Ass goaltending

[Panthers Fan 69]

This is what kept us from the Stanley cup this year.  We were better than Florida and the rangers but Freddie and stubborn rod killed us.   I’m tired of poo goalie play and Dallas cowboys level post season coaching.  Florida in the cup finals two years in a row. If this doesn’t piss you off then you are a Fucckking loser.

That and not doing poo on the powerplay and not all of our goal scorers on the same page and not doing what theyve been all year. We are a completely different team in the playoffs than regular season. Thats on coaching no matter how you slice it.

What worked well for the Canes was alternating the goalies. I honestly believe had we kept that philosophy that worked for the playoffs we would have fared better.

Fred had a terrible elimination game, but if our PK/PP was anything less than absolutely dog poo in games 1-3, game 6 would have been our closeout game based on his play. so....yeah.  While I think this year Kotchetkov needs to get the majority of games and if things aren't going well we need to jump at trade deadline---it's easiest to blame Fred because of a couple mistakes directly in the elimination game that never should have been

Sticking with Freddie was a mistake but Kochetkov didn't exactly light it up either. 

Next year it needs to be a 50/50 split, that includes the playoffs if it isn't clear who the stud is.

Also, side note, Ass Goaltending sounds like a gay prison porno.

We did the 50/50 thing this year and we thought Freddie was the stud, can't do that again as he wilts in the playoff pressure, ok do 50/50 but give Koochie the playoffs, time to see what he's made of

Remember Freddie played barely any of the season. Less than 20% of the overall goalie starts.

All the more reason he should have been fresh for the playoffs - don't get me wrong, Freddie is an adequate goalie but his track record in the playoffs sucks, it has to be Koochie or pick up a stud at the trade deadline. Can't win a cup with an average goalie unless he goes God mode for the run, we've squandered the last few years with just average goalies.

Oh, he was fresh. He just choked.

I think it should be a 50/50 all season. This allows Freddie to stay healthy and it gives Kochetkov tons of reps. The future is Koochie Mane, IMO. His ceiling is very high and I think he has the ability to rise to the occasion.
