I HATE the way RBA manages goalies in the playoffs.

Pyotr should have been in goal for this game. Not a slight against Freddie (he played great) but why not take advantage of the long break between Games 2 and 3 and put Pyotr in net for a game that doesn’t matter?

 

Freddie has been an animal, probably wanted to keep him hot and then rest Freddie in game 4.

Now, we have to start Kochetkov, cold, with an exhausted defense in front of him in a possible series tying game.

No you don't lol we aren't playing back to backs here bud, guarantee you Kochetkov isn't playing in game #4

I guarantee you Freddie will be back in net for game four.... these aren't back to backs, Freddie Played lights out.

 

Anderson and Markstrom are the same age I bet you Devils fans aren't worried about 'resting" him.

Good idea. Let’s ride the dude that had knee surgery 6 months ago instead of looking for opportunities to work in some rest in the post season.

Of course he’s going to start him. That’s the point. He’s going to ride Freddie into the ground instead of taking obvious opportunities to rest him when he could have started Pyotr in a meaningless game 3 and then it’s a fresher Freddie in a potentially series tying game.

I think your reading comprehension is lacking.

Looks like you were wrong 

I didn’t mean this game, I meant the series. There is no way their defencemen can keep up. No way.

No but you're not playing to win the round 1 championship. It's hard to let one goalie run the whole post season if you're not blanking series. This is now a 5 game series minimum and he just played into two OTs while facing a ton of pressure. You rest your goalie so he doesn't burn the hell out. 

If we don't rest Freddie and lose, we're crushing his confidence, wearing him out and THEN playing koochie even further from his last start.

    • By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though 
    • Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.
    • That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
