Post-Game Talk: WIN!! - WCQF - Game 4 - Nashville at Winnipeg - Series Tied 2-2 - 5/3/18 8:30 Ctl - NBCSN, CBC, TVAS

[Bringer of Jollity]

Just saw the result (ok, also had gamecenter up at work), wooo hooo! So what happened? Bad reffing? Injuries? Bad war room call? Or was it just our horseshoes again?

Go Preds go!

 

[bdub24]

Scott f***in Hartnell if you can believe that.

 

[Legionnaire11]

That sound you're hearing right now is the shuffling feet of all the Preds fans backing away from the ledge, me included.

Now come back home with the line matching advantage and shut them down again and we'll really be in business!

 

[INDhockeyfan]

It is 2-2 how we got here doesn't matter. Each game is different.

The team played a defensive first game w/ our offense also helping out w/ the defense and they played as a team defensively/passing the puck out of our end and helping each other to get the puck out of our end and protecting in front of Rinne and scored a couple of goals when they had the chance to keep the lead. Pretty much every guy was covering their man and helping each other out. Wasn't the most exciting game but it got us the win.

 

[Yukon Cornellis]

Come on Arvy pass that. We have got to pass on some of the of those rushes!!

Same thing I told my wife - got to pass it to get Honeybun moving side to side to open up some of the net.

Great win. Feels much better when we can get a handle on the Jets offense. We will lose if we try to play pond hockey with them.

Great win for Pekka, I had a feeling he was going to be out for revenge-- he needed to get angry. Should be good news coming back home.

Great to see Hartnell out there being effective-- he really should not have have sat this long. Fialia is a tough choice, but it's ridiculous that Salamaki has been in over Hartnell.

PK played much better defensively, and great to see him shut up the Whinnerpeg crowd with the goal. I will give him a pass on the last penalty, total dive by whinnerpeg player. But he does have have to be smarter knowing what's going to happen there.

Good adjustments by Lavi. His ability to make those adjustments is ultimately what has brought him success.

Sweeeeeeetttt

Response.
2 our of 3 is all we need going forward in this series.
Enough said.

 

[maplepred]

Great win!! Go Preds Go!!
Need a big win game 5 in Smashville!!!

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Wow, there are some Jets fans that must have had some Vegas money on a Jets win tonight (and the over). Looks like we're going into the salt mining biz.

No need to mine for it. Got big stacks of it.

Preds post-game audio if you guys would like including Rinne, Subban and Hartnell.

To listen click here.

 

[drwpreds]

Subban just never learns. He almost cost the team the game and he did just let Laine into the series and give him some confidence (did you see dancing with the puck on the next shift?). Hopefully, that doesn't come back to bite them in the next few games.
.

Was a bad penalty for sure- but oh by the way for 58 minutes Subban was an absolute beast out there- reminiscent of last year’s playoffs

 

[Legionnaire11]

I love Adzy's post game pie, but it might not taste that great tonight with all of the main board salt from Jets fans!

 

[BonMorrison]

The main board is jokes rn. One guy called our team “scared punk bitches.”

Sounds like someone has a masculinity issue but okay.

People acting like we’ve been trapping all year, so much salt.

Expectation of a win+team being shut down+losing home ice=Bitter disappointment

Go Preds go!

You guys trapped the hell out of the neutral zone and the Jets always want to pass going through it.

 

[PredsV82]

Resolved not to watch nor check the score on my phone. Couldn't risk another night like game 3.

Played with the kids, put them to bed, dozed off and just woke up a few minutes ago. Read the Twitter feed on the Score app then the GDT

This pattern keeps repeating itself:

Preds score multiple goals and win a high scoring game.

Next game everyone thinks they are Gretzky and defense is ignored and lose a high scoring game.

Game after that, hyperfocused on defense and not taking penalties. Rinne's confidence returns, and Preds scratch out a low scoring win.

Huge props to Lavy for the lineup shakeup.

Props to old man Hartnell for not making Lavy look stupid.

Now, boys, do it again at home Saturday.

 

[Armourboy]

Let them cry about trap or a defensive style of game. You dont win the Cup on style points you win it by winning games. Oddly enough this is much the same style of game we played in the playoffs last year. On nights where things go your way and you bank their mistakes you win 5-1, nights you arent so lucky you win 2-1.

Devils may be remembered for being a trap team, but people also remember they won the Cup with that team.

 

[LCPreds]

I wonder if Winnipeg fans are freaking out as badly as we would be on average had we just lost this game at home. I'm afraid to go look.

I havent looked but I'd guess they aren't freaking out at all they are convincing themselves that the refs beat them or that they just had bad luck or somehow otherwise convincing themselves that they should have already won this series in a sweep

Sounds like how I feel about the Preds.

Nah, it's all Matt Hendricks fault. 100% serious.

 

[klt2001]

What I liked about this game was everybody was working as a team/unit, rather than a bunch of individuals on the ice. They were communicating to each other and helping each other out.

Yup and if they continue that they will win more than they lose.
