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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
