The problem lately has been losing to teams we should beat, Nashville, Columbus, Ottawa,NYI....

 

 

Canes have also lost to the Panthers 6-3 at home and 6-0 away. Beating them away means more than beating a lower ranked team imho.

For morale sure, but those games are understandable, losing points to doo doo will hurt more if they need it come April. 

 

Given how bad our goaltending has been and the defensive lapses... I'm not upset if we drop a game or two to the defending champs.

Nashville has been playing better as of late. They have too much talent on that team to be bad.  Columbus is up and coming. Their offense is really good. Ottawa is a playoff team this year with a top 5 goalie.  Yes on paper this team is better but with some context that’s why we lost.

Watching highlights this morning, last night was a lot of Kochetkov. The Panthers had many grade As and got behind the Cane's D more than once. 3-4 breakaways and several shots from the front porch #52 made some great saves on.

Tripp mentioned a few times how goalie coach Jason Muzzatti is working to "quiet" Kochetkov's game. It showed last night.

Also remember who was in net for both games as #52 was hurt. Martin was in for the first and most of the 2nd until Perets came in.

I think that "quiet" being coached in his game could be a difference maker.  You dont see elite goalies doing crazy poo around the net.  They stay calm and cool.  Freddie is a master at this..when healthy and not worn down.

I remember, because I made the comment the Canes goalie didn’t stop the offense from scoring 0 goals in the second game lol.

The season is really starting to lose its fun factor. I don’t see how we win much less score an actual goal.  All of our big guns have disappeared.  Ghost is hurt and out for awhile.  Drury is out.  Koochie was great these past couple years and for some reason he has regressed. The defense isn’t playing well. ESP Burns and Slavin. I’d be shocked if this team made the playoffs.  But, any given game right?  Just win tonight. Somehow. 

Koochie hasn't regressed he is who he's ALWAYS been he simply isn't as sheltered as he was in the past.

    • Or just don't be an ass and hang out in the left lane. Just use common courtesy. The people who tailgate and be an ass are no better and its not a surprise that a lot of road rage incidents occur when inconsiderate people and assholes cross paths. Just make an effort not to be either. "Not allowing the bully to bully you" is also being an inconsiderate ass to the people behind the "bully" who would also like you to GTFO of the left lane.
    • It was completely disgusting and the most obvious fix I’ve ever witnessed. Deflating. It’s probably gone on for decades but high def TV has truly outed the egregious ‘officiating’. When was the last time a small market team was allowed to win a SB?  Offensive holding is it, and it’s so predictable. 2nd and 7 turns in to 2nd and 17. Defense pins their ears back, covers the slot guy and TE roaming the middle, and watches for the WR/RB screen. D line needs to maintain gap integrity. The deep shot to the WR down the sideline is a low percentage play so no real worry there. Most average O lines won’t be able to convert.  Loser getting too close to FG range in a close game? Holding. Winner needs a short field? Holding. DCs love them some obvious passing downs. Narrows down the playbook and significantly puts the odds in their favor. Put a team in 2nd/3rd and long all day and they are NOT going to win that game. It would be interesting to do a statistical analysis of the relationship of holding calls and game outcomes.  This is where having skill position people that can go yard on any given play is so valuable. 
    • It can still be enjoyable.  I don't think the players are in on it.  I mean, I think they probably understand the "business" but they are trying.  So it's fun to watch them.  But I admit I'm not even close to emotionally invested as I was before the SB50.  It also just happens it's usually on a Sunday and I don't have much going on anyway.  I really think it's just one head ref that can push a game the way he wants it from instructions from the man upstairs.  Why else do they keep bad refs?   I don't think it always works out when they try to push the game though but more often than not it works.  Sometimes a team can beat the refs and the opposing team but it's rare.
