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.

Donny wads!

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.

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.

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
