That being said, I don't know the timetable for Petr's return.

Nobody does, yet. Hopefully we'll have some idea soon.

If Mrazek can make a late season return, I still think we can ride Reimer/Ned into playoff position. With a fresh healthy Petr in net in the postseason, I don't really care what seed we are.

If he's done for the year, we are gonna have to do some shopping.

Again, I am not trying to knock on Reimer here (or even Ned - who I don't think is truly ready), but we can't put all our fortune on Reims and Ned if we are truly going for the Cup.

That being said, I don't know the timetable for Petr's return.

I'd so trade Turbo for a legit goalie. Reims has played well for the most part...but we're at that point where Mrazek's injury is gonna catch up.

There is a reason that Ned cleared waivers.

Fair enough. But, Reimer is currently 4-1 on the season.

Nah I like Reims. He cant win every game and I think he was put in bad positions all game.  I just dont think he is enough and now we've seen two years in a row where injuries at the goalie position are costing us.

That game wore me out. It’s frustrating to lose to the Red Wings and then the Blackhawks. Reimer didn’t get much help tonight but this is the game I think Ned should have played in. The Canes schedule coming up:

Blue Jackets x2

Star x2

Blue Jackets

Panthers

I really don’t understand why RBA didn’t give Reimer a break. Now you’re looking at Ned’s first game coming against the top tier of the Central. It would have made more sense to start Ned tonight and let him, maybe, battle it out against the rebuilding/retooling Blackhawks. But I guess I have to hope there’s a plan.

I think they would have score 8 on Ned.  I know Reim gave up 6 but I dont think this game is on him.

I have a couple of thoughts on Turbo:

  • I think he is definitely rusty coming off being sick and will eventually get back on track.
  • He won't be traded because he is a good player on a terrific contract.
  • Ultimately, he may be shifted to a different line to get his "groove" bac

If we do trade for a goalie I expect a D-man and pick(s) would be traded.

The only issue I have with Petr coming back in the postseason is rust, it could be costly.

Maybe he'll be able to get back before then and get some games under his belt before the postseason.  He was off to a great start.

All that being said, our defense is better than they played the last couple of games.  I am sure RBA will let them know about it.

I think Turbo's contract is why a team would trade a decent goalie for him. Wish we would have went after Lehner back when he was an FA.  

I do think reshuffling Turbo is a good idea. I wouod definitely take him off the pp.

Not a Dman Id be willing to trade. At

I believe we did go after Lehner but he wanted more $$$$ than we were willing to pay!

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
