Andersen needs to go. 1) He can’t stay healthy and 2) He chokes when the game is on the line.
I like Pacioretty but I’d let him go and get a healthier player to replace him. Odds are, he will have the same injury again.
Raanta is OK as a backup but we need to get a much better starting goal tender.
The front office DEFINITELY needs to get aggressive and start signing some of these players that will be FA’s next year. Has anybody looked it up? Almost the whole team is up for FA next year! Who does that?
How does the official stand there and watch the Rangers players smash the Devils player in the face with his stick literally 3 feet away and not call a penalty??
I agree there are other issues but goaltending has been a huge sore spot. Raanta has been decent in a couple of his playoff starts. He even said the fellas bailed him out in the OT win. Typical Andersen got “injured” during warm ups according to one thing I heard and then I heard he had an illness. He had “injury” issues when he was with the Leafs and he missed the playoffs last year and at the start this year. He is not dependable and the Canes should seriously let him go and look elsewhere.
