Everything this entire Preds organization has done since last summer up to the final 'Red Out' against the Hawks next month needs to be studied. They need to study and learn from it, learn what not to do ever again.

We fans got our milkshakes drank this year. They drank it up. Ssssssllllllllluuuuuurrrrrppppp.

leggy scored

Yeah but I think the Red Wings have lost like three games prior to tonight. So still not missing Leggy too much. They did win against Edmonton though by 2-1.

I wasn't saying that to say he should still be or not. Just glad for him.

Go Leggy.

Yikes Pekka.

Oh okay. Yes I'm happy for Leggy too. Hope his team can make it into the Playoffs.

That Jones guy hasn't been working out much most of the 2nd half of the year. Now ranked last in +/- at -24 after this game.

Bring up the young guys for all that is good. This is just awful to watch. The only bearable game that has been watchable for the past 2 months for the Chicago game and still that want even that good.

Yeah might as well let the young guys get some experience/practice for next year. This season is pretty much over anyways.

They are better off in Milwaukee fighting for a spot in the playoffs. Other than the bump in pay, I'd want to stay far far far away from Nashville if I were in their shoes.

Yeah have been pretty much disappointed w/ Jones. I know he is still young and all and will need time to learn and grow but lately he seems to be getting worse not better but so has the whole team.

What blows my mind is he is one of 2 players to play in every game thus far. Gaustad is the only other player.

I know. You would think he would get less time w/ all the mistakes he has been making but he is either Trotz's favorite since he is suppose to be a top pick or Trotz's wants him to get more experience to be better for next year. Who knows.

 

[twig]

The Poile Trotz reign is over.
The right people just hasn't realized/admitted it yet.

 

[I Will Son]

What the **** is it going to take for changes to start happening?

This team is terribly put together except on D

Which will be after the Preds.

Jim Diamond just said on twitter they'd "probably" call up some kids after the road trip.

So pretty much for sure. Who's first? Now's a good a time as ever for Jarnkrok.

Jones has hit that rookie wall. His body just isn't ready for an 82 game schedule, especially a compressed olympic schedule.

He is going to be a great player, he just needs conditioning

The Ellis MDZ pairing was equally as bad or worse. Ellis was exposed all night.

I sure someone will say it was Weber fault though.

 

[jwhouk]

Jones hit the rookie wall a while ago. He's had arguably one good game in his last 10 since the Olympic break.

 

[wentz22]

Is it just me or has Clune been roating threw the lines the last few games?

Just my 2cents from last night. (I only watched the first and second period). Our 2nd PP forward unit looks so much more creative that the 1st unit PP group. Also a few weeks ago MDZ wasn't getting a look on the PP because our PP was hot. Whats keeping him out of it now? It's been bad for a while now why not shake it up and put out MDZ with Ellis instead of Jones.

Oh well....

Agreed. All part of being a rookie and will be great, but for now, he's exhausted and doesn't have the same level of intensity that he did when he was playing 25 mins a night.

Yikes Pekka.

The most critical comment of the night concerning Pekka's play. Peks had a bad night (to be kind) ... the second and third defensive pairings had bad nights ... our 1st PP unit struggled ...
