Maybe but I just think he's too slow for Carolina. My opinion but Moose knuckle hasn't been horrible. The team has been bad as a whole. Give The Canes some credit for that.
The team needs to play north south and stop with the fancy shat. This east, west dipsy doodle shat is driving me nuts. Way to many turnovers! Get bodies in front of the net and put pucks on net as well. Have to play a greasy ugly game.

I don’t think he’s any slower than Komarov(definitely not) or kuhnackl. I agree with everything else pretty much. Aggravating to watch. I hate that they don’t seem to have any urgency to their game. Lackadaisical at times almost.

It's not outlandish and it makes it pretty easy to digest since Greiss owned the Canes this year. Might also spark some of the boys, knowing that they really haven't give Lehner much to work with in this series, up to this point. Hopefully, if that does happen, they play guilty and get their asses in gear. Not holding my breath though.

Not to mention Greiss was a big key in winning the Jennings's and was not a goalie who only played 10 games. I can understand Lehner getting the game 3 start but I think Barry should have a t least switched up the lines. It may not have made a difference at all but it's a least trying something.

He is, by far, the best player in the league who can speak five languages.

I agree. MDC is good in the corners and he will go to the net for deflections.
BINGO!

For sure, it just will suck for Lehner if they still poop the bed and he ends a ridiculously good season on the bench.

We are not going to out skill The Canes

Moose Knuckle really isn't that slow. Komorov isn't a speedster but he makes up for it in his positioning imho. Cagey Vet, Hits plays a simple game and is a good defensive player.
I know most hate him here but the PK has been great and he's a big part of that. Waiting for the beating!

When one of the PK regulars takes a penalty Moose plugs into that spot.

I don't think the bottom 6 are to blame for the position the team is in right now. For me the top 6 have been out played in all areas of the ice.

Win or lose he would hate to be on the bench but it's about the team.

Can you guys at least make it a (frank)ing series?
And remind your boys about the need to go NORTH/SOUTH.

My Wife's Cousins, Best Friends Father in law's, Maid of Honor is friends with Trotz and I had dinner with him at her house last night.

Go figure.

No question the top 6 is not getting it done and deserves the most blame. The problem is the only top 6 player that could possibly sit is Moose. MDC has looked good with Bailey and Nelson. I think it's worth trying it out. Isles are down 3-0. Now is the time to try something different.

Yeah, I don't think it's fair to Lehner, but I can see why they might try it.
- BINGO!

Down 3-0 — you have to try something.

Anything.
