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?
With Pyotr in net for game 3, what’s the worst that can happen? The Devils win? Which you’re suppose to win at home anyway. Best case? Canes steal one on the road.
Now we’re looking at either starting Pyotr in a higher pressure game or starting Freddie for his fourth game in a row. Disastrous decision making that is, quite frankly, idiotic.
