He wasn't great but he wasnt bad, and ive said before our goalies facing 16 shots is actually to their detriment because there are LONG stretches were they arent involved in the game at all. Bottom line is you don't score 1 goal and blame the goalie for giving uo 2 this is like the year before last when everyone blamed freddie for 2-1 losses.... you dont win jack in the ecf scoring two goals. After thinking about last night's loss its kind of painfuly obvious the top half of the team are giving minimal effort right now, (with a 10 point metro lead and games in hand they would need to go like 2-14 in order to NOT finish first in the metro)

Ooof glad I didn't see that, although at this point its just him talking out his ass. The problem I have is so what if prices for trades were expensive? This team has been hoarding assents for a decade with a title window open most of are best players are now at their peak, we don't care about being a playoff team for anther eight years in a row, hell I'd take a cup and be cool with anther drout (wont happen) the only trade we made that we legitimately didn't get ROI was Guentzel, Yes you can argue we didnt get enough from the Necas/Raantanen debacle but Necas was never going to be a 90 point guy in rods system and neither was Raantanen. Guys top out at PPG because Rod divided the minutes up in such a way that our top line plays minutes that for anyone else are second line.... and our other 3 lines all play what would be #2 line minutes elsewhere.

Meant 5 but as bad as the canes have been in the finals they should have let us take the mercy rule.

Someone forgot how bad raanta actually is.... lmfoa

Lol nah more likely they make it to the ecf get beat in four games or less and the casuals call it a success

And yet you don't win many games scoring 1 goal

Dude gave up two goals not really sure you can blame the goalie tonight

They actually swept us this year this team loses in 4 in the finals again

We lick our tem derp derp derp loses at home 3-1 to the 60 point blues

Losing at home in regulation to the blues but but "we lik our teim"

"We like ur team" derp

Lmfao

Oooof

Ehhh prior to injury he was playing more like josh Allen than josh allen was.... 24 total tds pacing 3300 yards.

Prediction...... we win..... Also Prediction we make it much harder than it should be

Ehhh small sample size with Nikishin but could also just be hes running the PP now... (which has improved with him imo) Your point with Miller kinda proves though what I'm saying No chemistry the pairings have been shuffled umpteen times due to injury. Chemistry is important on the back half of the ice.

Draft..... also look at whats available scaps at T vs starters at TE

Somthing else to note is defense as a whole is DOWN across the NHL THIS SEASON, although goaltending and defense for us as canes fans seems to be horrible remarkably ours STILL ranks top 10 in both.

Although as I look at the NHL right now, I do think if they can pull their heads from their asses no Florida in the playoffs does represent the Canes best chance of winning a cup.... The Aves record is inflated by how bad the west is this year.... just realized the #9 eastern team (Columbus Blue Jackets) would currently be the #4 team in the west)

Rods the one who needs to go if they don't win a cup soon, Overall I like the way Tulsky operates, do i wish he had pivoted to several smaller moves instead of going all in on a big acquisition? Obviously. But RBA is the one I'm locked onto, he is too stuck in his ways and if if "his way" can't get somthing done he just triples down and proves his insanity by trying the same stupid crap over and over, the facebook casuals will be like but but but 8 years in a row making the playoffs.... yes we'll guess what we should have at least a cup to show for it, yes only one team wins every year but this year will be the 8th consecutive year making the playoffs.... heck none of us even get excited about that and haven't in four years minimum. Our top guys are nearing the peak of their prime the time is now, but the canes seem content to stand pat and "make the playoffs" anther 5-8 years in a row.

I think its the pairings and Rods compete inability to get chemistry out of them with 4lhd and 2rhd. Nikishin is a rookie and he makes rookie mistakes (Although ill say given hes played third pairing minutes and his offensive production hes gonna be a 20g 65+ point dman in the near future) Miller is the weakest link IMO hes completly boom or bust, he leads the team in giveaways and goals given up off of them.

I'd be thrilled with him or Njoku havent had a real TE since Olsen left

This team smh

Lol lol well they got a point.... no RBA coached team is winning the cup.....

You dont say? Defense nonexistent goalie play..... questionable would be the nice way of saying it.... but "we derp derp like our team derp"
