WCQF Game 5: Dallas Stars @ Nashville Predators ★ 2:00 PM CST ★ NBC, TVAS, SN ★

hopefully a couple of bad seasons and a dip in attendance will make the games affordable again Predators are 7th in ticket prices!!

Oh yeah. Henry has done an awesome job making the games a real event. Full marks for the marketing they've pulled off.

 

[planoser]

Goes both ways refs have been fairly hands off this game

 

[aufheben]

This is exactly what has happened in San Jose under Peter DeBoer. Stanley Cup Final in year one, completely stopped playing defense by year four. Teams really need to stop hanging on to their head coaches for so long.

Seems like the best years are usually the first one or two. That’s why I’m a little skeptical of Tampa extending Cooper when he’d already been there for like six seasons. Pittsburgh could probably use a change too.

 

[bdub24]

Why didn't Laviolette pull Rinne there?

His care level matches that of the players at this point.

Nashville is getting no calls right now. Unfortunate for them.

Been that way the whole series. The team is playing bad enough to where I can’t even be that mad about it though.

 

[King Weber]

Dallas seems to be getting the benefits of calls or more so non calls

at this point I don't even really care. not like we're gonna do anything with the PP anyway.

Comeau...

Lol Blake Comeau...if that was a Rangers goalie instead of an empty net, it’s 6-3 Stars.

 

[bdub24]

Yeah, arent we 0 for the series on the PP? We don't need to get calls.

[bdub24]

GG DAL.

 

[koyvoo]

Preds have the tools to still come back and challenge for the series win but they definitely need to have more focus in the defensive end and up their compete level in general. If not, this one may be wrapped up next game.

Can I be mad about the 2 non-calls in this period? One crosscheck to Granlund when he was down and the trip that EVERYBODY saw!

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

No noise at all at 1 minute left and when Preds have the control in the oppositions end. Speaks so many volumes about the team and the overall mentality

This has a 2006 feel to it from the West......

That what's happens when your team is known for years to dive more then any other team

 

[adsfan]

Now the Preds have their backs to the wall. It is either do or go golfing!

#bishopforvezina

At least NSH can say they got stymied by the best goalie....

Imagine losing to a bed wetter like Binnington

 

[Words Of Wisdom]

Nashville looked completely uninspired, this feels over. But, Rinne could steal two games.

 

[Gnashville]

Mercifully it’s over thankfully Monday will nail the coffin shut

Everybody saw the trip in the circle. That wasn't a dive!

 

[Zerotonine]

Neither team looks interested in advancing .

Only if he has some defense in front of him!

 

[NoName]

Wow, another higher seed Cup contender facing elimination in a series. This weird post season just keeps getting weirder.

 

[Master P]

Neither team looks interested in advancing .

Feels like you can say that about a lot of teams this playoff.

 

[bdub24]

Only if he has some defense in front of him!
