why does it feel like goalie is a constant issue for this team for the past 5 years? Is it this difficult to develop or at least sign an average one in free agency?
Combination of bad luck (Crawford retiring, Bernier throwing out his hip), bad coaching (overworking Blackwood), & bad management. I'd argue it started with Lou betting it all on Schneider, who stunk after his injury in 2016 but still received chance after chance for the next 3 years.
