Our goals against isn't that bad. 2 Quote

I think they have generally played pretty well on D, it's just that they are prone to mistakes that have led to a turnover goal or two per game. It's like factoring in that one softie per game Macintyre was often guilty of . Quote

Zane had a save % better than .925 in his 2 years as a starter.........and that's the only stat for a goalie that matters. #UNDBIZknowsgoalies So we can surmise that UND is giving up .8 more goals per game this season vs last is strictly due to Cam's save %? The defense this season overall has been below average and that's being generous. 2 1 Quote

And there's not question our D is nowhere near what it was last year. That was a generational team defense. We are turnover prone, and both D and forwards have missed assignments in front of the net. it's certainly not just the Dmen who have been guilty. I'm just saying this team will often do a decent job of keeping the play on the perimeter for most of the game only to give up the puck in transition leading to a goal. Quote

After that, please point out where I said Johnson has been a bad goalie this season. My prior post was simply pointing out how pointless it is to say a worse goalie than Cam would have a worse save percentage than Cam. Apparently it needed a winky face or something. 1 Quote
