At this point, they should just play 2021-2022 hockey and win games 7-6. At least it would be a fun regular season.

Because they won’t go anywhere in the playoffs anyways with this kind of defense and goaltending.

14 mil combined in goaltending, with 4 mil results.
Not to say it's on Bob tonight, but it's not like he's playing like a + goalie.

Zito needs to find a way to improve the blueline. tough task now.

It’s hard to be mad at Bob. He’s played damn well the last couple of games.

I can't say I'm mad. It is what it is. The defense hasn't been good, they're not sustaining pressure in the offensive zone, and the goaltending is bad. The power play also looks terrible again.

Just a really bad road trip. Funny, I think this is the best game they've played of the bunch, lmao.

I think their D core is so ass and the goalies are just all over the place. A good D man will fix a lot of this.

They're giving up too many breakaways and odd man rushes, but statistically the defense has actually been fine, and overall the quality / volume of shots allowed has not been terrible. There have been lapses and a few notably bad nights, but overall, this defense isn't a dumpster fire. Or rather, it really wasn't up until the Vancouver game.

Stats don’t pass the eye test and sometimes are misleading.
Look at Tua for the Dolphins.
