If no one has a decent goalie.
Carolina is the only team in the final 8 who isn't giving up 3+ goals a game.

I'd be interested in scoring chances this playoff season v previous years, I don't remember so many "weak" goals in the post-season. Even guys who were playing well, like Schmid, have melted down.

Seattle has 35 goals, Schwartz 5, Eberle 4, 16 others with 26.

The good goalies got overwhelmed by goalscoring.

Goal goes in it's always the goalies fault :huh:
What makes a good goalie? Stopping goals that average goalies allow.
We saw how TB looked this season when Vasilevskiy was below average instead of excellent.
Or just look at the Flyers with Hart in goal v Sandstrom.

Wait, I thought the Flyers were hard to play against because Torts was a great coach, not just getting bailed out by a good goalie.

It's crazy how often the narrative flops when the situation needs it to.

John Tortorella turned Martin St. Louis into Martin St. Louis, Carter Hart into Carter Hart, but somehow didn’t turn Sandstrom into Carter Hart

In case this wasn't shared earlier, AI has made me laugh so hard last night that my throat was sore for like a half hour. And it's mostly because of the "vast improvement" on the Washington jersey.
