What Jake meant but didn't clarify because he was typing fast is that the goalies have set a very high bar with their play to this point and when one plays "well" but not "great" it seems to fans like he played "poor" and not "well". I don't know
if that makes sense but the point is because we are accostumed to seeing 1-2 goals against all season, a big 5 stands out, but when whitehead broke down the tape, he felt Doyle played "well" (as opposed to great), there were some odd-man rushs off
"fancy" plays by the forwards and that led to several of the goals.
The point is, play tough d, don't try to do too much on the "style" side of things and the goalies will continue to be solid. But if you hang them out to dry on odd-man rushs then they are bound to get beat like they did in game one of the MC
series. Maybe that explains things better?!
