3/13 Canes @ Pittsburgh 1PM Puck Drop

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.

    • I love this draft because they picked the right OL.  It is possible that we have 2 rookies starting on the OL.  I would take Utah's Lomu as well, but for those who think you find the OL in free agency and not the draft, here is all I have to say:  We cannot give $110m to the 5 starting OL.  We need an infusion of youth on the OL as well.  If Ickey returns and can play, I imagine that he takes over for Hunt at RG--in 2027 or so.  Currently, our 2 guards and right tackle make up over 20% of the total cap.  We have to add 2 starters, but if Cade Mays was too pricey at around (anticipated) $8m, then we plan to draft a C, it seems. I think we draft an OT and C now because we will need a G or 2 and a RT soon.  While they were good in 2026, they were not elite.  For that kind of $$, we need elite.  Is starting a rookie LT and C ideal?  Nope.  But if we can get better than Nijman and Mays, we should be OK. I think we will pick up an ILB in free agency and add an ILB.  Who we draft (Mike or Will) will depend on who we sign.  Rodriguez is a favorite of mine, but if Golday is there, Morgan is going to take him.  Morgan will love him. I do not think we need to overpopulate the edge position right now because we have 1 edge returning from injury (Jones II), one rookie from last year ready to step up and could be really good (Scourton), and another who could be ready to step into the situational pass rusher role (Princely).  2 hold the edge very well and if we had a situational pass rusher to join Princely, we could be much better. I think rookies at Edge tend to jump considerably from their rookie seasons to years 2 and 3.  (Charles Johnson, Mike Rucker, and Greg Hardy were that way-and all became very good in time. Safety seems omitted, but we shall see.  That could be another free agent acquisition.
    • Id like Evans from Duke in the draft as a shooter for the second unit. And probably a more athletic big to replace all, he's good but doesn't really fit the style. White, Evans, green, Williams and center tbd is a pretty good second unit
