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.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
