My main point to all of this is that certain folks want to point out Ward as being the main problem on this team ... and specifically in this game. It was the piss poor defensive game of the Blackhawks that far too often hung the goaltender out to dry, yet seldom did it get the criticism that Ward received.
Ward was far from perfect but BK is right. Preseason is meant for players to get the kinks out prior to October, and goaltenders are certainly no exception to that. Let's not throw any player under the bus at this point. Especially a goaltender who may be the number one with CC out.
