If they'd have had their #1 Dman the past 20 games, they'd still be a comfortable bubble team that might even be at the other end of the playoff race. - MaximumBone

I doubt Klefbom would make the entire team play like they gave a poop.

I mean, small sample sizes and whatnot but they're 6-12-2 since he went down (8-2-1 with him & Hitch), down ~7% in shot share (43.8 to 50.9 FF%), scoring only slightly more (3.00 GF/g without, 2.82 GF/g with), getting scored on obscenely more (3.85 GA/g without, 2.27 GA/g with) and are drawing fewer penalties per game (2.4 without, 2.9 with).
Further, the before his injury numbers are certainly skewed by the hot streak but it stands to reason that the drop-off in results has something to do with Klefbom as that's also when the drop-off in play happened. I won't suggest that they've been doing the best they could in his absence, but the impact one Dman can have on a team is substantial if it pushes players out of their depths back into roles of comfort.
For some context, if we assume Klefbom and Larsson's numbers together from the year would've continued, I reckon there'd be a substantial difference in goals against since then.

I crunched the numbers.
In 509 minutes together, the AdamBom pairing had 16 GF and 17 GA.
In 233 minutes together, Larsson and Nurse had 10 GF and 16 GA. Assuming their results stayed the same, the AdamBom pairing would've been of for 7(.3) GF and 7(.8) GA for a difference of 3 goals.
In 132 minutes together, Larsson and Jones has 5 GF and 11 GA. Assuming their results stayed the same, the AdamBom pairing would've been of for 4(.1) GF and 4(.4) GA for a difference of 6 goals.
A total of 9 goals difference between the prior level of play of the AdamBom pairing Vs what the team got- and this is only factoring the impact on one pairing.
Koskenin starts and Cave is out and Malone takes his place....everything else remains the same as per Hitch for today’s game......on a positive note the Condors have won ten straight games with thier win yesterday
