Such a great win, really encouraging play from this team of late. Koochie finally playing well and Aho and Svech just dominating. Team D also seems to have figured it out after being uncharacteristically awful earlier in the season.

I’ve been screaming  it from the mountain top. It’s truly amazing what good goalie play does for a team. Keeps moral high and opens up the team flow.

Raanta will more than likely get the Blues Saturday night at home in Raleigh. With the back-to-back coming from Washington; I think this is where he is the remainder of the season unless there's a string of games and RBA just needs to give K a night off.

That being said, I throughly believe his improvement stems from consistent play. The back and forth from Chicago, playing a spot here or there and not having any consistency in his job hurt him more than helped.

Raanta has been very very bad all season, he's mentally a mess I think with Freddie's return possible in the next few weeks I'd ride Kochetkov he's young he can handle a b2b.... even on a b2b he's a better option than Raanta IMO playing Raanta is pretty much conceding that you have to score 5+ and even then it's a coin toss if we get the W.

Sorry, I was talking about Kochetkov's improvement being the result of consistent playing time.

I think our goalie situation is what it is unless Freddie comes back. Barring a TDL move that would require Carolina giving up a major player just for a #2 goalie, I'm afraid that what we see is what we get in net the remainder of the year.

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
