You just tune into the highlights don't you Snake? 96 points I guarentee you we could loose all 15 of our remaining games and still be a playoff team.... 

Negative, I watch the games. That's not what I'm saying. What I am saying is if we keep playing like this it's one and done.

Eh, chuck got kicked off his alt so he had to go back to his main. 

Youngster I am not chuck, have been here longer than chuck and you as well. This is the same thing we did last year. Strong season and got sloppy at the end. We need to clean things up a bit.

TB has a very good PP and Raanta just isn't that good on the kill. I'd be willing to bet his kill save percentage is a lot lower than Freddie's.

Last night was a pretty good night, all things considered. Back-to-back after a long trip from Washington. 3 games in 4 days against quality opponents. 3 goals on the Vaseline Man and the refs gifted TB 2 penalties that resulted in PP goals. TB can't score 5-on-5 against the Canes.

Heading into the final month with 7 road games and 7 home games and the home schedule isn't that difficult. A 20-point month out of a possible 28 isn't a reach. But, with a 5 point lead over the Rangers and the Canes have to play them twice in NY- they need a split and take care of business elsewhere.

3 PP goals allowed for the number 1 PP defense in the NHL? Woof. 

 

I'm not a big Raanta fan anyway. He's had a solid season, but I almost want to see the young guy get his turn. 

If I’m not mistaken, they did that to us in the playoffs last year. They only scored on power play goals.

We smoked the piss outta The blues and capitals. We will be fine. 

Yeah but there's a big difference between those teams and legit teams like Tampa. We got to find a way to win when we don't have an elite Goalie playing that way.

Last night the PP kill looks tired and off.  Raanta played well. We had guys waaay out of position in front of the net on these kills. That’s why we lost. You take away all three goals on the power-play we would have won 3-1

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
