Are we average?

[Panthers Fan 69]

What is going on with this team?  So much talent and we look good then bad. Good then reallly bad. Good then average. What is going on with the canes?  How do we fix this team with a cup window?  Svech isn’t even scoring.  Goalie play average.  Front office?

It's 100% just effort. Our style works, obviously. We have shown that. Our players are good. Again, this is apparent. Coaching and FO are great. The only thing that changed were some additions and a rough start to the season. 

My bet? We have some mental blocks going on and dudes are just not locked in. We are better than our play has shown. That I am certain of

Also last change and goalies…

Florida constantly had their top two lines out there against our 4th line and 3rd D pair. For some reason we weren’t getting our 1st or 2nd D pair out there with our 4th line like we normally do.

I’m very concerned about the goalie situation. Honestly, I don’t see how Freddie can come back. Maybe it’s different in the pros, but with clots he’s most likely going on blood thinners, and usually contact sports are out once that happens. Hoping I’m wrong, but my gut says this is going to be a bigger deal than we think. 
 

Rannta isn’t a no.1 and how much playing time does Kooch need to be ready. Has he hit his ceiling?  
 

The rest of the team has to give 110% and limit SOGs or we’re going to have an average record. 
 

The good news is if anyone can fix it, Rod can. Heck, he took a bunch of rookies and JAGs and Justin Williams to the ECF and we got a long way to go in this season. Hopefully we can get it together, get Pesce back in the lineup, and figure out a goalie solution.

We got a long home stretch coming up. I assume we see pytor tonight. Halak should draw in during our home stretch… I don’t know if Raanta can physically handle 68+ games as a 1 or 1A.

Tonight's game results should tell us a lot.

Walt putting it bluntly is definitely interesting.

When rod gets mad…people get hurt. I expect the canes to kick ass tonight.  

[BY9Franchise]

No not average when Raata is on the bench.
