have won. If we had even average goaltending in this game we win easily.
No, he didn’t have a great game, but he probably played well enough to win. But the 6 Dmen hirt him way more than helped him.
One of the things to note is with the garbage that’s in front of them, our goalies have no room to allow softies of any kind.
Now I’m saying excuse them, but even Hassak and Broduer missed with their glove once in a while. . . but they also didn’t have Dman giving the puck away right in front of with no one else around, high volume turn overs multiple odd man rushes, Dman player mg behind the net so they can’t get back, and forwards that watch breakaways as they glide back.
But they did have was Coaches and 1& skaters that protected them, and more so on off games to stop the proverbial bleeding. Holtby and Grubauer have nothing like that. Which is probably why after those “ones they’d like to have back”, everything goes downhill very quickly
