Not worried about it. We just played a good team who was on an eight game losing streak. They were desperate and we were lazy. Rants did enough to keep us in it, the guys in front of him did not. 

Yep exactly where I’m at.

They literally had 2-3 players in front of their blue paint the entire game. That causes big issues for the canes.

That’s what some teams have learned to do against the canes, and it’s been effective because they know the canes like to shoot the puck from the perimeter and score on rebounds.  Not sure what the solution is.

Like we did to the aging pens. Then we play stretch the goalie game. But we never got ahead of our game besides the Martinook goal. We just kept reverting to bad habits. On both offense and defense.

When we get down, we divert from our game. Teams can just lock in and deflect shots in their d zone b/c they know we don’t generate anything besides rebounds and redirects. 
 

When this happens, we have to convert on the PP. Unfortunately, it’s looked like trash for the last few games again and whatever voodoo was propelling it is now gone.

Our dynamic players didn’t get their pregame nap.

Seeing it live. The canes have stopped cycling and moving in the PP. It’s just pass pass pass in the same area.

One thing that I will say was telling. I don’t think Rod has any faith in our second line. Fasty should have been moved back to 3 after their 3rd goal. And Noesen to 4 with our 2 not playing at all.

Raanta was below average.  Here is the thing.  Our team this year goes by two things. Special teams and goalie play. Goalie play tonight was bad. Could not convert a PP goal. That’s game. 

Last time Canes played LA , Canes won 6-5 in a shootout. Freddie Anderson was in net.

They’re a good team on a losing streak motivated to win today and play tough against the canes. Canes aren’t going to beat them scoring only 2 goals and having defensive lapses, and a goal or 2 that should have been stopped.

I think you have to give Drury a chance at 2C before the TDL. If he stays producing then great but if not then we need to go get one.

I’d look at:

Svechnikov - Aho - Teravainen

Bunting - Drury - Necas

Martinook - Staal - Fast

Noesen - Kotkaniemi - Jarvis

 

Maybe Noesen and Jarvis can jumpstart KK.

There isn’t enough grit on the 4 line there. Yes Noesen is grit but KK is snake bit. I think putting Fasty on 4 was probably the smartest move of all season but I think shifting him to 2 may fix things.

We’re not that type of team in my opinion.

Rod’s MO has been three scoring and one checking. Problem is we’ve been two scoring and one checking.

KK and Necas, once he gets back, need to get going.

Personal opinion but I think KK is actually too gritty for a 2C and he’s ideally a 3C.

I feel like Drury is in that same mold but probably has more skill than KK which is why I’d give him a shot as 2C.

In order for KK to be successful offensively he needs feeders. His shot is elite but everything else is kind of average.

I think he belongs with two wingers that can create opportunities for him.

Who those two wingers could be is up for debate.

Let's start with basics. Canes were beaten to loose pucks, lost board battles and allowed cross ice passes in both the 1st and 3rd period.

They were sloppy passers, no puck support behind the goal and guys running into each other like they've ever been on the ice together.

The Canes didn't belong on the ice with an NHL team today. 

This was not on Raanta. The Canes would have lost regardless who was in net the way they played today.

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
