Carrier MVP for blocking that sure-goal from Ovi at the end

Hands go up 🙌
That pass block was incredible. Ovechkin scores if he gets a chance.
Carrier made some huge plays
What a great GWG from elite goal scorer… *checks notes* Ryan McDonagh? I’ll take it!

TODAY I LEARNED: Mac is SAUCY
I’d like to send a fruit basket to the person in the Preds organization, who met the devil at the crossroads recently.
Lanky is legitness. Carrier is a stud. McD have a fucking bow, what a goal. Great game overall. I’m happy for once. Hynes and Poile out still, though.
What an amazing game. Physical slam fest. Brutal out there on the ice. Pulled out a great win. What an amazing final block from Carrier.
How did I not realize Ryan McDonough had not scored yet? I guess I was so distracted by the saga of predator’s legend. Cole Smith that everyone else fell by the wayside lol. Gutsy win boys
Let’s fuckin go boys!
Tank is off the menu fam, we’re gonna win Lord Stanley!
2 statement wins in a 3 win streak. Have they turned it around? Can they finally get that ever-elusive 4 in a row? Tune in next time!
The Nashville predators are 3-0-1 without Cole Smith
Lol but in all actuality, I’m really glad the team is playing well (except last night but we have the goat in net)
This team is really firing on all cylinders right now. Last year we did the same thing – spent the first 2 months being a fucking bottom feeder before finally figuring it out and hitting the gas. That lasted us until probably March. I remember Forsberg stalling immediately after the trade deadline.
I’m hoping that because the turnaround didn’t really start until basically Tolvanen was waived, in mid-December, that we hit our peak right around playoffs.
Also – I’m considering doing a “guess the player” or “would you rather” where you have to pick a player based on their stats. Anyone remotely interested?
So has everyone on the roster scored except Smith and the goalies? Serious question lol
Is this a joke? Wtf why are we back to back beating top tier teams
Back to back away wins against two very good teams. Consider me hyped.
Rangers fan just dropping in to say thank you for the last 2 games. Much appreciated.
Can someone post a clip of the last goal? That was a beauty.

Seems like the kids are playing well. Exciting to see
Perds are back
As a Mac fan (FL Bolts fan here & from FL) it was so awesome to see him get a goal. Looking forward to my 3rd trip to Nashville next month for another game. Happy to see the Preds playing well.
How about Novak being close to a point a game player while getting around 10 minutes of ice per night…. 10:53 tonight.
McDongle’s GWG got #6 on Sportscenter top 10 tonight.
