we should just play the rest of the series on the PK. we seem to play better that way.

 

I hadn't pointed it out yet because of the love Raanta has been getting but I think our Skaters have more faith in Anderson than they do Raanta (they seem to have to cover for a lot more for him) and it's adversely affected our offense and PP as well.

When will the NHL ban kadri for being a dirty prick...

Between Kadri taking Binnington out and Lucic going after Smith- that's what they both had to do to try and win. The Blues could have stretched Colorado to 7 and made this a series with Binnington in net. Now they have no shot.

Edmonton will probably rally around the Smith hit and just take it to the Flames. Of course, there's just 1 guy doing it all for the Oilers. That's the guy they should have targeted, not the goalie.

It most definitely has. Raanta has been playing well but you can't teach genetics and Anderson is just a massive force at the net like Igor.

Rule #1 should be "You take my goalie out, I take yours".

      They also didn't mind it last year during four nations, or when they beat the fins lol. Sour grapes, they had 3 pf the top four players in the world on the ice when we beat them.

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      The tag for '26 is 28M. No way they tag him.  He is projected to be worth around 60M for 3 years so they could still try to sign him on an extension for about that amount: JagsWire   As someone else mentioned, the tag average factors in outside linebackers, aka, edge rushers, in the line backer formula.  If they would distinguish between olb and ilb, the ilb would get a lot less.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      He didn't actually make the playoffs. We had several opportunities to clinch on our own and crapped the bed. We had to wait for Atlanta to win to get us in. We had the tie breaker in a poo division that had 3 teams finish 8-9.  If you go back and look at the games we played, we weren't a dominant offensive team under him as an OC. We beat the Jets 13-7 and barely beat the packers after they failed to convert multiple red zone trips. We relied heavily on converting 4th downs. DC was also extremely slow at recognizing trends in game and was really lacking with clock management.  Was there progress this year? Yes. But most of it was on the defensive side of the ball. Our offense was stagnant with a couple of exceptions. Any improvement from Bryce was minimal and he kept insisting on XL over Coker, and even RB distribution instead of going with the hot hand.  He may be building something, but I don't think we've seen enough to know what that is. It could go either direction. If he insists on being OC, then without a noticeable improvement, yes he needs to be on the hot seat like any OC would. The more jobs you take on the more you have to be judged on. I think he would have a longer leash if he hired a true OC and just focused in being HC.
