The Penguins having bad goaltending and a lot of passengers are not breaking news. I feel like one of the more less talked about flaws with this team is how often they give up a goal right after scoring, right before a period ends, or as soon as a new one starts.

.. which has a lot to do with goaltending. Most teams will give pushback.. Especially ones desperately fighting for their playoffs. Goalie gives up a sh!t goal that let's opposing teams believe in themselves and their chances. It can't be quantified, the impact bad goaltending has on a team, but it's something on the players minds that shouldn't be there and it effects them. It can be demoralizing. Players over think and do things a bit different when they don't have confidence in their goaltending. Players play at their best when they aren't thinking about what they or their teamates are doing a lot. When they are going with the flow. This is all very hard when you don't have goalie confidence.
It's also worth mentioning the Pens are one of the best come from behind to win teams this season.
