Post-Game Talk: WIN!!! - WCQF - Game 4 - Nashville at Colorado - NSH Leads 3-1 - 4/18/18

Colorado fan here
I just realised we cannot be this good but here we are giving a real challenge against a team who is gonna get far in the playoffs this year if we let them.... They are a really good hockey team and frankly so are we​

Let’s not get carried away lol

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Every team in the league can win against each other on a given day. It's not a miracle to see a lower seed give a better seed a run for their money, case & point NSH last year, LA 2012...

Looking forward to the Jets....hoping we can find that next gear we have shown most of the season. This effort will not get it done vs them.

Pump the brakes and let's get by Colorado first.

They are toast.

Subban and Eklholm are looking very rough. Can barely get clears.

 

[Aardvarksson]

I just meant at the end of the game. They had trouble getting enough juice on clearing opportunities.

I hear ya- no worries. I’m just glad to see them looking a little closer to what they were last playoffs

Just dropping by to say congrats. You guys got the needed split in Denver. Looking strong. If both of us can do what we can, should and will do in our respective Game 5s, it should set up a sensational series in Round 2. Whoever survives, please smack Vegas around in Round 3 (if/when they get there).

Your D-core is terrifying and the Swedes upfront make me very nervous. Also, Rinne. It's championship worthy. Enjoy your run! While I hope Winnipeg gets a chance to end it, I will be otherwise pulling for you guys to raise your first banner! Cheers.

Meh, I'm not looking forward to it. Two oversensitive fanbases and we're likely to come out of the series minus several players should we happen to win.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Good game guys. Hard fought even dirty at times on both sides. I hope you guys go all the way. Huge Arvidsson and Josi fan. Cheers.

I'm actually more pissed off now with that weak ass non-explanation explanation.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Lozo did an amazing job summing this up though.

 

[klt2001]

Well the Preds won even w/o me watching the game so that's good.

 

[klt2001]

I'll take a 3-2 or 2-1 type of Preds win, thanks!

Seems like you got your wish. Glad to see Jarnkrok back in the lineup. Hope Joey is alright though. Sick Forsberg move. Glad to see Sisson and Smith still scoring. Glad to see Rinne showed up for this game and made several key stops.

 

[klt2001]

Nice to see the referees are still consistent on being inconsistent w/ their calls.

 

[klt2001]

Now if we could just get some of our other players going in the scoring department (i.e. Turris, Hartman, Fisher, Fiala) that would be even better.

 

[klt2001]

I would put Jarnkrok on the first line if Joey is out and I would put Hartnell on the fourth line as winger in place of Salomaki.

 

[LCPreds]

I would put Jarnkrok on the first line if Joey is out and I would put Hartnell on the fourth line as winger in place of Salomaki.

Did I miss something else? Joey came back and played in the 3rd. Have to admit I didn’t catch if he just came back for a shift and never went back out again though.

I didn't watch the game so if Joey is fine then I would put Jarnkrok in Fisher place and put Hartnell on the fourth line as winger in Salomaki place and see if we can get the fourth line going or put Jarnkrok in Turris place and see if we can get the second line going especially Fiala and have Turris/Fisher be interchangeable on the fourth line w/ Hartnell on that line and see if we can get that fourth line going. If we can find a way to get four lines scoring instead of two, think it would be easier for the Preds to win their games.

 

[NightowlPred]

If you want to get scoring out of a line by adding Jarnkrok, you put him on the wing. One of the reasons why the addition of Turris has helped so much in the regular season (besides getting Fiala and Smittey going) is that the sliding down of centermen has led Lavi to use Calle on the wing.

Okay if that is the case then I would have the lines be like this:

Filip Forsberg - Ryan Johansen - Viktor Arvidsson
Kevin Fiala - Kyle Turris - Craig Smith
Scott Hartnell - Nick Bonino - Calle Jarnkrok
Ryan Hartman - Colton Sissons - Austin Watson

Except I would have Scott Hartnell-Nick Bonino-Calle Jarnkrok be on the fourth line and Ryan Hartman-Colton Sissons-Austin Watson on the third line since Colton Sisson/Austin Watson have been going lately and if the Kevin Fiala-Kyle Turris-Craig Smith line can't get going then maybe see if adding Fisher there will help.

 

[Armourboy]

I think Hartnell is just too slow for this series. Maybe you get away with him at home, but I'm still not sure. I doubt you see Lavi break up that third line right now.

I still think Hartnell would be an upgrade over Salomaki. Think if we put him on the lower lines w/ less minutes we will be fine.

That's not saying much.

Okay then this :

Filip Forsberg - Ryan Johansen - Viktor Arvidsson
Kevin Fiala - Kyle Turris - Craig Smith or Calle Jarnkrok-Kyle Turris-Craig Smith
Nick Bonino - Colton Sissons - Austin Watson
Scott Hartnell - Calle Jarnkrok-Ryan Hartman or Scott Hartnell - Fisher-Ryan Hartman
