Bad teams lose, good teams win. Bad teams have bad goaltending (mostly), good teams have good goaltending. It's all too easy to put all the teams issues on goaltending this season and say "If only we had a better goalie, we'd have more wins". That's quite a stretch.
We're still a bad team, even if our goalies are performing to expectations. Our D looks like a dog-****, our O is struggling to click consistently, our special teams are laughable. What about that says "Goalie is our only issue?". Tired of waiting for Tallon's masterplan to unfurl in its magnificent splendor. We have severe personnel problems. And while our team looks good on paper, and believe me, it does, that is hardly what you are getting on the ice. Its a perplexing issue that has transcended specific team make-up. Its been an issue for as long as I can remember. No matter how good the player we have is on PAPER, they never perform to an effect that can make this a successful franchise (sans Bure ofc, the goat). At this point I think its a culture thing. S fla is a ****ty place for a hockey team. We can never maximize any players potential because they know this fact as well. Tampa for some reason is exempt from this **** culture, but I'm not gonna busy myself with figuring out what they put in the water that we dont. They simply care more.
