Special teams is indeed 1. No question. I’d say it’s the style of pucks on net vs creating chances is two. It just doesn’t work in the playoffs against elite goalie play. That’s been the same since 19. Run into an elite goalie, get blanked. That’s the because the offensive style allows the goalie see all shots. The goals we have scored have been sexy tips or deflections. Goalie play has been good. Not great. But it’s like the allstar game. The best goalies let up 6-7 goals. Why?? No defense. Our defense while good in some spots really has been a let down. Watching Burns halfass a clear or Slavin chasing or Tony d really doing nothing is tough.

Oh I can blame them in spots. We are having major defensive breakdowns leading to goals. Burns is having a horrible playoffs. Tony is horrible. We are allowing 3.5 goals a game. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Koochie or Freddie, it would be 6-7 goals a game. Even our radio guys Tripp Shane and the couple local podscasts talk about how back our defense is playing. It’s breakdown after breakdown. The only reason these are 1 goal losses vs 3-4 is the goalies.

Will agree to disagree on this one. They really should switch to a zone style defense because man defense just doesn’t win in the playoffs. The bigger issue is from the athletic article I posted yesterday. The canes prioritize every shot on goal possible versus creating scoring chances. That’s really what needs to change. Alho has yet to score in the series while having a ton of assists. Also should be our leading goal score easily.

Hopefully he does first tonight.

One last time…Aho

This message by this guy was a low key flex. I kinda respect it. But I also hate it. fug the rangers. I hope we win tmrw..then win Monday. Then win weds…then win Friday. Why not?

Atta boy.

While I appreciate the sentiment. You won’t get much of it right now from us. We are just pissed off. Another year, another rod canes flameout by a sweep. We aren’t happy. Wish you guys well….fuq your goal song and enjoy your ride home back to Cary . Joking of course…maybe

It’s not good when our 2C is Staal. I believe Jarvy could be like Trocheck but a little better.

https://theathletic.com/5483745/2024/05/09/rangers-hurricanes-game-3-elimination/ essentially, rods system in playoffs doesn’t work against good teams every night. Talks about changing his philosophy on letting your scorers be elite and prioritizing scoring chances vs pucks on net shots on goal. Quality vs quantity. It’s talks about us having elite guys but they aren’t a fit in the playoffs with how rod plays. I believe this is the key. If we roll with rod, he must change his tune on how he coaches.

It’s happened with the panthers, bruins, and rangers in the last few years and look at them. Couldn’t do poo in the playoffs and got new coaches. Working out pretty well for them. Rangers even this past two years. They made it to the ECF two years and last year got bounced in the first round so they fired they coach. Ole Lavy has them about to pull a double sweep…

Some guy on Reddit made this point I didn’t even think off. Quote: It’s the man on man D. Works great during the regular season. Not so much in the playoffs. When we fall apart we end up leaving someone wide open to score. we are one of the only teams that play man defense. In the regular season it really does work with 82 games. Works well vs bad teams and sometimes vs good teams. But when it breaks down, it’s looks bad. In the playoffs, everyone is good for the most part, but once you get to high teams playing high end hockey, man on man breaks down very fast. The rags play a 3-2 or 2-3 zone however you look at it. Makes it very hard to get grad As unless force you way to the middle or net front. Most teams used to play man on man and it’s gone away. That could be the exact reason why we just disappear in the playoffs.

The official PP stat is -1 of 15. Holy god it’s historically bad.

Yep. It’s all coaching. We have some true elite talent and it downs mean a thing in the playoffs. It’s not like we lose 6-5 each game. We can’t score, the PP goes to poo, and goalie play lets up. All thought I think Koochie played very well. But it’s the same thing every year.

So after a good nights sleep I had a chance to reflect on last night. I was mad, angry, pissed off. The building was hype. Now, I’m just disappointed. Another year, another playoff rod collapse. It’s the same story every ever. Guentzel has been as advertised. He is giving one extra point or 2 a game in some form or fashion. But that’s still not good enough. Kuzy was a bust, you can tell he is about done. Other than that, it’s the same team. That one point Guenz gives us still isn’t enough. Our PP is soooo bad that we are now allowing other teams to score on it. I’d never seen anything like it. They just don’t move. PK was great last night. But, I’m just dejected. This team will never win a cup. It’s just not gonna happen with Rod. We need new blood becasue this team is about lose half its players. Last nights beat player was Svech. Give him credit. Dude was a machine. Has been all series. it’s been a fun ride this year boys. I know we have a game left but we aren’t winning it. Hell, we prob get smoked while all these blue shirt Yankee assholes take over our building. We blew it last year and reaaalllllly blew it this this year. I’m mean this is just pathetic.

fug it. Here it’s the thread. It’s prob over. Rod in playoffs is stubborn and sucks. Last game thread of the year. whatever

It’s over. This game 4 in Raleigh is going to to be a rangers poo show. Rod will have that confused dumbass look while throwing out the wrong lines. What and end to a window ever. This team sucks.

That’s would mean we hit players for more than 1 period. That 2nd and 3rd was bitch tits hockey. This team is done. This last game we play is the last of the rod era. fug them.

Suck my dick to you posser. Go to the leafs already. Playoffs loser.

Waddell can suck ju fat cock. KK over Trocheck???? Take a long walk off a short bridge. fug you. This team sucks. It fuging sucks.

I agree. Rod playoff hockey sucks. My season tickets will be much cheaper each year if we suck. This is unbearable.

We look slow and underwhelming. Let rod walk.

This team will never win a cup under Rod Brind’Amour

Like I said, at the start of the playoffs, this team is just like the Toronto Maple Leafs. Great and the regular season plays like a bunch of fuging bitches in the playoffs. fug this team and fug the coach.

It will save me money on my season tix. fuging you and fug this team.
