Riga is out again

[Ledge 1,131]

I've had a bad taste in my mouth ever since we lost game 5 to Warsaw. They're an amazing team, full credit to them for wiping us out of the playoffs. I don't know, it just seems off. Hedge picked the perfect draft class to tank and build through, and we still have most of that core. But apparently it isn't enough? Zamboni Driver, in his last season, was phenomenal especialy at the start of the season and will contend for the goalie of the year. But in the series, he gets pulled? Multiple times? Our forward core, which boasts near-the-top-of-the-league in TPA Cabe McJake, Isau DaMoose, and Justin Lose, all but up less than 7 points in the 5 game series? And our D core may not be the best in the league, but Linus, Giant, thunder, and Hlozek are all top four caliber D on almost every team. Yet we still let 6 and 7 bombs multiple times? Maybe I'm just ranting, and maybe it's all a coincidence, but come on, is it that hard to believe that STHS was out go get us?

 

Next season wlll be difficult, because both of our current goalies are retiring. Chances are, Tobias Reinhart will go to the E, so we are left goalieless. And starting goalies don't pop up on the market too often. There is also talk of movement among some of the forwards, although it is unlikely we will enter another rebuild, not when the current core is still capable of pushing for a cup.
