Really wrong post, eye-test and the underlying numbers say they're top 5-10 defencive core unit in the entire NHL. Today though, Barrie has been responsible for at least two of the Oiler goals and Varlamov/Grubs the rest. It's just two games, even Lightning got wacked earlier in the season. Varlamov and Grubauer is one of the top duos in the whole league, you'd look stupid if you think there are like seven better.The goalies are part of the team.
p.s. So is the defense and the Avs defense is putrid.
