Waived: Antti Raanta

[AD Skinner]

Saw Andersen in the locker room. He gave me a thumbs up and said “blood’s intact”

 

[Justicebork]

I've been secretly cutting his Ensure with blood thinners for weeks. He should be good to go.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Interesting. I wonder if it’s to test whether workouts would trigger more clots or confidence that he is better?

Any specialists here to advise?

Aren't we all specialists here?

The answer to your questions is yes.

I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.

[MisterDobz]

Wow! Harsh, but I guess something needed to happen. Many thanks to Auntie, he played some good games here and has been an important part to the teams‘ good play over the years. I hope he lands on his skates somewhere.

Cleared

Imagine Raanta having to go for whatever reason and he gets a shutout.

waiving him was purely for motivation like Martinook. so yes he will become our 1a again and get his sv% this year up to about .930

And win the Cup. Books will be written.

 

[Justicebork]

Can we get a few spotters on US 58 and 64 to make sure Perets doesn't get pulled over on the mad dash to PNC?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Probably good for him to get his confidence back.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Wow, he’s gonna report.



Hopefully this ends with a glorious and triumphant return.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I don’t know if Chicago (either league) would be the place for that this season

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Wow, he’s gonna report.



Hopefully this ends with a glorious and triumphant return.

I love this guy. Prove everyone wrong, Antti.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Bittersweet game tonight without the cheerful Finn.

Hopefully the team responds.

 

[The Faulker 27]

I admire that spirit. That's a life lesson in and of itself. Sometimes you have accept defeat and do what's best to get back.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Wow, he’s gonna report.

good for him, hope he can turn things around

yikes....sorry to hear

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

3 goals against on 14 shots now. Down 3-2 in the 2nd.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Watched the goals on the Manitoba Twitter. One he didn't have much chance in with the quick pass to the bumper spot. The other took a weird bounce off the back boards but he seemed to be pretty awkward on the play and let it in fairly easily. The third there was a guy for the other team behind him in the crease and one of his own around him in the crease it looked like on a point shot. Not great but he was probably distracted by that a bit. May have been nudged by his own guy.

 

[The Faulker 27]

So they're essentially (and literally) throwing Raanta to the Wolves. I haven't looked at the numbers but Im gonna say our defense and ability to limit shots is much better than the Wolves. So how is this gonna help him again?
