wtf fug is Freddie's deal man?

best goalie in the league for a good portion of the season to straight ass for the last few weeks? and no real injuries that we know of to explain it...

maybe he's just coming back down to earth from career best numbers to the same player he always was.

I think he’s just tired and treating this as practice.

The Canes picked the worst time of the season to get streaky. Going into the final month of the season with 14 games on the schedule, 7 home and 7 away, they could and should have every expectation of getting 18-20 points out of a possible 28.

Good teams win the games they're supposed to win, and losing to Buffalo following a very mundane effort against Minnesota is not how a good team operates.

Where were the two top lines last night? All we saw or heard from was the Staal line and some of the Martinook line. Anderson was playing his position like he was wearing concrete skates. None of the first 3 goals were screened, deflected or otherwise, it was him and a shooter with nothing in between. 

I hope RBA starts Raanta tomorrow against Buffalo, again Sunday against the Ducks and then the Red Wings. Let Freddie have the Islanders and Rangers. Then I'd probably start whichever looked better in those against Colorado next Saturday.

There's little doubt they need the next 3 straight before facing the Rangers, which I hope they can at least split as they face them again in NY on the 26th.

That sounds like a tall order at the moment. For whatever reason it seems this team always fades in the final month and in the playoffs. We were lucky last year to get to the second round. This year very well may be the same if we don't change.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
