The debate among Florida Panthers fans as to whether the problems plaguing the team are predominantly the goaltending or the defense won’t go down as one of history’s great debates, but as the team scuffles along, the debate has gotten louder and louder, and the fans more and more divided, and many wonder whether there is a black and white answer. So are you team “it’s the goaltending” team, “it’s the defense,” or team “both?”
There can be no doubt that the Panthers have had bad goaltending this year. In terms of team GSAA, only one team is worse than Florida at this writing, and that’s New Jersey, who just fired their coach.
