Accurate. Hakstol would have won a half dozen more games each year with competent goaltending. Vigneault would have lost ten more games last year with incompetent goaltending.
The only conclusion that can be drawn about this team from this season is this: they’re just not good enough to compensate for poor goaltending.
No team is. No HC can.
You can compensate for mediocre goaltending, Hak did in 2017-18, Q is doing so this season, AV did last year in the regular season (the slow start was bad goaltending, the hot finish was good goaltending).
But putrid goaltending like this season? Run up the white flag.
