You wish we would lose got it.

Now, we have to start Kochetkov, cold, with an exhausted defense in front of him in a possible series tying game.

I HATE the way RBA manages goalies in the playoffs.

Pyotr should have been in goal for this game. Not a slight against Freddie (he played great) but why not take advantage of the long break between Games 2 and 3 and put Pyotr in net for a game that doesn’t matter?

 

Freddie has been an animal, probably wanted to keep him hot and then rest Freddie in game 4.

I guarantee you Freddie will be back in net for game four.... these aren't back to backs, Freddie Played lights out.

 

Anderson and Markstrom are the same age I bet you Devils fans aren't worried about 'resting" him.

I'll keep this for the receipt.

Kochetkov started one playoff game last year.... after two home losses and  Anderson is playing better this year.

Really don’t understand how we didn’t show up for a single minute of the overtimes after fighting back from 2-0. 

Coaching sucks.  Motivation sucks.

Good idea. Let’s ride the dude that had knee surgery 6 months ago instead of looking for opportunities to work in some rest in the post season.

LOL yep rods totally gonna throw the guy with a .812 % and 4 gaa over the last month and a half in a potentially series tying game  

Let's see who Rod sides with history is on my side.

Of course he’s going to start him. That’s the point. He’s going to ride Freddie into the ground instead of taking obvious opportunities to rest him when he could have started Pyotr in a meaningless game 3 and then it’s a fresher Freddie in a potentially series tying game.

I think your reading comprehension is lacking.

I didn’t mean this game, I meant the series. There is no way their defencemen can keep up. No way.

All I can say is….

 

Where Nikishin?

 

Wake up Rod, loyalty to players won’t win the cup.

No but you're not playing to win the round 1 championship. It's hard to let one goalie run the whole post season if you're not blanking series. This is now a 5 game series minimum and he just played into two OTs while facing a ton of pressure. You rest your goalie so he doesn't burn the hell out. 

If we don't rest Freddie and lose, we're crushing his confidence, wearing him out and THEN playing koochie even further from his last start.
