But Rittich is so much fun guys

Gonna be hard to "Like" every post in this thread... Way too early to be throwing in the towel

 

[LCPreds]

on the bright side we know the team apparently has to allow the opponent to score first. So at least half of this is to plan.

Rittich by most accounts is a below average goalie

Current 0.333 save percentage confirms this

My daughter has thrown in the towel!

I think playing him more than once a month in the regular season could’ve helped.

It's been a couple minutes, shouldn't we take a minor?

Helped us miss the playoffs…

 

[Armourboy]

Glad we played all season for this.

 

[Aardvarksson]

Still getting dominated

 

[Marty Party]

Got COL right where we want them. Up by two.

 

[GoldOnGold]

Don't worry Rittich is going to score this game

 

[adsfan]

I lost the coverage. Take a TO Hynes!

 

[Legionnaire11]

Glad we played all season for this.

So we lose in round 1 and pick 16th... what was the alternative? This team is nowhere near bad enough for a top-5 pick, we'd be in that 10-15 range in which there's no difference between the prospects and where we're going to end up picking. So would you rather have this lottery ticket for a couple of weeks or be talking about which prospect we're hoping can crack the roster in 4 years?

I'd get more upset but I'm expecting us to get swept at a 3-4 goal deficit each game. No expectations on us to succeed and any Av fan wanting to open their piehole is the equivalent of the school bully picking on the special needs kids...this might be the most worry-free playoff series in years. Let's see some battle, let's see something from the kids, and let's see some growth from some guys.

 

[Scoresberg]

I think that 1st goal is our season in a nutshell.

1. Be over-aggressive
2. Get a penalty
3. Find yourself behind the 8-ball early

On which net?

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Not that I'm expecting it to change much, but it's game 1 with them injury and bruise-free in their barn in front of their pumped home fans, the early lead is hardly a surprise.

 

[Marty Party]

I see Kunin scoring a goal tonight.

 

[AintLifeGrand]

I see Kunin scoring a goal tonight.

Yea right

 

[Predsanddead24]

Rittich is what he is but taking a dumbass penalty a minute into the game is what really grinds my gears.

 

[Tysonson3]

I see Kunin scoring a goal tonight.

He does seem to have a habit of scoring when it doesn’t count

No I'd prefer if we actually showed up

Around the time of Pekka's jersey retirement, it seems like Saros fell off, we lost all secondary scoring, and we lost any benefit from our "aggressive" style. So the net result is we're playing like a lottery winner with our best players having career years.
