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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
