Raanta is starting tonite. I'm hoping he steps up big time knowing this is his opportunity to shine as the season comes to a close.

Pyotr will probably start either the Saturday game again st the Devils or the Sunday game against the Islanders because of the back-to-back. Raanta will then start against the Rangers and probably Pyotr the last game of the season at home against the Devils, depending on what the standings and playoff seedings look like. 

If, for some reason, the NY Rangers don't run away with the Metro and both the division and a higher seed are at stake the last game of the season, then Raanta will start.

In the meantime, Carolina needs to put up 4 goals a game to win, because they've had a serious defensive lapse here lately.

You sound pretty confident. LOL.

I don't need confidence- the team does, though. And the only way to get that back is to play well and win some games. Even if they lose and play well, the confidence is boosted, although not as much.

The ultimate goal is the Cup, and the playoffs are more important than the next 6 games, but the next 6 games are the confidence builders.

Yeah, but it wouldn't surprise me if this team just turned it on when the Playoffs hit and somehow made a run no one saw coming. Hockey is just different from other sports in regards to that. 

Teams can play like pure ass down the stretch in the NHL. The Playoffs come, and make it to the Cup. Hockey, sometimes makes no sense.

Wish they’d start Pyotr tonight instead of Raanta. Arizona is still poo and it’s be great to get him going strong. 

Maybe they're giving him a "break" because he played Saturday? Yeah. I got nothing. 

 

Raanta sucks so bad right now. This game could be another disaster in the making.

I figure it’s cause we haven’t practiced with him at all and I don’t think he’s already done any work with our coaches. I think throwing him into the fire would help our defense though.

Mexican pizza back at at Taco Bell.. guess I’ll pour a Baja Blast out for Tripp Tracy tonight… #StartPyotrTheGreat

We were taking the elevator up to the restaurant before the Detroit game and Tripp got on with us. I had to give him kudos for the U2 reference he made about "desire" during the Ranger game.

But seriously, how does a guy who looks to be all of about 5'4" play goalie?

Hahaha Tripp is hilarious. Miss him and John together, they were the best combo in the business.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I'm just tired of ppl saying he's so accurate and then have to see recievers slow down to recieve the ball, ruining any chance at YAC

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      Some people will really look at stuff like this and say "no more excuses" but then make excuses to try and explain away the validity of big-time throws. 🙃   Back on topic though, as I mentioned in the other AT thread earlier, I hope that the team is still exploring the deal. If the Vikings want the Panthers to take on some of the salary, then it had better be at worst a 4th-round pick (though I imagine Dan angling for a 3rd). If they're willing to take on all of it, then maybe at worst a 5th. Tough pill to swallow, giving up a 4th for a 35yr old WR, but if MIN believes they can have similar success behind McCarthy then it could be a smart deal for them. Hell, if AT has any gas in the tank and gives them a 1yr sweetheart deal to close out at home, even better for Minnesota. Yea, Bryce loses his best and most reliable WR. Hunter Renfrow though isn't what I would call a huge step down though (if he's as advertised throughout camp), and it gives more reps to TMac + XL + Coker. This season is all about continued development and answering some of the looming questions (Is Bryce the guy? Is Evero the DC going fwd? How do the young WRs develop? How long does it take this defense to bounce back from being historically awful?).

      Panthers possibly trading Thielen?

      By Byrdman4real · Posted

      The trade might go down today or tomorrow then, if it happens.
