I think more then bad goaltending it was a terrible defensive system. Everybody looked like a chicken with their head cut off in the defensive zone so it's hard blaming the goalies only. Hopefully Tortz can shore that part of the system up and what they lose in risky high end offensive plays, they will make up in time spent in the offensive zone
It's exactly this, the Islanders goaltending didn't help, but watching the team system you knew the problems were deeper than just goaltending.
They were a bad team overall. Elite offensively, no doubt, but that came at a price.
