We have a goalie issue

Kochetkov flashed instinct and ran on adrenaline when we saw him at his best. But those days are gone and as the season wears into the middle portion before and after the all-star break, the reality is he is staying way inside the crease when someone is bearing down on him. He's lost his aggressive nature, lost any semblance of a poke check and is no longer playing off that instinct, instead he's getting played. He's trying to out-think the room, and the more issues he has, the more of a head case he becomes.

I would love to hear what Tripp has to say about this sudden fall from grace, because this went from very good to very bad in a very short period of time. Worst case scenario from last night's game should have been a 3-2 win.

Now RBA has to pick his poison: Raanta or Kochetkov. And, if I had my way, Freddie Anderson would be ready to play.

    • The organization was poorly put together from top to bottom and it shows. Management was in bunker mode and we had a guy as GM who could not evaluate talent either in the draft or free agency. We had just gotten away from a "culture" HC who needed to stay at a mid-majors college and replaced him with a guy who had a lot of emotional ties to the team but had just come off of a collapsing team of his own in Indianapolis. And that guy built a coaching staff, one heavily influenced by ownership, that was just not ready for the roles they were given and could not gel because they could see the collapse and were oftentimes worried about their own skin more than what the team needed. On the field, the team was just atrocious. The o-line suffered some early injuries and could not hold together because there was no depth and little coaching. Game planning seemed to make no effort to shore up the line and the rookie QB could not make adjustments, did not have the tools in his tool box yet, to offset this in even the least. Our highly recruited FA RB turned out to be a powder puff, our receivers were slow to the point of making people pine for the days of Kelvin Benjamin. We had one receiver who could actually run a rout and catch and he was double covered on almost every play. Our tight ends were just completely ineffective because of a lack of talent and using the same play concept over and over again. And our defense? Well, statistically, particular in yardage given up, looked great on paper. But it sucked, too. It just didn't suck as bad as our offense, which was historically bad. The highlight of our team last season was our Special Teams play. We had a good kicker and punter.  The saving grace of our team last season was this: The NFL had not gone to an 18-game schedule yet, meaning the faithful didn't have to sit through another week of watching that mess. Good luck to the new coach. I'd like to say there's nowhere to go but up from here, but I said that about this time last year, too. I don't want to be amazed by how wrong I was again.
    • If they can win this one I might actually believe we are gonna pull through this!
    • Let's fugging go!!!! I think just getting the PP on the board gives them confidence!
