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".

    • Give me Anthony Hill Jr or give me death
    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
