We also have a shooting problem. Out shooting below average teams by 20+ and losing is question that needs to be explored. We also need a goon to fug people up and set the tone. 

We are fine.  All that's happened is the team has taken a collective breath after the winning streak.  I knew a small losing streak was coming.  It sucks we won't be at the top of THG's power rankings, but I trust Rod and he is going to get us back on track quickly.

These are the games we need to just win.  Columbus is a team we should beat, not lose to.

We've done this the last couple of seasons, lose to teams we should beat.  It's fine ever so often, but we have consistently lost to teams we should beat.  It costs us in the standings and even more I think it shows our guys think they can cruise through games sometimes and they've done that in the playoffs too.  These guys are professionals, every game should matter...I don't expect perfection, but I think most fans expect full out effort and the team doesn't always show it.

We do have an issue in goal, no other way to slice it.  It's the biggest thing that will keep this team from winning a Cup.  Koochie is going to be good, but he still isn't there.  Rantaa has never been the answer and Freddie is fine china.

This.

18 shots on goal from Columbus in a 4-3 SOL.

25 shots on goal from Nashville in a 5-3 loss.

31 shots on goal from NY in a 5-3 loss.

There is a total lack of consistency in net. Kochetkov goes from shutout to giving up 4 goals on 30 shots in NY, including a couple easy ones.

Raanta is the same, except his consistency is what costs the Canes wins. He will consistently allow the leakers, the softies, to the tune of 1 or 2 a game.

Even last night, either just before the end of the game or at the break between the OT and shootout, Tripp made the comment, "At some point, you have to make a save." He might have said, "...expect a save," I don't remember exactly, but the context is the same and it struck a chord with me. Vasilevsky isn't great every night, he has off nights just like any player, but he's consistent in between those off nights.

There's something that differentiates between good goalies and outstanding goalies. Perhaps it's that consistency, but the Carolina stable of goalies are all in the "good" category, and "good" isn't getting you a Cup.

A good one will as long as you stay out of the penalty box and convert on powerplays which we have continued trouble with anyway

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Canales talks exactly like narcissists talk because they can’t understand how their actions impact other people negatively. They’re describing what they should be feeling or thinking instead of saying it.  if you’ve ever dated one you know exactly what I mean and it’s off putting if you’ve gone through it.  im sure his apology to Izzy sounded like “I never thought you’d be so upset by me masturbating with Brad Idzik during a film session. Again. I thought we had moved past that. In the future, you need to make your displeasure more clear.”

      I like Chuba as a person. However when we signed him to that extension I said it was a risk because he had his best statistical season while we have invested over the last 2 seasons what is now a league leading amount of money in the offensive line and it's only going to increase with us needing to sign our left tackle to an upcoming extension. We cannot afford all this. Our defense is already amongst one of the lowest invested groups in the league and we expect them to shoulder the burden. As far as Chuba over Rico let's just call it what it is. Our franchise making decisions based on what we've invested in a player instead of doing what's best for the team. We've already been doing this with Bryce Young and we again have one of the league's worst QB rooms. It cannot continue. How many blowout losses can we witness before things like this finally click? Either we begin operating like a serious franchise or we will look up and reach the milestone of being a cellar dweller for 10 consecutive years.

      Do we need to pass around the hat?!?!?

      They need to be dug up and made into a fan handbook. I'm almost positive there is a gameday monolog for every team in the league. Man I miss old SCP. He was a poet and didn't know it.
