[quote="gorilla1"]BSM is a solid team with many good players. They will get Bette as the season goes as well now that their goalie is back. Out of the teams that are left they might be the favorites with MG.[/quote]
It doesn't matter who their goalie is when you give 11 breakways in 2 games they are sitting ducks back there. It's about teaching team defense which doesn't appear to happen. You can't hang your goalie out to dry with a 5 man forecheck. Undisiplined team, due poor coaching.

[quote="gorilla1"]Well Timmy, unless you're playing knee hockey, if a team is giving up 11 breakaways in two games, it seems to me that who your goalie is becomes even more important. They'll be fine.[/quote]
While I enjoyed playing knee hockey, I havn't played in 35 years. Even with their "regular" goalie they still gave up 3 breakaways one of which they scored on. The MG game they 8 in 2 periods and their "other" goalie only gave up 4. My point is they are atrocious on defense, whether transition D or penalty kill (see B'ville) game.

I noticed too that on offense last night all three goals scored in regulation were on the power play. While that helps your power play stats, you expect a team of talented forwards to also score 5 on 5, especially against a team that's ranked 10+ spots lower.
We'll see today if yesterday's game was just an anomaly or if BSM is developing some problems on offense while they attempt to get better on defense.
