Nobody's trying to find something to bitch about, nobody is bitching about a win.
The fact is Goober goes into a defensive shell when he takes the lead in the 3rd, or enters the 3rd with the lead. And it has failed several times, the Sabres have blown several leads this year. The team is 28th in the league in scoring, but they're even worse, at this point, in protecting a lead. They're better off trying to add to the lead especially when the opposition opens up their game.
When your team has blown several leads throughout the year, and is outshot 22-0 when you go into a defensive shell, it's a legitimate observation to say that it might not be a functional strategy until the team improves.
