I honestly never want to see raanta again we win in spite of him not because of him...

 

Koochies win/loss record is skewed because he took 2 losses replacing raanta and 1 replacing freddie.

That shouldn’t be the case since goalie win/loss is based on the goalies on the ice when the winning goal is scored.

Personal opinion but I think there’s a combination of things going on.

Bad goalie play, guys playing for contracts rather than the team, and our opponents finally understanding how to properly defend us.

All three issues need to be addressed in order for us to be successful.

It’s obvious that a trade for a goalie is a must. Secondly, the guys that aren’t buying in need to be shipped out, get guys in here that want to win a cup. Finally, more transition, less forecheck. If you can’t score in transition in this league then you are fuged. Teams know that all we do is get pucks in deep, cycle the puck, and then get shots blocked from the point. Defenses don’t even bother chasing anymore, they stay home and keep everything to the outside. Our offense needs more variety.

But we need all three things to happen to be successful.

Waddell simply screwed up, EVERYONE knew we needed an upgrade in goal and at his best Freddy is a quality backup, Raanta is toast and Koch is AHL caliber only.

We also needed a sniper - so we add a 20 goal scorer to a few 30 goal guys if they have a good year.

I'm sick of seeing missed and blocked shots from this group - Donny better get busy or we are going 1 and done again.

Donny wads!

In all seriousness though. Goal scoring isn’t the issue. Timely goal scoring is. We are 11th currently which is a huge bump for us. The issue is we are giving up more than we are getting. Even if you take off the TB and the Edmonton game.

We may be going to sign up for tee times in early March actually......

Pesce has the flu/covid.

Svech's ribs/sternum and shoulder are all being looked at due to ongoing pain.  (Not great to hear)

After the MRI, the team stated that Svech will be out for an external period of time. Think at least a month or longer.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
