[O’Connor] Torts on Ersson & the goaltending: “Everybody throws the numbers that are out there. And the numbers are bad. But we’re not even talking about these games meaning anything for us, if Erss doesn’t play the way he’s played.” cont. in comments

[“Then I throw Ivan into the situation, coming in… who knows where the hell he came from, and he has to play a game. We have Erss penciled in at maybe playing 18 to 22 games this year. Look at where he is now. So there’s no blaming.”](https://twitter.com/charlieo_conn/status/1777372733325611483)
[“Let’s face it: things got thrown into a really weird situation when we lost Carter. But having said that, we had discussions in the summer about the situation w/Carter, & figured something was gonna go on, right? We’ve got to be honest about it.”](https://twitter.com/charlieo_conn/status/1777373233286680593)
[“I made the decision I’m gonna live or die w/Erss when I played him all those games. I did not have the confidence, & it’s certainly not a criticism, it’s just my assessment of Sandy — I made the decision that we’re going with Erss.
I’ve played the hell out of him. He’s tired.”](https://twitter.com/charlieo_conn/status/1777373676540711359)
Man fuck Hart. It’s wild that we would have been a legit playoff team with round 1 spoiler potential if the goaltending didn’t fall apart without him though. Makes me so incredibly upset while being optimistic for the future at the same time. We do have what it takes but we have got to get our goalie situation sorted again. A lot of raw talent between Errs, Fed and Kolosov. Our development team can’t drop the ball on this.
If only their Power Play wasnt complete dog shit.
I’ve said it all year and I’ll say it again. Our lack of skill players/goal scorers is the team’s biggest flaw. How many games do we have 35+ shots and score 2-3 goals? Just watching other team’s play, it’s like our guys couldn’t score off a one timer to save their lives. We can endless chances and they can’t capitalize. Hence why we suck on the PP and in OT. I’m less worried about the goal tending than I am our ability to score
Next year (hell, EVERY YEAR until Michkov comes over) should be spent seeing what Errson. Fedotov, and Kolosov can do.
We lost our Franchise Goalie. He’s not ever coming back. So it’s time to spend the rest of the rebuild seeing what we have.
