VIDEO: Not so Fasth - Oilers backup loses it on teammates after being pulled

Perry Nelson / USA TODAY Sports

The Edmonton Oilers have received the second-worst goaltending in the league this season at even strength.

Based on backup Viktor Fasth's explosive reaction to being pulled Friday night, it seems like the club's goaltenders believe that their inability to stop pucks at an acceptable rate might have something to do with the club's permissive defensive play.

Fasth has a quick temper: 

Oilers coach Dallas Eakins' bowed head at the tail end of that video sort of says it all.

Fasth, 32, has amassed a 2-8-2 record in 13 appearances this season, while posting a woeful .891 save percentage. With results like that, perhaps it's understandable that Fasth is getting so frustrated.
