The defense "falling apart" is directly related to Dubnyk. It's no different when dubnyk is playing great. 2-3 weeks ago everyone around here was talking about being one of the best teams in the West. When your goaltender is playing well, everyone's confidence goes up and everything comes easier. Once a team loses confidence in their goaltender, everything goes to ****.
Or, you could say that we were buoyed by Dubnyk playing at Vezina level for October + early November, and although we might not be as bad as we are looking now, we also weren't as good as we looked then.
