The defense needs remedial training, a goalie change won’t do anything, there isn’t a goalie in the world capable of playing reasonably behind the chaos that is Oiler decision making.
Two Oiler defensemen last night made egregious level plays that wouldn’t fly at the peewee level. Each blindly turned and threw a puck up the middle of the ice from their defensive end. They managed to hit their own players in the shin and midsection respectively, Bouchard nearly had an own shot against because of this. Use your eyes, use the boards! Going up the gut blind is pure lunacy.
That and after the kick in wave off goal, they gave up a 3 on 1 into a lone breakaway tip from the slot within 10 seconds of the neutral zone face off. This is absurd, how can you possibly have multiple people out of position immediately after a draw, this is all solved time, these are professionals, if you can’t plan out and mitigate mistakes 10 seconds from the draw you are going to get destroyed.
