Not surprising at all, there’s no way we aren’t starting the vet. My main concern is/was if he’s healthy enough to do it. I don’t want to see him come out injured again after the first period. If I was picking I’d start the rook games one and two and let Raanta handle the road games.

He also wasn't good down the stretch. Raanta wasn't. Also, it's his first ever Playoff start. Again. Not a fan.

Welp... well we better have our classic third period storm because with this being Raantas first playoff game combined with his tendency to spot teams 2-3 goal leads in the first period..  

You aren't lying. 3GR. 3 goal Raanta.

Look at the this way. Ranta plays like ass tonight, we will prob get Pyotr until Anderson is ready.  However, if raanta balls out, it’s a win. Let’s hope we get the Raanta from when we played Colorado earlier in the year. 
 

Let’s rally behind Raanta like the team will and hope for the best.

We agree for once... He usually has a horrible first period 2-3 goals allowed is shutdown in the second and early third and gives up a gimme late when we chased the entire game and took a two goal lead in the third.

Yeah. I don't even want to talk about it. This is just not a smart move. Pyotr has a ton of confidence right now, and you go with Raanta? Seems a little dumbfounding to say the least.

If he plays like ass tonight, we lose game 1. That's not a positive from any perspective, and him playing like ass could swing any momentum in this series. This is a huge gamble on Rods part. Especially with how well Pyotr played vs the Rangers (sans those two weird late goals). 

No point in any fan rallying behind him, we don't play for the team. I want a W, and I'll root for him to not be trash in the 1st period tonight. But if he is, I won't be shocked.

Don’t like either option to be honest so it is what it is. If the guys in front play to their top level then we win this game.

Rants was poor down the stretch but so were the guys in front of him. 
 

lets fuging go!

I like Pyotr better at this point. He's a Rookie with a ton of confidence. Better than whatever Raanta has been recently.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
