Lmao refs doing everything possible to give them a chance here. Typical.
So Smith getting tackled isn’t a penalty? Refs showing all their cards here
I hope they OG on an empty net
Pk with an empty net seems like we’re gonna have a chance to fire it the length of the ice for an empty netter. Maybe even the goalie goal lol.
ITS MR STEAL YOUR GOAL
Respect to Smith for taking that shot from Wilson and getting back up before Wilson. I bet I couldn’t do that lol
Give Glasser the goal you cuck!
Ovechkin looks just bored n lazy this year.
Fuck you, give him the goal
Can we get an empty net penalty shot on that
That. Should. Be. A. Goal. Fuck you refs!!!!
How was that not an awarded goal? FFS that’s slanted officiating.
Strome with the angriest hook I’ve ever seen.
Let’s go boys! Great effort
Somehow we ended up with more shots on goal
So are the refs going to be even more shit to us now that we’re good, or will we become one of the darlings?
we played really well tonight. deserved win.
A WIN IS A WIN IS A WINNNNN
Fuck you Washington and your refs. There’s no stopping the Pred train!!
I swear to all that is holy if these teams don’t stop fucking wtih Cody.
These end of game chippy shit needs to stop against us
#NEW STRAT: Beat the opposing team down with a stick so they can’t score a goal
Another Preds win! Great work by the team to hold out on those power plays. Juuse is so good!!!
Did anyone a few weeks ago think we’d be 2 points out of 1st place by Christmas? This team is special
Justice for Cody glass!
