The problem lately has been losing to teams we should beat, Nashville, Columbus, Ottawa,NYI....

 

 

Canes have also lost to the Panthers 6-3 at home and 6-0 away. Beating them away means more than beating a lower ranked team imho.

For morale sure, but those games are understandable, losing points to doo doo will hurt more if they need it come April. 

 

Given how bad our goaltending has been and the defensive lapses... I'm not upset if we drop a game or two to the defending champs.

Nashville has been playing better as of late. They have too much talent on that team to be bad.  Columbus is up and coming. Their offense is really good. Ottawa is a playoff team this year with a top 5 goalie.  Yes on paper this team is better but with some context that’s why we lost.

Watching highlights this morning, last night was a lot of Kochetkov. The Panthers had many grade As and got behind the Cane's D more than once. 3-4 breakaways and several shots from the front porch #52 made some great saves on.

Tripp mentioned a few times how goalie coach Jason Muzzatti is working to "quiet" Kochetkov's game. It showed last night.

Also remember who was in net for both games as #52 was hurt. Martin was in for the first and most of the 2nd until Perets came in.

I think that "quiet" being coached in his game could be a difference maker.  You dont see elite goalies doing crazy poo around the net.  They stay calm and cool.  Freddie is a master at this..when healthy and not worn down.

I remember, because I made the comment the Canes goalie didn’t stop the offense from scoring 0 goals in the second game lol.
