They block a shitload of shots too.

Definitely better defensively at that than we are.

Ya but we are built to keep it outside. Less body blocks needed. Boston is laying out all out there, and in seven games(potentially) that’s gonna account for a lot.

Raanta playing lights out. This is the type of game that goes well for the canes. Grind it till they wear down. Boston shot their load early then you could see that canes style of play started to take over. Outside of poor officiating, I like what I’m seeing. 

Delete the first part! No jinxes lol.

He is playing very well but he did let one through that had to be tossed by a defensemen and also nearly let another through his arm. Not hating on him, I don’t think the rook could have done any better so far, just tempering expectations.

You show up for the playoffs every year to be dramatic... He was a Predator last season dude, he's always a prick and you realize VGK traded him to the Hurricanes?

Nah. Don’t be dissing Zach. Keep it civil. This isn’t the main forum.

Canes out hitting them 24-16 It'd clear we want to show them we won't be bullied or intimidated like years past.

I’m fine with that but eventually you have to play the puck, there’s been a few times that we’ve laid a hit on the forecheck instead of making a play on the puck.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
