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.

    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
    • This thread is dumb. But I do think canales gets too cute with play calling and I don't think he's a good coach
