Not arguing about the defensive shortcomings but as mentioned that’s why you need stellar goaltending. Great goaltending makes up for a lot of mistakes. The last line of defence. Not sure you watched the game but the goal the Soo scored right after the Wolves went up by two is a prime example of a soft goal through the wickets that could have lost the game. Even the goal after the player went in and threw it over Ranger‘s shoulder while he was almost crouched inside the net. No, defensive issues aside, I still think finding consistent, stellar goaltending is job 1. Without a foundation you’re sunk.
