Strong basic numbers even with some absolute stinker goals given up

And once it becomes second nature, they can focus more on the offense again!We’ve allowed 20 shots or less in 4 of the last 5 games, and under 25 in the last 5 games.
This team’s defensive game has developped so much. Really didn’t expect such a drastic change.

In a vacuum probably not.Markstrom's WTF moments are obvious, frustrating/annoying and easy to harp on, but overall he's been fine. I didn't expect him to be elite at his age, but he's been good enough to win games, which is a huge improvement on anything we've had since somehow getting a good year out of Vitek/Schmid two years ago. Has he been worth what we paid? I don't know. I guess that depends on how much you value late 1st round picks and Kevin Bahl (who I seem to recall this board not being particularly high on last year).
I know most will laugh this off, but I wonder if we could get Dostal from Anaheim? And what we could get him for?
Allen and Daws and a pick that isn't a first? Surely not a first like Askarov brought back? His value is probably at its highest right now with how he's played this year.
But ever since Gibson came back it's been like that time Randy Orton won the WHC and then Triple H immediately took the belt off him at the next pay per view.. The number of games he's played since Gibson has been back is a crime. He had Vezina-like numbers (in a still very small set of games played) and had to eat a pedigree on a steel chair. After Gibson and the Ducks staff dropped him on his head while they were carrying him around on their shoulders and then violently assaulting him.
But they'll probably keep him. They're close to being so late in Gibson's contract that someone might actually take or part of the last year of it.
They've gotten better and better. Last 15 games(23.5 sa's/60) better then the first 15(27.5 sa's/60). Last 6 games is top of the charts good at 21 shots against/60.I mean it has been. The defense has been incredible all year.
The Rags fall in the Athletic is less dramatic, but still funny.
Listing the top 8 teams of each conference until the Rags fall out in last one *whomp whomp*
