Fred has had a half season of rest, and he's the guy. I think Rod learned from the Florida series, and in general. Rest for Bob last year was overrated. It mattered eventually, sure, but there can be both a better balance while still featuring the guy. And Fred is the guy. It's nice that Pyotr at this age already has playoff experience, but in my opinion, not starting him in game 4 was the ultimate sign that Rod is riding Fred until otherwise noted. And I think Fred has earned that in his time since his injury. I don't hate a better balance, but I think game 4 was the perfect time with no pressure to do it and the fact that we didn't spoke volumes.  His leash will inevitably be shorter with the struggles, but he's been solid overall.

He’s been ok for the past 2 games. 4 goals is not ideal. As Tripp says Pyotr plays up to elite Russian goalies. Leash has got to be short tonight. If Rod goes Pyotr it gives Freddie a chip and it energizes the boys. Tonight would be the night to do it, not at home unless Freddie really struggles.

I think Freddie bounces back but if he falters early, you have to pull him. 

Freddie rarely has bad games b2b. 

I also don't falt him much for 3/4 goals the last one was 100% on him though.

I've seen it mentioned in a few articles the chances of the canes going 0-2 on the kill and 0-5 on the PP are very low.

I like our chances

R1 Game 5 and R2 Game 1. He’s been sloppy man. Even Tripp is saying it. If you got SXM rewind to the 9AM top of the hour to hear Tripp.

So what is boys. Sounds like Freddie is our guy tonight. If we win and Freddie plays bad do you go Koochie in game three. Freddie plays bad(I don’t see this one happening btw) do you go Koochie?

I love Koochie but this isn't the time to start him IMO.... he's played in 4 playoff games so far and is 0-4 with a .801 % and 4.5 gaa,  of course I think it's all him being too amped up but until we know he can handle the pressure I'd be hesitant.

I'm not disagreeing with you there but rather meant in the same series.

And I agree he is sloppy that said the GWG was the only one that was truly his fault we can't have multiple defensive breakdowns this go round.

 

Also see my other post about Koochies playoffs.

He’s also only allowed 2 goals by the rags this season and matched them well, unlike the islanders.

That's not the playoffs my friend he has four playoff appearances and wasn't close to the guy he is In the regular season.....  of course all 4 were on the road so I'd like to see him at home with the crowd at his back.

He’s also a year older now and appears to have matured in net. The key is giving the boys energy and putting a chip on Freddie’s shoulder.
 

If we are giving up goals again early Rod has to go to Pyotr.  I know you don’t put all the goals on Freddie, but it’s the playoffs. It’s the goaltenders job to bail their defense out on at least one of them. He didn’t on all of them.

    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.
    • Need to crush the hawks tonight. A lose would really damage momentum 
    • Sorry, but this is a terrible breakdown that doesn't at all show what you're trying to say/project about T-Mac next year, as it leaves out key information that changes everything, it makes the opposite point that you're trying to. Chase missed 5 games that second season after playing all 17 as a rookie (and still saw more targets that second season). Puka it looks like you projected his stats out to a 17 game season (as he only played 11 games), but even still , when you have 160+ targets as a rookie, there isn't really much room to get any more the next year. Waddle saw an increase in yards, and sure, his targets went down, but he played on a team with a better WR that year who saw 170 targets for 1,710 yards during that 2nd season for Waddle... something T-Mac doesn't have to contend with on the same team (280+ targets for their top 2 WRs, if you don't think T-Mac would see more than 122 targets if him and Coker combined for 287, then you're nuts). Then Olave and Wilson both saw an increase of 19 targets in their second season. You basically just laid out the reasoning for why T-Mac should see at least 20 more targets next year, if not more, which would be a solid increase and put him easily into the Top 10 most targeted WR next season.
