Called it. Should not have pulled the goalie with the third line on the ice. That was some dumb poo. Not that I think less of our players. But the third line is not conducive to pulling the goalie. Should have been the first line.

Would not have pulled Raanta the first time, let alone after. I think they had a better chance at tying 5 on 5.

Not with the third line out, they always play deep. There is just too much Margin for error there. I would have waited a minute until we could have gotten TT and Aho on the ice. That one was on Rod. At least he owns his losses.

Let’s be real though guys, the league fuged us today. 20 hours between games?  Get rested  and beat the poo out of the leafs on Thursday. 

Yes sir. The Pens don't play until tomorrow (Tuesday night). There's no reason the Canes needed to be scheduled to start a game 20 hours from the time they left the ice. They could have easily scheduled the game for last night and pushed it out to 28 hours or so.

Don't blame the Canes, nor Raanta for that L. Hard to beat a team 3 times in a row in the Playoffs, much less in the Regular Season. Plus, the short layoff damn sure didn't help.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
