[Cali Panthers Fan]

I'm confused. On the question of who should be the backup goaltender, why is Rittich not even an option? I remember voting for him, and he's clearly the strongest candidate.

I love how fans are split on Curtis Lazar, but are more willing to keep Garnet Hathaway. Is it simply due to acquisition cost? Seems kinda dumb to me because Lazar is a much better player.

68% of fans saying to let Backlund go and yet 60% say keep Sam Bennett......goddam it.......why do fans not recognize players who are the real difference makers on a team? Sure, he wasn't as good as last year, but he's still really good at both ends of the ice. Is it simply because of the new contract? Is the love for Sam simply because of his age and draft pedigree? Seems stupid to me.

Also, I'm disappointed that the power play only got 12% of the vote for biggest reason for missing the playoffs. I could go into a rant on how special teams often lead to your position in the standings, but I'm too tired. Maybe tomorrow.
