Harbingers

Really not impressed with Rod. This is one of his worsts pressers.

They just literally posted it while I was posting. Listening to Rod now. Still no goalie questions or talk.

Haven’t listened to the post practices yet. But Rod AND Staals mentality post game was the writing is very much on the wall. As for Raants nobody said anything changed at any position which leads the the assumption of Raants is still 1A. Hopefully canes_pr will put out the post-practice interview soon.

Welp apparently Rod can’t see the writing on the wall. The only change is flipping svech and Necas on the power play. FFS. Apparently Raants is still 1A.

We have pieces, we need to trust them. Now is Pyotr’s time to shine or die.

Won’t help next year. 5M is our max if we bring a goalie in and that’s a hell of a lot for a goalie. Who isn’t named Saros, Vas, Shesterkin or Sorokin. We need to let our Russian get his chance to loose the net.

SAT line needs to be a thing even though Tripp has been pushing the Svech-Aho non-chemistry narrative. I call BS. I don’t see us retaining Necas in the offseason. Let him go spend time on 4. Also put Svech back on the PK. I think he’s losing interest. We need to engage him.

We don’t have the cap space to take his contract. Plus the jets are good so why let him go? He’s at what 6.75M? Nah. I’d say bring Perets up LTIR Raanta and make Pyotr #1 at least until Christmas.

Also not goalie related but bunting needs to come up and Necas needs to drop. Our second line is not working offensively.

Raanta couldn’t even move he wasn’t challenging anything. His side to side was broke. And his usually godly glove hand was non-existent.

Pyotr has definitely showed signs of improvement over last seasons drop off too. I think Pyotr is the type of guy that we need to say it’s your net to lose, not your net to gain. Ya he dropped some goals to Edmonton who was desperately trying to show they aren’t an outsider, but in the 3rd when it came to it he played lights out.

Edited this above. “The point is we have to try something because I feel like if we don’t we are going to end up middle of the pack on the outside this year. So even if we do try it’s not like we are losing anything.” I want Campbell or Perets. There is no way Nashville or Philly are giving up their 1A goalies, especially with the fact Saros is basically the face of Nashville and both teams are doing good so far. It’s idiotic to even think that. Maybe there’s a west coast goalie we could snipe that I haven’t thought about. But I think Campbell is the safest bet. I’d rather we just bring up Perets and start Pytor for a stretch to see if he can get a rhythm. Im done with Raanta though. That performance last night clearly indicates he’s got some serious injury.

Also fug it. Maybe just bring up Perets. I’m done with Raanta until he’s healthy again. The point is we have to try something because I feel like if we don’t we are going to end up middle of the pack on the outside this year. So even if we do try it’s not like we are losing anything.

That wasn’t on the D. Holy poo. Ya the first PP goal was on them for leaving Stamkos alone in the spot everyone scores on us. But TT fell down and then picked up the wrong guy. That’s not on the defensemen. Most of the other goals were just bad goalie. He didn’t even move to a majority of the shots.

If we IR Raanta I think we can squeeze Jack Campbell under the cap. That’s if Freddie stays LTIR all season. Pytor like it or not has to take the reins as 1 now. Maybe Halak will reconsider now that the holidays are over but it sounds like he didn’t want to sign down here if he wasn’t going to play. I like Raanta. But dude he wasn’t evening moving or tracking the puck yesterday. He is definitely injured. We can’t leave a brother out there to dry like that.

A lot of people on xhitter are blaming the defense but when you basically have a crash test dummy in goal… I have legitimately no clue what Rod was thinking unless we just don’t have a healthy goalie.

Donny wads didn’t want to pay him is what I’m going with.

Rod is hammered over. He didn’t want to put pytor in on a loss? That was embarrassing.

Not good enough rod.

God damn our media is garbage. This svech interview is embarrassing. If any of you are canes reporters that like to dabble in this forum. You are not good.

Halak said no already…

The fact Bally is downplaying the goalie poo too. Nah man.

He is definitely injured. Groin and arm. He could raise his arm on snap shots he was saving two nights ago. He also had no side to side. It literally was just a dummy out there. So either pytor was injured or had a “Russian thanksgiving”. Come to think of it I don’t even think they showed him on the bench once.

So chart up boys. And don’t be asking about saros and hart before Christmas. Don’t be a dumb. Who can we get either from the AHL or from tankers.
