I honestly never want to see raanta again we win in spite of him not because of him...

 

Koochies win/loss record is skewed because he took 2 losses replacing raanta and 1 replacing freddie.

That shouldn’t be the case since goalie win/loss is based on the goalies on the ice when the winning goal is scored.

Personal opinion but I think there’s a combination of things going on.

Bad goalie play, guys playing for contracts rather than the team, and our opponents finally understanding how to properly defend us.

All three issues need to be addressed in order for us to be successful.

It’s obvious that a trade for a goalie is a must. Secondly, the guys that aren’t buying in need to be shipped out, get guys in here that want to win a cup. Finally, more transition, less forecheck. If you can’t score in transition in this league then you are fuged. Teams know that all we do is get pucks in deep, cycle the puck, and then get shots blocked from the point. Defenses don’t even bother chasing anymore, they stay home and keep everything to the outside. Our offense needs more variety.

But we need all three things to happen to be successful.

Waddell simply screwed up, EVERYONE knew we needed an upgrade in goal and at his best Freddy is a quality backup, Raanta is toast and Koch is AHL caliber only.

We also needed a sniper - so we add a 20 goal scorer to a few 30 goal guys if they have a good year.

I'm sick of seeing missed and blocked shots from this group - Donny better get busy or we are going 1 and done again.

In all seriousness though. Goal scoring isn’t the issue. Timely goal scoring is. We are 11th currently which is a huge bump for us. The issue is we are giving up more than we are getting. Even if you take off the TB and the Edmonton game.

We may be going to sign up for tee times in early March actually......

Pesce has the flu/covid.

Svech's ribs/sternum and shoulder are all being looked at due to ongoing pain.  (Not great to hear)

After the MRI, the team stated that Svech will be out for an external period of time. Think at least a month or longer.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
