The Panthers are beginning to look more and more like Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys......

This. 18 shots on goal from Columbus in a 4-3 SOL. 25 shots on goal from Nashville in a 5-3 loss. 31 shots on goal from NY in a 5-3 loss. There is a total lack of consistency in net. Kochetkov goes from shutout to giving up 4 goals on 30 shots in NY, including a couple easy ones. Raanta is the same, except his consistency is what costs the Canes wins. He will consistently allow the leakers, the softies, to the tune of 1 or 2 a game. Even last night, either just before the end of the game or at the break between the OT and shootout, Tripp made the comment, "At some point, you have to make a save." He might have said, "...expect a save," I don't remember exactly, but the context is the same and it struck a chord with me. Vasilevsky isn't great every night, he has off nights just like any player, but he's consistent in between those off nights. There's something that differentiates between good goalies and outstanding goalies. Perhaps it's that consistency, but the Carolina stable of goalies are all in the "good" category, and "good" isn't getting you a Cup.

NJ won in OT earlier, was a 3 point lead before the Canes loss, I believe. I could be wrong.

And just like that, an 8-point lead in the division is down to 2.

Excellent to garbage in less than a week.

Go challenge the fugging shooter!

That's game.

Fug Raanta. C'mon.

41 SOG v 18 SOG. Tie game going to OT. And that last PP? WTF?

Bingo. He needs a reboot somewhere else.

This needs to end in regulation. I have no faith in Raanta in OT or a SO.

Raanta should have taken his mask off and given it to Marchenko.

There were fewer hats on the ice than the BJs have shots on goal.

I'd take on part of his salary for a couple prospects and bring up Drury. And just like that Raanta gaks another.

He's costing this team $5.4M thru next season.

That means there are 20 other teams who are in play...

Mad Max with another!

I'm all for putting Turbo on the market.

2 games in a row Pesce & Skjei team up for one!

How the fug do the refs both miss that call and not look at it? How does Toronto not call that one off?

Canes don't get one back this period, their done. -7 goal differential in the 3rd period this year.

Raanta and his usual weak goal allowed.

And Svech with another penalty just a minute or 2 after his last. 2-0 .

Canes are gonna screw around and lose their 3rd in a row.
