General Manager David Poile outlines three big misses this season for the Nashville Predators that he believes ultimately resulted in the team missing the playoffs for the first time in nine season. Today we talk about Nashville’s five on five game, that disappointing power play, and how top players Matt Duchene, Filip Forsberg, and Roman Josi were unable to get the Predators into the postseason even before their injuries.
The Predators are facing a long and complicated offseason after missing the NHL playoffs. At the end of season presser, David Poile blames three things for Nashville’s lack of success in the first fifty games of the season. On today’s Locked On Predators, Nick and Ann take a look at those three areas and breakdown the stats that reveal a complicated story of Nashville’s disappointing season. What is the big missing piece when it comes to scoring at even strength? We discuss whether the Preds have who it takes to fix five on five production next season. The power play couldn’t replicated last season’s success with consistency. We’ll tell you what the young players did at the end of the season that revitalized the man advantage and discuss how much revamping the Preds will need to do on the power play before next season. Finally, we talk about Duchene, Forsberg, and Josi. What were the challenges that led to disappointing seasons even before injuries? And are all three of these trikes really just the tip of a bigger iceberg that Barry Trotz will need to address this offseason?
