Absolutely. Last year we had elite goaltending and it kept us in almost every game early on, even when the team played poorly. This year Swayman has sucked and while it's not all on him, always falling behind is killing them as they have never played well trying to come back.
Some really weak goals too. That Olivier goal was ridiculous. Low skill player, moving slow, drags it from the side. That should have been an easy easy poke check end of threat.
The team has lost confidence in the goaltending and that's damaged their mindset as well. It's like a house of cards collapsing.
So is he sucking this badly because he never was that good? Did his ego get the better of him and he forget he has to actually work and not just count his cash? Has he cracked under the pressure? Or is he trying to get Sweeney fired as revenge for those nasty comments that hurt his feelings the year before? Who knows, but it's killing the season whatever it is.
