Fred has had a half season of rest, and he's the guy. I think Rod learned from the Florida series, and in general. Rest for Bob last year was overrated. It mattered eventually, sure, but there can be both a better balance while still featuring the guy. And Fred is the guy. It's nice that Pyotr at this age already has playoff experience, but in my opinion, not starting him in game 4 was the ultimate sign that Rod is riding Fred until otherwise noted. And I think Fred has earned that in his time since his injury. I don't hate a better balance, but I think game 4 was the perfect time with no pressure to do it and the fact that we didn't spoke volumes.  His leash will inevitably be shorter with the struggles, but he's been solid overall.

He’s been ok for the past 2 games. 4 goals is not ideal. As Tripp says Pyotr plays up to elite Russian goalies. Leash has got to be short tonight. If Rod goes Pyotr it gives Freddie a chip and it energizes the boys. Tonight would be the night to do it, not at home unless Freddie really struggles.

I think Freddie bounces back but if he falters early, you have to pull him. 

Freddie rarely has bad games b2b. 

I also don't falt him much for 3/4 goals the last one was 100% on him though.

I've seen it mentioned in a few articles the chances of the canes going 0-2 on the kill and 0-5 on the PP are very low.

I like our chances

Wake the puck up Caniacs it game day! Team won’t let this go 0-2. They will be ready. 

Win tonight and you control the series because I highly doubt they drop either of the first two home games.

R1 Game 5 and R2 Game 1. He’s been sloppy man. Even Tripp is saying it. If you got SXM rewind to the 9AM top of the hour to hear Tripp.

So what is boys. Sounds like Freddie is our guy tonight. If we win and Freddie plays bad do you go Koochie in game three. Freddie plays bad(I don’t see this one happening btw) do you go Koochie?

I love Koochie but this isn't the time to start him IMO.... he's played in 4 playoff games so far and is 0-4 with a .801 % and 4.5 gaa,  of course I think it's all him being too amped up but until we know he can handle the pressure I'd be hesitant.

I'm not disagreeing with you there but rather meant in the same series.

And I agree he is sloppy that said the GWG was the only one that was truly his fault we can't have multiple defensive breakdowns this go round.

 

Also see my other post about Koochies playoffs.

He’s also only allowed 2 goals by the rags this season and matched them well, unlike the islanders.

That's not the playoffs my friend he has four playoff appearances and wasn't close to the guy he is In the regular season.....  of course all 4 were on the road so I'd like to see him at home with the crowd at his back.

He’s also a year older now and appears to have matured in net. The key is giving the boys energy and putting a chip on Freddie’s shoulder.
 

If we are giving up goals again early Rod has to go to Pyotr.  I know you don’t put all the goals on Freddie, but it’s the playoffs. It’s the goaltenders job to bail their defense out on at least one of them. He didn’t on all of them.

    • Watching Rams/Eagles. Celebrating the St Louis Rams team that won the SB (Warner, Holt, etc..) while playing in Los Angeles seems wrong.  If I were in Los Angeles, no way I would attend a Rams game.  Probably wouldn't attend a Chargers game either.  Becoming a fan of a team that likes to move around just seems like a waste of energy as a fan.  
    • The only responses I am getting after providing statistics to put opinions in perspective seem to be from people who get angry and attack stats and people whose opinions differ from their own.  Have people on the Huddle ever overreacted, exaggerated, been wrong about players before?  Sure they have, so an alternative opinion with statistical support should not cause you to attack me or my views.  I am sorry your public schools failed you.  But your reactions are very revealing--you are stuck in Piaget's concrete operational stage--learn logic, how to debate a topic, and learn the difference between facts and emotional opinions.  When I paralleled Cam's stats with Jones' to point out how remarkably similar their careers have been to this point, It blew some 40 watt minds.  I think Jones, in a better situation, could be good--that should not upset you--
    • penalties and poor hands is what cost us in the RZ Bryce missing "high" in the back of the end zone is not an issue, you're taught as a QB to throw high in the back of end zone were only the receiver can catch or no one The duo of Ian Thomas and Tommy tremble can both go at the end of the season, both been here for multiple seasons and they've barely developed
