20-4-2: In his last 28 regular-season games with the Canes, James Reimer has posted a 20-4-2 record with a 2.71 goals-against average, .911 save percentage and three shutouts.

He's also...

8-2-0 this season with 3.08 goals against and a .896 save percentage. 0 shutouts.

Actually has a better win percentage than in their time frame. But, everything else looks worse. Everybody hates on Ned despite Optimus having worse numbers.

Statistically ya, if his sample size was 10 games instead of 4 though I think the stats would look a lot different.

Are they ever gonna call a high stick on Tampa Bay?

Said it after game 2, Tampa is treating this like a playoff series. They are playing like they know the refs have already swallowed their whistles. In a war of attrition the more physical team wins in the end.

Reimers numbers look virtually identical through his first 4 starts...

3-1-0

3.25 gaa

.899 sv%

Ned's first 4 for comparison...

2-2-0

2.00 gaa

.922 sv%

Reimer looks more comfortable out there. But, he should, he's a 10 year vet.

Ned looks nervous or unsure at times and that scares a lot of fans. In the playoffs, that can bleed into your teammates as well.

I think he will settle down eventually. But, his numbers shows he belongs in the big leagues.

I actually don't think I can recall Ned really looking nervous. He seems to be one of those perpetually calm guys. The scariest part about him is he is pretty confident in his puck handling and he does take some more chances that none of our other goalies would.

      Wild Card QB Performance Rankings

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      QBR is the worst one because it hides behind the cloak of being "proprietary."  ESPN does not publish what the actual basis of QBR is. There is no way for other analytics guys to even critique the math/methodology involved because no one outside ESPN knows what it is.

      Evero HC requests!

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Don't underestimate how a bad hire can flip that on it's head. IMO, this was a mutual parting of ways because he likely would have been canned otherwise. Also, I am willing to bet his media job lasts until a good HC opportunity presents itself.

      Consensus view on Evero summed up in 1:00

      I doubt they cut him or injury settlement or anything, he wil get  his IR stint I assume. That 5th year option money is fat too. He won’t walk away broke if he has to retire.  And we have the 12 month window if it goes like that.    I think best case is we find a talented LOT to replace him, maybe he is good enough after healing to slide over to ROT and we can save on the Moton deal for 2027.  Moton is on tap for 28.4 million, and change, for 2027 and he he getting close to the end, I think. Kind of thinking if we do 2026 with him it would be time to move on afterwards.  It is high finance.    PS between WR, OT and QB salaries you can spend all your money. If you can draft we’ll I would think you can play the musical chairs game with the rookie contracts and not have all three as expensive vets at the same time. Somehow.
