For the record, Raanta had an outstanding game,  stopped 21/22 for a .955 SV%, .92 GAA.

Bennington was excellent in regulation and the SO.

There isn’t a chance this game was on raanta. Dude play very well. Prob his best game. In fact, the canes played very well. I loved our game watching it live.  We I just didn’t score. I have no complaints about tonight.

Carolina is 4-5 in OT/SO this year. Neither of the goalies have been good in shootouts. 

If the Canes don't win in regulation, odds are less than 50% they'll win in OT and even lower in the SO.

Carolina on consecutive nights, left it all out there. Binnington played very well and Carolina had no puck luck around the net.

On a tough back to back to lose in a shootout and gain a point is not bad at all. Canes had a lot of pucks that almost went in but didn’t. Same could be said for the Blues but we had more.  Canes did leave it out there as you say so can’t complain about that, Rod says his guys played  a good game and I agree. On to the next game.

We may have played our best game of the year. The goals just didn’t go. Being there live, raanta and the boys crushed it.

Raanta was our best player tonight. Normally I’m not a raants guy but he played all world tonight. The canes had an awesome game. The shots just didn’t go. I feel much better about him after tonight. 

My thoughts as well. I don’t mind him in net on back to back games when he’s playing like tonight.

The only guy I’ve ever met who says a goalie who played a 1 goal .955 SV% sucked lol.

My dude, like a lot of us, has Raanta shell shock but tonight was special.  
 

we got a point vs a western conf foe. The point only helps us. Game was really good.  We are gonna have games like this but it was a good one. Our shoutout stinks but I kinda wish they would do away with the skills competition shootouts. Listening to the players and rod, they hate shootouts.  Just run OT until someone scores.

Picked up a point on the Rags tonight since they lost to the Habs. Gonna watch the highlights of that game.

Oops Habs won in a shootout so no gain on the Rags, my bad.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
