Player Discussion What is the solution to this teams consistency problem?

I’m done blaming the goalie with this team. I’ve been doing that since Andy left. The team went out and got a recent Vezina winner, time for the team to stop making all the goalies look bad.

Ullmark has been bad, many of the goals he's allowed have nothing to do with the team in front of him, it's time for our vezina winner to either stop the pucks or to get used to being an overpaid backup.

Ullmark has been an issue. He is looks like he has no confidence. Playing small. Deep in his net.

What is it 10 goals allowed on 34 shots .. something like that.

Everyone brought in before Ullmark was shit. Backups. Ullmark is the first true disappointment since he actually brought a decent track record with him.

My thread was laughed at and derided yet here we are 2 weeks later, and the majority of the fanbase agrees consistency is the main issue plaguing this team.

I'd vote goaltending, but I'm also not gonna make an X account to do it.

I mean, every team has ups and downs, the issue is when we're good, our goalie is losing us games, so those lows really stand out because we don't have some wins from the good games to fall back on.

Yes, there will be ups and downs and it is not goaltending as the only issue on an individual game basis, but as far as what's neutering this team gaining any momentum, imo, goaltending is the obvious issue. They needed goaltending to be an area of strength and consistency, not a weakness losing them games like it has been so far.

I still have confidence in Ullmark long term, but I don't know if he'll get it together soon enough this year. They're sort of at a tipping point here where there's still time, but he looks beat atm. Deep in his net and leaky with goals going through him that shouldn't.

2nd goal last time is a prime example of what this team has to fix. We just tie it up and have a chance to build momentum. Instead our team turns the puck over twice leading to a goal against deflating whatever confidence we just built.

Its a mental issue
