This one, I think that Detroit has to be very careful that they don't overthink it, overanalyze it, or place blame in the wrong places.

Because that could happen here.

Since the Olympic break, the goalie that has allowed the most goals when his team has been up by a goal is John Gibson.

Now, there were four key losses during the time that Detroit could have solidified their position in the postseason.

It was a loss on March 10th versus Florida.

They led twice in that game, and then two goals came back against Gibson, ones that I thought he should have had.

i paid a lot of attention to the game march 21st it was a game on espn i watched it at home here against boston same thing happened they led twice in the game and he gave up bad goals leads to a loss same thing happened april 7th against columbus where the team led twice and then three times april 11th against the new jersey doubles i watched all of these goals guys there was a common theme

He was on his ass.

He was lifting up his one pad as he's coming across on his knees when he could have came across on his feet.

It was through screens.

There wasn't a lot of battle there.

If I was on the bench, I would have said, we need a save there.

We're up.

The worst part about this is that his save percentage should have been 909.

He had the easiest environment when his team was up by a goal.

And he had the worst save percentage, 833.

Now, what that tells you is that there's a guy here that's had a lot of history.

Go back to Anaheim.

There were years there where I always wondered, why isn't he leaving Anaheim?

They're not winning.
