You don’t pull Freddie…. The guy has been the best goalie in the league lately. 

He’s also been on a strict schedule and workload target since he returned. I agree with starting him tonight but I’d give Pyotr both NY games if that’s the case. If we want the cup it’s a long road ahead, no need to overwork Freddie. 
 

Caveat: unless Pyotr has a stinker.

Pretty sure his work load was because Rod wanted to ride him in the playoffs his post-game Saturday said as much

Canes got caught below the goal line too many times last game. Too many opportunities for the Isles having a guy on the doorstep and Freddie having to make a huge save. NY wants to muck it up below the goal line and try to draw a d-man too deep or get just one more guy to bite down low and open up the crease. 

Canes try to play more offense down low and net front, it'll pull the Isles closer to the net and Carolina can get some easy entries. Otherwise, the Isles just clog up the middle like the Rags do and it works against the Canes.

Ya we gotta clean up our puck control behind our own net. It was bad last game. Isles are selling out to beat us at it.

I agreed don't chase below the goal line as much, being 2 feet from the ice behind the Freddie for two periods made this pretty clear, we also have a MASSIVE SPEED advantage

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
