How many bad angles and uncontested goals from the point need to go in before we can blame the goalies? Is it the defense's fault neither of them can control rebounds?
Holtby looked good last year because Dale packed 5 dudes in front of the net to block shots and clear the crease.
I wouldn't say it's the defenses fault that neither of them can control a rebound, but it is their fault for all the rebound goals were they couldn't tie up the guy that scored said rebound goal...Also what bad angle goals against are you talking about or uncontested goals for that matter???
Obviously there has been a few soft goals, but both goalies have also made a few nice saves. But most of the "uncontested goals from the point" have been scored because of the following:
1. the forward isn't covering his point
2. the forward or defense is screening the goalie
3. Or like most of the shots from the point..the puck gets tipped on its way to the net
Bottom line is, the goalies can only play as well as the players in front of them...this includes def/off playing well in the defensive zone as well as getting some help from the off by actually scoring some goals...the caps have yet to score more than 3 goals this season, because quite honestly, they don't have the depth to do so.
