It’s clear as day if Bus is not playing there’s no good goalie on this team. Also the hurricanes go as far as the first center allows them, and Sebastian Aho, while a fantastic player is not a one center. The hurricanes will get bounced from the playoffs again, if either of these two positions are not addressed.

Placing the blame for this game solely on Kootchie? Try watching replays.

I posted this in the game thread but you’ve earned a repost here lol.

I don’t blame the goalie when we only score 1 goal, have poor puck control (18 turnovers to sharks 9), and defensive lapses on sharks goals.  After watching replays closely I see a defensive zone turnover and defense as the blame for the 1st sharks goal, and both goalie and defense to blame for the 2nd and 3rd sharks goals. So Kootchi was partially responsible for at most 2 goals. If Canes don’t score more than that we’ll lose a lot of games.

1st Sharks goal- Canes turn the puck over in their end, Celebrini shoots from center left and Graft skates in unmolested at right net front for the tip in. Puck control and defense fail. 

2nd sharks goal- Celebrini pass from behind the Canes net to a wide open Klingberg 10 ft in front of the net for the goal while 3 Canes couldn’t defend and Kootch partially screened by Ghost. Defense fail, goalie fail.

3rd sharks goal- Eklund shoots and puck bounces off Kootch to an all alone on right side Wennberg who slams it in for the goal. Goalie fail, defense fail.

I won’t argue that Aho needs to step up. I agree with that but he’s not the only one who didn’t score.

FYI Aho is ranked 22nd in points for Centers this season, that puts him ahead of 10 other 1C’s in the league. Can he be better? I hope so but he’s certainly no slouch and is a bonafide 1C.

How many 2Cs have more points than him?

    • We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.     
    • Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.
