Yep. But great goalie play allows a team to open it up 200 feet. It’s no coincidence the canes scored at will with Koochie playing .950 hockey over that span. They canes under raanta can’t. As a Hockey person, they have to get goalie play. It’s why they started slow then found their grove and have seem to lost it over these past week. goalie allows you to do everything.

Good news is the ducks are beating the rangers 2-0 and islanders losing 2-1. I don’t feel as bad but raanta in net is a colossal liability. With Koochie, we proved we can beat the best. I don’t hear kooooooooochie chants with raanta in net. Not because he isn’t there, because the canes play a very conservative game to limit the shots on goal. Something the average fan won’t see is the game starts and ends with goalie play. Rod won’t open it up because has goalie play. Thin the islanders a few years ago. They just muddy up the middle. Our goalie play, is and will be the reason we win the cup or not. I pray Koochie stays healthy.

No prob! But do you see a .600 save % as good? That’s get you retire early bad. Canes did everything well this game but stop pucks. Give credit to the wild goalie. They guy was a baller tonight. Our guy was not.

I’ve been prob the biggest raanta supporter on this board over the years. But it’s time. He played well a couple games ago vs St. Louis and we lost. Tonight, dude was bad. Koochie, please come back asap

Of course the last two were but the first three were all on raanta. I know becasue they happened right in front of me. I’ll give him 1 but 3 on 18 shots should get you fired.

But it’s about shots on goal. You can have 19 shots on goal but if 3 go in…. That’s not good.

A good goalie allows you to play faster and aggressive vs tight.

It was an early pull but raanta in the third had a .600 save %. 3 goals on 18 shots. This board has got to stop making excuses for raanta. He is done.

Guys I say it. We are dead in the water with bad goalie play. 45 shots on goal to 19. If Koochie isn’t ready. Play the new guy. Raanta is a nice guy but he is toast. We would have had 65 shots on goal if we trusted our goalie.

This game shows what good goalie play can do.

Canes have outplayed this team all game. Difference. Goalie. That’s it’s. We get some net front action I feel good.

a goalie is playing well….

I like you. Never had an issue. But raanta is ass

You raanta lovers must be happy.

Go canes man!

Well their goalie did it 17 times.

Our goalie situation is dreadful. 17 shots to 2. Tie game.

Canes win and rangers lose tonight we are 1 point back.

Do we get that weird extra bicep muscle he had? That for the old school panthers fans.

Agreed. Pillows is major bust. Next year will be more of the same.

Gonna be a good one. As always with raanta in net, we play more conservative. Hoping we get 2 early ones and don’t look back.

Going with Noesen

Dipping his whistle in the ole tender profile again???

Wasn’t Lyon Koochie AHL wolves backup or Ned’s backup?

Gross. Don’t remind me of that one. Last night, I was thinking, how did Alex Lyon get good? That one game he played for us, he was utter utter ass.
