This Preds team has taken a play straight out of Butch Jones’ playbook.

let's be honest. pitiful performance. the whole team looked like crap. other than our first line and subban, ekholm, and josi.. this team is marginal at best.

Good effort though climbing back.
Did Mason just say that this game was back an forth??
This game was all Bruins from the start to the end..

Absolutely. We climbed back with a 6on3 powerplay and a 6on4 powerplay.
Those 2 should always result in a goal with a good power play.
This game didn't however show our full potential.
Hoping for Girard to make his debut on the road.

It's one game rofl
Which was a terrible showing. I don't like to sugarcoat. I still try to be relatively realistic about the team. 1st game of the season with a new center on a crucial role.
Defensemen are rotated because of injuries etc.

Positives:
-Rinne played well
-Good effort at the end
-Nice to see Fiala back on the ice

That's all I got.

Boston won the puck battles. They looked faster and were constantly the more dangerous team. They completely undressed our defense at times.

Really feels like we came into the game thinking: "We're Western Conference Champions. Shouldn't be much of a problem against this slow, first-round exit Boston team."

Anybody who think it wont be choppy water for at least the first 20 games is being a bit of a pollyanna.

And we knew after last years playoffs that Irwin and Weber were huge liabilities. To expect either one to log first pair minutes and responsibility, especially on the road, is expecting too much

Sure it was but to act like we are doomed is something else. " This team is marginal. "

It needs some work which isn't surprising. Bonino looked like he hasn't played. Our 3rd pairing guys who are playing up the line up look like it. Couple of new guys need to get acclimated on the forward lines.

It's not a great start but a season it does not make.
