Well they have the 6 v 6 edge because Freddie’s let in 3 because he’s flailing around back there.

That I agree with. But he was much more calm and Freddie like that second period. I still think win or lose we go to Pyotr in game 2, Freddie can get both home games. 
 

Which if I’m not mistaken Pyotr has allowed 2 goals against the Rags this season in two games.

It needs to be Pyotr’s net, no way around it. Freddie has gone on way to many streaks where he’s allowed two or three consecutive goals in the postseason. Need more help from our goalie.

Not to be lost in all of this the PRESSURE is on them to hold serve at home because I promise you at home we will.

Winning 1 of the first two has and is the goal.

It's easy to blame a goalie.

Can't let them have wide open guys in the middle of the ice

It usually gets in our guys heads when we switch goalies and our D game goes up exponentially. That’s why I want him to pull Freddie if Freddie gives up one more. It won’t hurt Freddie’s feelings like it does Pyotr’s. 
 

But it sends a message to the boys they gotta be better.

    • 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.
