It’s not that I don’t like Rod. He is actually my favorite coach of all time next to Jerry Moore from App State that run of 3 straight nattys with the Michigan win was 2nd to none. My issue with rod is he beats up on regular season teams then once he gets to the playoffs, our scoring drops or our goalie play sucks. Every year. Last year, goalie play was good but we couldn’t score. This year, scoring was there but our goalie play was bad. We scored three or more goals in all but 1 game Vs rangers. That should be enough to get you wins in playoff games. It’s one of the other ever single playoffs. Also, his man vs zone is a real thing. Burns had a terrible playoffs. It wasn’t good. Him chasing his guy vs playing zone may have benefited him. You can still check, hit your man, and get back to your area. Like I said, I love rod but his playoff resume is like one poster said, it’s .514. Its average. Average for a cup contender isn’t good. He needs to change his tune of some philosophy and loyalty to aging vets and goalies.

I hope he changes his tune on some things.

Necas is going to be stud with a team like leafs that lets their stars shine. I’m going to miss that guy.

Facts. We looked gased in that third. His system just doesn’t work in the playoffs.

I don’t mind the players except maybe Freddie. My issue is the the philosophies from rod. Man Vs zone. The guys just wore down. Man just fails in the playoffs. Rod needs to change his tune on youth vs loyalty to vets.

Neither is being a good human. Wasn’t a flex since we have a few of us here that are season ticket members. You choose to single me out because you are obsessed with me. Sorry pal. I’m not interested back. Piss off.

I agree with everything but Drury. Drury showed up big time. He is getting better each day. We will need him next year. Koochie is our guy. No doubt. For the canes to take the next steps, Koochie needs to be him.

When I give a damn what you think of me I’ll personally let you know. Have a good life pal.

Wow. Florida two years in a row heading to the ECF. Great goalie play in Bob and scoring. We had a better team but were worse in goal. We owned them in the regular season. Just shows what elite goalie play looks like. bob vs Igor. At what point does rod just roll with Koochie. This is our future being fuged over by stubborn rod.

For the first time under Rod we looked slow and tired. Im know Freddie was used to going at least once a week to stay fresh. Going every other night proved to be too much. To a lot of folks point, it’s why we should have used Koochie more. This last game reminds me of the double overtime win vs the cape. They looked worn out and we just kept coming. Do we need the youth movement to complement the core?

A bit on the homer side but I wouldn’t hate it. Those stats mean we will win more games.

Facts

Thanks pal. That means a lot coming from a fellow fan on here. I actually do own a successful business that allows my family to have a nice life and the privilege to have season tix. The canes allow me to be a fan with ups and downs and not laddered up robot. Something I don’t do in the professional or family world. Prob didn’t think about that one.

If and when Koochie is given the keys he will be a top 5 goalie in this league. I believe in my heart he is the guy. Home grown Vs free agent pickups like all of our last goalies

I have no clue who that is.

Koochie is absolutely the future of this team. I believe he finally isn’t considered a rookie anymore becasue how much he okayed this year. Koochie after December was rated third best goalie in the league. This guy is the real deal and for the canes to finally win a cup, it must be from a younger goalie. Not Freddie or another aging guy.

I’ll prob re up again, I’m just so heartbroken again that I need some time.

That happened right in front of us last night. Hell of a move by Martnook. There were two more that chatty blocked. Freddie just didn’t have it last night. The rags could have had 3-4 more goals if it wouldn’t have been for some of the defense.

Well boys. Rods playoff bust just showed up again. We traded for Gutz and Kuzy and it didn’t matter. It just flat out sucked. Our goalie became an issue again. We have some major off-season questions. 1. Is rod our guy? Could we find anyone better? 2. Gutz and Jarvis. Sign them. Would they want to play for a team that flames out every postseason? 3. Goalie. Again. Major issue. Koochie and Martin going forward. Cut Freddie 4. Burns, Staal, Martnook. These boys are getting old. How much do they have left? 5. Necas. I’d try to resign him to a new deal. 6. Skjei and Pesce. You get one but with how shitty the playoffs went you may get two. 7. Morrow and Nikishin. How fast can they get up to speed? 8. Rod again. His system in the playoffs is trash unless perfection in net happens. what a sad ending to a great year. Bad coaching decisions killed us. We got Gutz and set the world on fire with the JAG line but rods boy crush in Svech derailed the one. Imagine the JAG line in the playoffs???? You blew it rod. You blew it again. This was our window. It’s gone.

I’d let him walk. Players play. Coaches coach. This team has talent. Our ceiling is set. If Rod somehow stays. Let Koochie play. Freddie is the reason we lost this series. This guy was balls. I mean he sucked. Freddie was Meazik bad. It’s Koochies team now. If rods flameout playoff style is the standard then I will not be renewing my season tix. I’ll save money and watch us loss at home.

Facts. Rod is a loyal bitch.

What about as a coach?

Koochie… he is the guy.

Rod will never win a cup.

We will never win a cup with Rod.
