How do we not score there 😩
AHHHH Tommy has to score from there man
ESPN announcers are more excited about a potential TB goal than the fans in TB are
A lot of good things from the top line and a few of the young guys. I would expect Fabbro in for Schenn next game.
Just glad the boys clawed their way into the game after that 1st
At least we’ve looked pretty good. First period was awful. But I def like what I’ve seen since then. First game of the year, hopefully we build on this performance
I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT BEDARD
The entire TB team could run a train on these announcers’ wives and they would thank them for the honor
I hope we go all the way to a shootout just to spite the announcers
we’ve delayed the debut of connor bedard by 10 minutes let’s pump those numbers up
I’m a lot less angry since I muted the TV
HEY THAT’S OUR SONG
Is it not a penalty if their bench slaps it down???
Impressed by our 6 on 5 keep in ability. Not so much our scoring ability.
That was certainly one of the games of all time
NHL respect new market teams by talking about the game in front of them challenge: impossible
Fuuuck off ESPN
So another year of refs fucking the preds, eh?
Well not too bad of a game if you take the ENG and penalty shot away
“We gotta go boys. We got an nhl debut we gotta get to”
Preds were the better 5 on 5 team
TB scored 2 legitimate goals tonight. I will never be convinced otherwise.
Oh well. Fuck TB. Welcome back everyone.
Well that sucks
So, was that goal that they called GI, was it actually GI? I know it was close, but dude looked set.
well…. At least we didn’t give up the ENG immediately after pulling juice? progress?
^^well^^fuck
Fuck Bedard fuck the refs
Fuck the refs, fuck Kucherov and fuck these bitch announcers
Some good things definitely came outta tonight. I can say that this team gives me more excitement than Hynes’ team.
Take away all of Tampa’s bullshit goals and we hung in there with them. This team will be fun to watch
Man, the boys played their asses off those last 3 minutes
It’s clear we’re an NPC team to the league. We exist as punching bags for the money makers. If we do anything more than that, they shut that shit down quick.
Man, why the refs and ESPN gotta be that way
So moral of the story, give us some decent refs and we’ll win some games
So who’s sticking around for the Bedard/Crosby show?? /s
“Well the Preds played a good show BUT THE REAL STARS CAME OUT IN TAMPA BAY” HOW much more biased can you actually get. Gross. Fuck TB, but fuck ESPN harder for biased “neutral” announcing. Think I’ll put on my Karen wig & send a complaint 🙄
& Fuck you too Reddit, for constantly showcasing an ESPN ad on this thread, blathering about Bedard & his first game
Preds played good against the Tampa Bay Referees.
2nd/3rd periods felt like a different team than the 1st.
Long season ahead. Absolutely need to improve, but we are going to be fine.
I think I’m more upset by the commentating than the actual game, although the reffing made me want to rip my eyes out.
Fuck the rest of the league. I love this team. This group of young men and some grizzly vets are going to make a lot of other teams fans cry this year. Take away arguably 2 horrendous calls and we win this game. We beat the lighting 5 on 5 for 80% of the game.
