Yup. You give up a high volume of chances of any reasonable quality to a team like Tampa, and you're going to pay for it. Can't give guys like Stamkos clean looks, or put a nice screen on your own goalie and then play soft on the the guy in front. Andersen should've been better on the 2nd goal, but, if the D was at least reasonable, that goal doesn't happen.

Are you operating under the assumption that Polak is see-through?

I've heard it is usually effective to play defense in a manner that helps your goalie see the puck.

If you're going to screen the goalie, you might as well get behind the guy standing in front of the net.
