There’s the goaltending issue!

Same problem as the game in Calgary. Tie game and the goalie gives up one he's GOT to have.

But as much as I hate to agree with Tripp on anything that one is also on Aho for losing a battle…

Aho has been completely worked by Miller and Pettersson tonight.

I’m a strong advocate of allowing a goalie to play his way out of it. I think a lot of teams expect too much, and pull the plug too early on guys who are going through normal slumps. Usually a team’s defensive issues run a lot deeper than just the guy in net.

But Raanta is looking completely cooked this season. The guy is 35 with a ton of injury history. That goal just now, a sharp goalie doesn’t come close to allowing that one. Rants is an awesome dude and I want to see him succeed, but I think we’re possibly watching his last season in the NHL and probably shouldn’t be planning on finishing the season with him on the roster.

Raanta bailed us out in the first.

Yes he should have had it. It was a bad time to give up a gimme. I guess I expect him to give up one. The team not crapping the bed 3 times would be cool too

Maybe a new goalie coach? Our current guys claim to fame is developing Ned? Is he a Daniels guy?
