    So sick of this team. Do SOMETHING? CALL SOMEONE UP? This is turning into Hynes hockey all over again, we’re literally back on the same bullshit. What happened to going away from dump n chase???

  2. KarmaPanhandler

    It’s only fitting that they shit the bed for Barrie’s 800

  3. Agh0st1

    What more does Tomasino need to do to get more ice time or on a top line? 

  4. Infraction_

    Cool that David Rittich saved his best play in Nashville until after he played for us.

  5. Soto4Life

    I’ll be dreaming of us hitting the post tn. Also, Tommer is really fucking good and it’s ludicrous that he dosen’t get more ice

  6. Agh0st1

    We better be sellers. Just fucking commit and let the kids finish out the year. Bring up Afanasyev, L’Heureux, Svech, Kemell, Parssinen. We have 26 wins. 28th place in the league has 20. We can still bottom out. 

  7. Kroger453PredsFan

    Oh so NOW Dave turns into a fucking Vezina contender.

  8. da2_np

    I only tuned in for the 3rd as I was taking a nap, but I’m not surprised they lost. A microscopic PP and a lack of poise kills them again. I’m also gonna take a guess and assume they didn’t play worth a shit until the 3rd when they realized they were down a couple goals.

    Also, not that this should matter, but I don’t think the Preds have ever won a game broadcasted on TNT. Add to the fact that they are absolutely abysmal when playing from behind and you’ve got an easy L.

    I’m going to say it again, this team should be fucking embarrassed. How the hell do you let DAVID FUCKING RITTICH get 38 saves against you? I’ll Sat it again, THIRTY EIGHT saves. That dude is absolute dog water, and he just stunted on you hoes. The level of effort put into 75% of that game was so bad that it would keep me up at night if I were one of the players. Shambolic play from this team again dropping points to one of the worst teams in the league in recent form. I’m so fucking frustrated with this team even with taking the whole rebuild/retool thing into consideration. Fuck! See you guys after this stupid ass all-star break.

  11. Hopeful_Cellist9747

    We have exactly one line that can score. We have a #1 G who is in a down year. We have a mediocre D. Our record reflects reality.

  12. 1047293856

    We lost back to back to Ottawa and an LA team that’s barely won in the past month. Really bad look for the team

  13. meinschwanzistklein

    I remember really enjoying watching our offense even when we lost games a couple months ago. Now we’re just losing games and our offense is unbearable to watch.

  14. tbiblaine23

    Well we have thoroughly destroyed our playoff chances. I’m almost considering embracing the tank. Almost

  15. MegaMemoryZook

    I think that’s the game that puts me in the trade saros camp.

    Hope the boys have plenty of practice over the break because they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing out there. Novak needs to speed up his decision making.

  16. FrankFnRizzo

    Is it ever fucking possible for this team to get a truly dangerous scoring threat? This team blows chances like it’s their full time fucking job. It’s infuriating, especially when you can’t stop the other god damn team from scoring. Rittich is not good, and you couldn’t fucking get passed him for 2 entire periods.

  17. artaiten

    I really wish more people would embrace a REAL rebuild. Not this half in, half out bull shit they are doing. Let Jusse go somewhere he can compete for a cup, embrace the suck for a few years and rake in some high draft picks. Stop this dumb ass pipe dream of cobbling together a roster that can win. Fuck me its like David Poile still has his hand wrapped around the throat of this team…

  18. chemodistributor

    Man it was cool sitting center ice for that L. Maybe we should sell?

  19. Sargentrock

    I was at the game and it was one of the strangest games I’ve been to live. We were ahead in almost every important stat except the one that matters most…but the absolute fundamentals like ‘not skating into your own players’ were way off. We never seemed to control the puck very well at all. Even Saros seemed off.

    I will say, the music was spot on. One of the best renditions of the National Anthem I’ve ever seen live, and the marching band was a blast (first for me, but I’ve seen Billy Ray Cyrus at least half-dozen times…).

    Also, fuck 6:30 start times. Traffic was about the worst I’ve seen it with people still trying to go home from work while people were coming in. That was the emptiest I’ve ever seen the stands for the first 10 minutes of a game in Bridgestone. Had a few friends tell me they got stuck in that gnarly traffic. Threw off the vibe of the entire night. I get it was for TV, but seriously, no more before 7:00 tip-offs on a weeknight.

    We can’t win a 1v1 zone entry much less stack the crease. Taking it to boards is not the answer. Focus needs to be on confident zone entry. We also let teams into our zone way too easy. I’m constantly seeing mediocre teams stand us up at the Blue line, meanwhile our guys are skating backwards as our opponents enter the defensive zone.
