GDT: Game 56: Nashville Predators(30-19-4) @ Seattle Kraken(16-34-5) - 7:00 p.m. PT / 10:00 p.m. ET

That 3rd was the best period I think the Kraken have played all year. Completely owned a very good team and made them looked pathetic even. Hopefully there were a lot of scouts in the building because that was a show game and stocks just went up on some guys.

Are they actually trying to win after being down and work on that 0-28-1 record when being down by two?

We finally did it.

We're now a whopping 1-28-1 when trailing by two goals or more in a game.
Whohooooo

Crappy start, great finish.
The joint was jumping.

We are winning all the puck races. What the hell is going on?

Predators played like they spent a couple hours at Canon "practicing" before the game. Add that Hakstol seems to have gotten the word that getting the most out of the players he has on the roster is his job.

Not sure what 'Canon' is but I really hope it's more to do with the latter than the former.

It's a bar. And the former part was indeed an exaggeration. The Predators team that played last night looked nothing like the one that played in the Stadium Series game.

It's sports, of course. Sometimes a team just comes out and lays an egg.

Kudos to the Kraken for pouncing on that and taking a much needed win. It seemed like the changes the coaches put in made a big difference as well, which is good as the intensity of play picks up down the final stretch.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

This is the Wennberg I hoped we were getting. Boy, has he been good today

Wennberg needs talented and skilled Wingers

Going down 2-0 was well a downer,but scoring 3 in 2 minutes plus was great!!!Of course getting a shorter for the winner topped it off

We won the game yesterday and today both the Coyotes and Habs won.

It appears to be a race to avoid the bottom.

Yeah. Because with the new rules you can't have both Wright and Bedard ..

That's not true.

You can only win it twice within a five year period.
That means you could win it two years in a row, but would be prohibited from the next three #1 picks, no matter your record/lottery results.

Ahh. My bad. I knew about the 5 year period, but I thought it was a combination of both. i.e you can't win it twice in a row or more than 2 times in a 5 year period.

LOL at changing the link to "That's Not True". Proper.

I searched before, but I never got clarification.

When the rule was changed, I read an article that stated "You could only move up twice in a five year period". Other articles state that you can only "win the lottery twice in a five year period", without describing the specifics of "win the lottery"

I have assumed since, (mostly based on discussions on the main board), that it means you can only pick 1st overall twice, and that it had no restrictions on picking 2nd, but never was entirely certain.

I am still not certain if say the tenth placed team moved up to 2nd pick one year, and then they won the lottery 1st pick the next year, would they be ineligible the following year, or does the move from 10th-2nd not count?

The way these boards describe it, a team could theoretically draft 1st-2nd-1st,2nd-2nd-1st-2nd-1st in an 8 year period which seems inaccurate.
