It was a breakdown in our own end where Sebastian Aho was allowed to get a clean shot. That's what all-star players do - they make things happen.

EDIT Regardless of that goal. Dude is the only reason we were in it. We were outshot 2-1. That's my main point.

We crucified Marckstrom for giving up a goal against Toronto when the devil scored 1 goal. Allen played well and kept this team in it
And yes, that should have probably been a shutout for Markstrom.

But….Markstrom gets wins (albeit the team has played bulletproof in a lot of them, I’ll give you that, they didn’t do that tonight but they also didn’t do that last night and still won) and Jake the drain gets nothing but L’s for the last 4 starts. And I mean L’s not OTL’s, just L’s.

And Allen only stops 86% of the shots while Markstrom stops well over 90% in that stretch.
 
Goalie is 0-4-0 with an .861% and 4 GAA in his last 4 starts on a TOP team in the East/league, but isn’t a problem because the team got outplayed. And he wasn’t a problem when he handed Washington the game winner because he was the only reason that game was close before his now customary collapse late.

This is the same Stockholm syndrome that had some people defending the other shit head goalies here over recent years.

Actually, you know what? I tap out. He’s NOT a problem. You know why he’s not a problem? Because we’ve been lucky enough that we’ve only had to suffer through 4 games of him in the last 29 days.

And he hasn’t played more because he isn’t any good.
Allen was really good and then basically undid everything with his untimely pants pooing the rest of the way. I’m just glad we have at least one good goalie now instead of the parade of bums.

Kinda pissed we have to wait 3 days for the California trip. Hopefully the boys will be ready for it. They’ve been on a good streak these last few weeks.

Hopefully they keep pushing.

Overshadowed by the Timo call was the HORRENDOUS non call on the trip on Luke which directly led to a scoring chance and penalty. Also the egregious cheapshot by Orlov which should of been a game misconduct or at the very least a Devils PP

Been watching hockey for 25 years, thats a top 5 crap ref game right there. LOL at Canes nation saying refs you suck. Holy moly, that red state education really showing

The blatant missed call on Bratt during the PK. They call and obvious one there and the go ahead goal never happens.
 
Here’s another thing to think about. The win streaks keep dying at 3 and can’t get to 4.

How many of the games where we went for 4 did Allen wind up playing? I think a bunch!

And it’s not like he’s losing with a 1-2 goals against like Schneider in the toilet era.
 
So tired of all the ignorant complaining by canes fans. They just don’t know hockey. The booing when a player is behind the net waiting for the change… even if five seconds..

Eh. We used to complain we can’t get to three :)
 
There’s reasons to be positive. Our top lines were matched completely by Rod and the team played as a whole slow and uninspiring…. And with 18:30 left in the game I thought we might manage to win it. Winning games when you play poorly is a big part of being a winning team.

I thought we were at least getting a point even with the stinky 2nd goal against.

Then the bullshit major happened.

Funny enough, Dano kind of threw shade at them for being incredulous about not getting a penalty at some point in the game. I wish I clipped it, but it got a chuckle out of me.

It’s tiring. They’re buffoons. When your team is wrong admit it. Several times I said it was legit if we had a call etc … they argue offsides!!
 
Honestly took him long enough to publicly call out the refs. Unless I missed it did he say anything after the Blues game? He should've said something there but idk if he didn't because we still got blown out.

There were so many games where the refs fcked over this team so Idk if it was that one, but I remember one of the games he said the refs weren't what caused them to lose the game, which I remember being absolute bs but whatever. One of the few times I was mad at Keefe

He’s basically undid his really good start to the season too. He’s now been more of a negative than a positive this year.

I don't see how that's a positive. It's not like they're going to stop doing that in the playoffs. The Canes ability to blanket our stars especially knowing it's a long shot we're going to get any depth scoring is a big problem we're going to have to solve. We also didn't end up managing to win when playing poorly and we never win games playing poorly. Last night was probably one of the closer games we came to winning while playing poorly and even that wasn't a poor game.

Going through the schedule now for the 4th game. He lost 3 out of 4 some of those I don't blame him. We didn't score against the sharks and the blue jackets game we had so many scoring chances...

11/10 vs sharks 1-0 - Allen

11/27 vs blues 3-0 - Markstrom

12/19 at blue jackets 4-2 - Allen

Tonight at Carolina 5-2 - Allen

He played 3 out of the 4. The san Jose game which isn't on him at all.

Markstrom lost the Blues game which had its own nonsense going on.

The Columbus game where we refused to score until the last few minutes. Then tonight.

Jackets probably the best case for blaming the goalies on any of those. The Sharks one Allen was perfect outside on Sharks shots. Only one that went in was a Timo own goal. Also we played like shit for 2 periods and didn't start playing until the 3rd. St Louis game Markstrom was shit but also shutout and brutal officiating helped to put us in the hole. Jackets game Allen was bad and helped cause them to lose in conjunction with the lack of finish. Tonight you can get on him for the 2nd goal but he was overall good and definitely not why they lost.
