never use metrics in judging a goalie.
Especially when you can blame "the defense".

Yep. Fairly certain that most fanbases would say “Hey, that guy might not be good.” Not here. Everyone, EVERYTHING is at fault, EXCEPT the goalie!
Yeah, because our team defense, bad pinching, and position play is really really good.
Guess what. Jarry needs to play better. DeSmith needs to play better.
Our Defense needs to play better.
Our Offense needs to play better.
When we play f***ing bad... we really playCH]

Jeebus, you care too much posting all those pics.
And not once did I say goaltending was the only issue. Simply saying it’s been bad. So has pretty much everything else.
I don't care too much, I just dislike "alternative" facts.
"Simply saying it's been bad." is what everyone else has said too, hyperbole aside.
As you can in both cases Jarry and DeSmith. There was one picture where the goal had any defenders in the right spot.
Also, I didn't account for the additional 2-5 more high danger saves they do make.

Oh and my favorite 3 v 5 defense of the night... Notice 2 ISLES at the BLUELINE. We can't even defend at 5 v 3 some times...

Ultimately barring a turnaround at this point the haters have the stats on their side with xGA and HDCA. Personally I think something is like, wrong with those stats or it isn't capturing the sheer sucktitude of the Penguins entire defensive system and PK. But I don't know. I don't think I've ever had my eye test as far off the fancy stats as the ones that say we are in the middle of the pack in xGA.
But the stats are what they are and so until we put up a 2 or a 1 or (gawd forbid) a 0 people can justifiably complain about TJ and CDS.
It is what it is.
One thing I'll say: fix the PK immediately. The only reason that game was close was that there was only 1 Powerplay chance.

.882 and .857 are not exactly the dream tandem right now. The facts are shown above. Maybe one Desmith goal was contested by our defense... the rest
I would love for either of them to stop an extra one or two but I would also love for a Defensemen to clear the crease or at least be in the crease.
