Agreed. Experience may have kept us from doing some things we wanted to do, but those goals were the result of three things: Failed clearing attempt (mostly by Vokoun), really, really bad pass by York, and Hamhuis getting taken down (illegally). Experience might have helped us avoid situations like that, but a lack of experience didn't directly attribute to any goals. Unfortunately, experience will be a scapegoat all season long for the media. It's our most obvious flaw and, instead of analyzing what the problem actually is, it's easier to blame the obvious and hope no one notices.
