Not throwing Koochie in there cold in the third after he just played last night can’t run him into the ground or shake his confidence
GDT: NAS-CAR: Get your Bacitracin ready, because we'll have road rash after this one.

Given the state of things he's probably terrified to overtax and increase the risk of injury on Koch. We'd be beyond doomed at that point.

I mean, putting the two oldest and slowest players on the team out for 3 on 3 is very suspect. I get that Staal is there to win the faceoff, but if he doesn't, well...
Because we're trying to defend the lead, which doesn't work, but...

In a time where playing good defense is very important, tda isnt an option. Burns’ being slow is overused.
Burns did what he needed to do in OT. Raanta has to make that save

Burns, Staal, Raanta, and Pesce are shadows of their former selves

I mean Necas is feeding the opposing teams odd man rushes left and right out there.

Coach has got to say that...it's obvious it was on him, everyone knows it ESPECIALLY Raanta...but you can't kick him while he's down there.

Yep
Without NHL quality goaltending we aren't a playoff team this year. Kooch is borderline right now, Raanta is distancing himself as the worst in the league

It's not just on him but I agree Rod ain't that guy and Raanta has earned that. The team should know what they have in goal at this point. When they went up by two it was time to switch from fast and loose to locking it down defensively. I saw a lot of lazy coverage all night. Raanta is obviously not going to get it done at this point. Especially when they have nights like tonight where they match a teams track meet.

Halak, even at 38 years old, couldn’t have been any worse right?

This is probably why you're not a coach. It's a long season and you've got to get everything you can out of these guys.
Points matter. 2 is better than 1, but 1 is better than 0, and it's a Western Conference opponent. Take your point, move on.

It’d be cool if Andersen was able to come back but the plan can’t be to wait around for him. Lankinen didn’t play much better than raanta so maybe that’s not an option to consider but they’ve got to do something. It’s great how well they’ve been able to tread water but that can’t be the strategy

When someone is below the Darling Line, you cannot play them again
