They have completely changed their style from what made them the best team the past two months. They are playing more conservative to protect a goalie that has no business in the NHL not to mention starting the playoffs. But please tell me they just decided for no reason to start playing a **** conservative game for the hell of it.
Being raised in a predominately football (soccer) culture and witnessing so many score turnarounds when changing the playing system (disregarding Barca, Real, Bayern and such who get defense first all the time) I'm gonna go ahead and say that there is a reason and it's this organization's stupidity and cowardness. With all his shortcomings, Zatkoff is a lower end NHL back up, but a back up nonetheless.
How much pressure is he under if we're playing the right way, probably a lot less then now, if he spots them a few easy ones so be it, he's currently the best we have available. But the team starts collapsing, giving up shots and so many more plays in the o-zone. Sorry, but I'd rather lose to a better opponent (factoring injuries) playing the right way than lose by getting away from what made me successful. So they aren't forced to do anything like that, they just choose to and in my opinion that is not what should be done.
