If you gents criticized the poor defensive play tonight as much as you have Freddie I could respect that. Had the defense played this poorly last night it would have been a loss. 

I blame both.

Slavin and Ghost are no-shows on D tonight.

Finally!

Even Jank was underwhelmed... lol

We are a different team with Slavin, Jarvis and a decent goalie…currently Bussi. Just get to playoffs and maybe make a couple of trades.

I do worry about how many “nights off” this teams has though

I get where you are coming from with this. And, you're not wrong...

But, no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to give 100% effort when you know, in the back of your head, that it won't matter. There is a noticeable difference in the way the team plays with Freddie in net versus when Bussi or PK is back there.

I don’t know what’s worse, watching this game or being forced to watch a Lifetime channel movie…torture either way.

I'm fine with where Miller's at right now.  He's been a net positive lately in my opinion.

Freddies gotta go

Except that's just not true.... 4 of the 5 goals are low or medium danger.

How many games have the Canes played with a complete blue line? 3?

This is also true. Freddie may touch a .790 save % this year

And rod will still give him half the starts and make nonsensical excuses

Adam Gold said it for me. I await your trashing of Adam Gold now lol.

Canes have yet to score- that damn Freddie.lol

Adam Gold has only one opinion that matters and that is his. He is a good dude. But he puts a premium on how much hockey he knows because his relationship with Rod.
