Man I hope Raanta can stand in his head again. But than the rook gets the road games and Freddie will hopefully be back by than. 

We don't have to win a road game to take the series, (obviously not ideal) I honestly don't think the Bruins will have more shot attempts then we do again this series IMO that was a side effect of the Hurricanes desire to show the Bruins they won't shy away from physicality and we could beat them playing their style if needed. 

 

Aho being unself and giving the empty netter to Svech was a show of appreciation from the entire team, I believe the game plan called for Svech to be a bully... That said even Aho got in on it I've seen every game of his career and that was the hardest hit I've ever seen deliver.

I’ll have to disagree with you. I think they’ll be about par for the course of last night. We don’t let a lot through up the middle or in screens when we are on our game but we do let a poo ton through from the sides. I think about 35 over/under is what we are looking at from Boston through this series.
 

The rest I absolutely agree on which is also a symptom of the above. I hope old boy can hold out cause I thought he was done for after 2 1/2 last night. But if svech can keep that forecheck up, holy fugging witches tits. Aho will find his goals but he is so damn good in the neutral zone I don’t even care. Aho if you just watch him(I told my lady to early when I took her to PNC this spring) he is a master class on hockey and probably the only person better than Fast in the neutral zone on our team. The dude is peak finesse but I digress.

Aho Is all finesse, he's tough though, Scech is a man on fire I have full belief that he will he's a true power forward. 

I also agree that Raanta was gassed after 2.5, it's a running issue with smaller goalies (especially if they are over 30) to cover as much of the net they have to expend more energy.... His play last night almost leads me to think that his slow starts early in games during the regular season came as a direct result of him conserving energy.... (He almost always started slow with his movement and play improving later in games)

 

I digress if he can keep it up to steal this in four or five games without needing to rush Freddie would be ideal, (Freddie's injury agaist Colorado was an aggravation to somthing he received right after the break IMO).

Ya exactly. I love this rook and he’s gonna be our goalie for years to come but I don’t know if he’s NHL playoff material yet. If Raanta can get us through this one and if Freddie can make a return to early season performance I’ll be happy, and you know what. If we have to go to the rook I don’t think he’ll disappoint either but I don’t want the front 5 to have to work that much harder at this point. You could see they we’re just finding their playoff legs last night. It’s gonna be a long road to go, through some very tough oppentents.

Kochetkov is a future star IMO he's freakishly talented, When he learns a bit more English and effectively communicate.... The language barrier is probably his biggest flaw atm you could see he didn't know what to expect from his teammates in regards to their positioning and play style.... I'd wager on him long term being a top five goalie right now that barrier would give me pause.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Wow I can’t believe the panthers tried to trade up, failed, but still got the guy they wanted to trade up for. I wonder if anyone else has ever said that next you’ll tell me they had Hunter and Brazzell graded as first rounders.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option is a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The pattern it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.  Probably should have been drafted day three anyway. The other was way over drafted.

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.
