how come we havent seen the continuous fast pace play that we saw in game 2?

Effort. 

They only put in that much effort when there backs are agiast the wall although we did see it for one period.... I strongly expect period three to be Canes dominated

Should have started Pyotr in game 4. Freddie is fatiguing as the series goes on. 

Yep. I said that when game 4 started. Short rest from a night game to the afternoon. Pyotr is excellent on the road.

And Freddie, from what I'm seeing, hasn't been very good the last 2 games. And, in the playoffs, your bar starts at "very good." You want it all? Then your goalie needs to be superb.

Although I would have given him a game after the loss....

 

It was a full two day break.... rest shouldn't have been an issue

Wasn't a full 2 days. Played Thursday night and played Saturday afternoon. That's what I said.

Freddie also had a serious medical condition and played what 20 games total? Now he’s played 5 in a week.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
