Post-Game Talk: Predators (3-5-2) @ Coyotes (4-6-0). 11/3/16, 9PM. Cellar Dwellers Edition

we're not....

Yeah I have no idea what happened when I said that. I meant to say how are we not winning. Oh well whatever.

 

[wadesworld]

Domingue has been incredible. We've had so many great chances. We've dominated them pretty much from the puck drop. If Domingue was even slightly off, we'd have 3 or 4 by now.

 

[belle]

We have to capitalize on these penalties.

I knew they weren't going to keep the PP success rate up but it would be nice to capitalize on one of these opportunities

 

[bdub24]

Overrated imo.

I can agree with that, but it's just a fun tradition to associate with hockey.

 

[Armourboy]

Looked like an elbow to the face, ouch.

That should have been 5 and a game. Wouldn't surprise me for him to get some supplemental on that one.

 

[Armourboy]

Heck yeah!

 

[INDhockeyfan]

Smith yes finally score on the PP

 

[belle]

Finally a PP goal. Smith!

 

[bdub24]

The value of Subban...nice shot Smitty!

 

[Mass]

Great pass by Subban there

 

[Drake744]

Subban has his faults but sometimes I wonder how the hell he can see certain guys that are open. Does a great job of drawing the D's attention.

 

[bdub24]

It occurs to me that this is the textbook game we have been building the team to be...stripping the puck, keeping it either in their end or neutral...constant speed, constant pressure, cycle cycle cycle. The team looks to be starting to gel. Which is a benefit of road trips for sure. Let's hope this game gives them confidence in the system and they carry it to some of the top tier teams.

I think he just needs some time to get things sorted out. New system and new players.

Weber may be facing the same thing in Montreal, but his style I think is something that transitions much easier.

Agree with that 100%.

That was an incredible play by PK on the goal.

Anyone here watch soccer? We remind myself of a soccer team that lays back a bit and absolutely pounces on the counter attack after a turnover and goes all in from there.

Totally get that! I have loved watching all the stripping they have been doing, really most of the games but really pronounced in that first period.

 

[drwpreds]

In other news, the Blues with another blowout loss. They are very lucky to have the record they do- they have a -8 goal differential, which is worse than ours...

 

[drwpreds]

One more note- if we can hang on and win this game, we could (temporarily) be in the 2nd wildcard spot.

Which is pretty mind-boggling considering the start we have had.....

16-17 Preds are starting to look like the team they can be!

This is the sort of game I was hoping to see, the team looks relaxed and skating well together.

Commentators on NSH-FS-TN take some getting used to...

 

[bdub24]

I'm actually watching the Coyotes broadcast, their announcers are so much better.

Please do yourself a favor and mute them. They are awful!
