The D was better last year than this year. The goaltending was also better last year than this year. Both were helped by the relatively shorter season.
I don't buy at all the argument that the defence is only as bad this year as it was last year.
It's pretty much the same personnel. Karlsson for Gonchar. Clearly the system in place and the sucky forwards has something to do with all the GA.
