Pekka Rinne is done

<br />Pekka Rinne is washed up.  He just isn't the same goalie anymore.  This goes back to last season's exit from the playoffs.  One man basically owned him (Ryan Kesler).  He is supposed to be an elite goalie but he couldn't even beat lousy Luongo in a 7 game series.  He could not even help his team past the Canucks when the Preds had the Sedins completely shut down.  He's a flopper.  He has poor positioning.  He is slow.  His glove hand is weak, his blocker is weaker, and everyone can see into next Tuesday through his 5-hole.<br /><br />Now this? .750 on 16 shots?  Clearly he is terrible.  Lindback is ready.  We need to trade Pekka Rinne for a 2nd rate player while he has any value.<br /><br />Pekka Rinne is garbage and the Predators should give up on him.  They will never win a cup with him.  He is not a playoff performer.  He is mentally weak.  He crumbles under pressure.<br /><br />Next time I go to a game that Pekka Rinne gets scored on (even if they are good goals) I will boo him mercilessly.  He deserves it and it will make his job harder.  Which is what I want to do.  I HATE him and I want him to do poorly so that I will feel better about myself and my accurate judgements of his poor play.<br />

Can you imagine if we had Sidney Crosby on our team? I can just see it. CDCers saying "Crosby got to go. He's faking a concussion." and his nickname will be Sidney Crybaby. Whether you like it or not, Luongo got us to game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. He's a Vezina finalist and in the history books, he has the 2nd most wins by a goaltender in a season. There's been hundreds of goaltenders since the NHL started and no one comes even close to those numbers.

OP, I thought that was pretty funny. What's even funnier is the number of posters who didn't get it.

Yeah, Rinne allowed 4 goals on 16 shots in just the first period and got chased. No chance on three as 1 was banked off his back, 1 was a defection, and 1 was off his dman stick. No reasonable person would hang this loss on him. But we all know that if it was Lu, he'd be hanged. Some fans here really need to be educated in the game.
