  1. Please God put Tommer on a top line somewhere anywhere 

  2. Enginemancer

    Maybe we should stop laying out so many hits. Seems like all its doing is giving the other team a shot of adrenaline

  3. kissingwookiees

    Just when I was about to say Forsberg was the only one putting any work in tonight and he’s the one who’s not getting a break.

  4. 1047293856

    Maybe Tommer scoring again will get him some damn ice time

  5. Upstairs-Bobcat7272

    Gonna have to replace the pipes after this one…unreal

  6. The_Stank__

    Have they not figured out if they cared this much the entire game we wouldn’t be in this predicament every fucking final 5?

    Also thank you Tommers. You beautiful man.

  7. Thank you Tommer. At least we made it close I guess…

    Not to be pessimistic, but I say that because through 50 fucking games, this team has only managed to tie a game when down by 2 goals ONCE. Just ONCE. I don’t need to explain how bad that is. Hell, even the Sharks have come back from that more.

    If we miraculously tie this game I’ll gladly eat my words

  8. Hopeful_Cellist9747

    I an way behind
    Thanks TNT app
    Tommasino scored like ten minutes ago.
    Oh well

  9. kissingwookiees

    we know we hit 4 posts you can stop reminding me tnt

  10. excessive_coughing

    Geez even gnash can’t get on the same page lol hitting the drum while they’re trying to do the goal chant

  11. We can’t control the puck at all and we choose to empty the net. Smart.

  12. Enginemancer

    Omg 2 guys wide open in front of the net thats gotta end in a goal guys. Kings are trying to lose this game

  13. FrogmanKouki

    Feels like Novak takes an extra second to think and that’s not helping

  14. BigMACfive

    How the fuck do we not score there and then give up the empty net. Incredible stuff from this team once again.

  15. And the ghost of the David Poile era haunts us once again!

  16. xiamhunterx

    If I ever run into David Poile it’s going to be the darkest day in our country’s history

  17. Upstairs-Bobcat7272

    LA has shot twice and scored twice in 15 minutes

  18. Strider755

    If we were this bad all year I wouldn’t be as angry.

  19. ostricherox68

    We’ve scored exactly 1 goal this season with the empty net if I recall correctly

  20. excessive_coughing

    I think the Preds have lost their chance at making the playoffs with this stretch. Already got passed by the oilers & blues, as well as Seattle playing much much better recently. I just don’t see how a team that plays like that can get back into the wild card

  21. MylanMenace

    All things considered I think it was a fine third period effort. I don’t regret buying tickets

  22. trustypretzels

    we made Rittich look like an all-star tonight.

  23. BigMACfive

    How in the hell do we let RITTICH get 36 saves on us? He was absolute dogshit for us, and now he’s like prime Brodeur

  24. Hopeful_Cellist9747

    We are who they said we were.
    When the hockey matters most, we are lacking.
    Maybe next year.

  25. mansock18

    Well, all I can say about that is “Oof ouch owie my boans.”

  26. We HAVE to convert on these high danger chances. Way too many misses when we’re literally on the doorstep. So frustrating..

  27. -August_West-

    Sure would love to have Tolvanen on this team.

  28. Enginemancer

    My disappointment is immeasurable and my evening is ruined

  29. TheKid_BigE

    This fucking team man. Yeah we aren’t supposed to be playing as well as we have been up until recently, but to just look so bad heading into the break is just brutal.
