Goldtending is not our only problem - Stats lie

Post by a smell of green grass »

I see many saying that our goals-against is x, and our goals-for is y. If only the goalies played better, we would have a winning record.... This is foolish thinking.

Teams play "down" to our level. Which means that they don't score nearly as many as they could if they tried, or if they were pressed. Watch closely when the Blues get the lead, or come within 1 of the other team. That situation is when you can see how weak the Blues are. When this score difference arrives, the other team will score again GUARANTEED.

Goal-tending is not our only problem. Not by far. Teams are stronger than us, and when it matters, they score. We don't.
