Pissing the game away

Gibson has so many saves through traffic.

 

[Kat Predator]

Wow this team sucks ass....

I thought we screened Saros rather well.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Is ESPN using fake crowd noise? There was a huge cheer for the Ducks goal and I know there's not that many Ducks fans there, plus Weekes said "the Ducks goal stuns the crowd here in Nashville"

 

[ShagDaddy]

Macklin Celebrini……
Come on down!

 

[SouthNash]

Ok I'm done listening to these duck kissing jackasses! Nite all!! Saturday afternoon!

 

[triggrman]

I sit Saros next game.

 

[drwpreds]

Absolutely BRUTAL

 

[herzausstein]

Another lead successfully botched.

 

[Marty Party]

What a dandy....

Go Perds!

We gave Gudas a Gordie Howe hat trick.

There are 11 Ducks fans in the barn tonight.

There are 11 Ducks fans in the barn tonight.

And they all teleported right up to the mic to cheer immediately after the go ahead goal.

If we’re just going to continue to blow games I see no reason we shouldn’t be giving the kids more ice time. It’s weird we seem to not want to believe they showed they could compete last year.

In particular, we should put Parsinnen back on the top line. He showed the play style tonight that made us all fans last season. He will have some ups and downs but I think he will develop into a very good player. I swear Nyquist is just our new Granlund. Inexplicably plays all situations and gets a bunch of assists from it but never does anything anything all that special.

So demote ROR from 1C to fit the dream of Pärssinen at center AND on the top line?

What the staff needs to do is end this experiment of Pärssinen at center and follow their pre-season gut to play him at wing. Let him bang on the boards and cycle ... let him carry the puck to the front of the net ... keep him away from the dot (entered the night at 37% ... his 3 for 10 tonight isn't going to help that).

Nyquist for all of your complaints is getting points and contributing.

Age and/or experience isn't keeping anyone off of the ice. Evangalista is the youngest player on the current roster, still Norris eligible with only 25 games prior to this season, and getting 2nd line minutes at ES plus PP time because he is executing. Pärssinen had goals in the first two games, nothing since, and his ice time has reduced as a result.

Yes that’s definitely what I said.

 

[Kat Predator]

Speaking of Granlund, he just whiffed a breakaway.

I made the mistake of switching to watch Dallas OT after our game and got to see Duchene with the game winner.

Maybe he's destroying their culture though?

 

[wmupreds]

Duchene had a slow start but has 8 points in his last 4.

I still am not convinced we needed to buy him out but, I guess it's not like he would be the difference on this team.

Parssinen doesn't have a point in 7 games, and no goals in 11. Not to go "101" or anything, but how do we justify putting him on the 1st line? I'm not even sure he shouldn't be in the press box over Tomasino.

 

[101st_fan]

Yes that’s definitely what I said.

So then demote a winger that is outperforming Pärssinen so that you can gift minutes.

Do it. Let fact and sense guide you. I will admit it isn't as easy as letting whatever emotion you're feeling at the moment rule your universe ... but it does give a consistency. And we have bourbon.

 

[Predsanddead24]

I thought he had a great game tonight and that he looked great on the Forsberg-OReilly line early in the season. Forsberg was on a cold streak shooting so we gave up on it but I think that line was really quite good.

The way I justify it though is we’re losing almost every game now and consistently blowing leads. We saw last year that the younger guys can step up given the opportunity yet we seem to have reverted back to the veteran first, effort over skill mindset that failed us miserably last season. We’re not winning anything with the current roster so why not focus on developing for the future. What’s the worst that could happen? End up in the bottom of the standings?

Well, another come from ahead defeat.

No pie. :-(

Go Preds!
