Kähkönen has played 1 game this year and the team didn't show up in front of him. The same thing happened last year to tank his season. 1 Col, 1 STL, and the last game of the season were all brutal games for the team as a whole. Saying Kähkönen was bad down the stretch completely ignores how bad Talbot was in the same timeframe.
Talbot: 2-2-2, .857%
Kähkönen: 4-1-0, .872%
The team overall hasn't been very good. It's only a couple bounces away from being 1-2-2. The d-corps is a big downgrade without Suter, Soucy, and Cole so far this year. They are riding Brodin/Dumba 5v5 and on the PK. MN needs the Goli/Spurgeon to be better. Baby steps for them would to at least be better than Kulikov/Merrill 5v5 and the PK. Kaprizov needs to start putting the puck in the back of the net.
