He’s played pretty well IMO. Lazy passes and canes out of position has led to the majority of goals this series.

TBH, I haven't witnessed a single one, in watching the majority of the games, but somehow always miss seeing the Preds' actual goals lol.  But, when I've watched, he still looks so shaky, although I do see our guys out of position and/or mishandling the puck.  And I thought I saw him and Mzarek both had a .92 save percentage, so I was curious why we had opted with Nedeljkovic.  I heard going into the playoffs that all 3 guys had played well and Rod said it was a good problem to have, but I didn't like that lol.

He's the guy who led the NHL in save % and Goals allowed a game, Goals are on more than the goalie.

Wow, I had no idea he did all of that...  makes sense then lol.  I just felt he looked shaky at times so far.  Seemed to mishandled the puck and such, and Saros has made some incredible saves and faced a ton of pressure from our attack...  but, as lightsout stated, it's also Ned's first playoffs, so I can see there being some jitters.

And I know the defense and positioning plays a huge role in goaltending, but admiittedly, I hadn't seen the actual goals they've scored for whatever reason...  not even the replays.  I either was driving or switched to the NBA games and missed them, but I've literally watched like every minute of the last 3 games minus their goals.😂

Mrazek had a ridiculous .98 save percentage the first six games he played this season before injury, He wasn't great when he came back and only played like 9 games all season, NED'S puck handling is usually superb and I suspect the ice conditions are contributing tonight to a few of his mishandles. He Adds a TON to the offense with ability to play the puck.

There's a weird stat called expected saves, meaning would-be goals that the goalie is usually saving basically. Mrazek was 9. Ned was 14. Reimer was in the negative. Lol.

 

They're all good goalies, Rod stuck with the hot hand in Ned. Mrazek has the experience but he's not as explosive after the injuries.

 

Here's a good playoff stats run down on goalies, just to put it in perspective.

Goalie isn't something that's easy to look at and know exactly what a good goal and what a soft goal is for most casual fans (took me watching since 2005 and playing goalie in NHL15-20 to really grasp it, honestly). Ned is playing very well. Could be better, but he's 25 and this experience is either going to make him become a league great or he'll wilt.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
