I don't know the Canes have developed enough consistency to beat this team yet. I know, the Canes beat the Isles 4-3 in OT earlier this month after scoring 3 straight goals to tie the game. Raanta was in net that night.

Not gonna lie, I love this Isles roster. It's stacked with guys I think would play exceptionally well in RBA's system. But, those guys are getting up there in years and the Canes advantage in the transition game and speed through the neutral zone should help.

Do the Canes get to face Sorokin or Varlomov tonight? I honestly thought the Canes might pursue Varlomov on a 1 or 2 year deal and decide to let Raanta or Anderson walk.

I'm not quite there yet with the trust factor.

On top of that, is Raanta a total head case after the TB debacle so much so that he's now the #2?

I’m more of the opinion, at this point it’s Pyotr’s net to lose. He did give up “2” in Philly. TT saved his ass on one. Doesn’t mean I trust Pyotr, but it’s the best option we currently have.

We are in a tough spot. We need to play Pyotr to get him into a rhythm. But we also can’t let Raanta get cold if he is actually somewhat healthy before this Canadian swing, especially if he’s yipping. I still think he has a major injury probably inner thigh groin area. The last two times he did the splits, once vs. TB and once in his game before he was super slow to move or get up and in both games you could tell his mobility was hampered after that. The TB game his glove hand was nonexistent when it’s usually his biggest asset. 
 

If it was me I’d go Pyotr tonight, Raanta vs. Buffalo. Then every other in Canada. Starting with Raanta(hopefully off a win) so Pyotr can get a look vs. both Edmonton and Vancouver. Give us a real view at what exactly we are dealing with.

Here’s the full rundown. Seems Rod is basically set in keeping the Orlov/Chatty line solid. Orlov has definitely hit his stride over the past couple games. I think give it maybe a month more and he’s going to start turning lethal now that he’s understanding the man system defensively. Aka burns last year.

This is a nonsense the Canes have owned them for years...

      Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)

      Is it possible for someone to regress in maturity as they age or has Steve really just been a jerk his entire life?
