Post-Game Talk: Game #69 Nashville Predators @ Vancouver Canucks 3/12/2016

[101st_fan]

Hey 101 good to see you, hope you and the family are well. Shane made SSG the other day, he's still with 5th Special Forces group up in Campbell.

About time he gets promoted.

Looks like Rinne is back to his early season form here.

 

[INDhockeyfan]

Dam it. What bad luck there as Rinne stops the shot and it hits the leg of cannuck and it goes in.

Are you kidding me? He's the only reason we're not down by 3 or 4.

It deflected off a skate..your overreactive negative crap is mind boggling.

 

[NSH615]

What? A Canuck, specifically a Sedin takes a penalty?

 

[SouthNash]

Ok I'm out...tired of the whining

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

14 shots in the second now. Feels like "too little, too late" though.

There we go!!!

 

[INDhockeyfan]

2 PP in a row and can't score. We did get shots on that end PP though

 

[RomanEmpire]

Holy Jesus what a pass from Josi

 

[INDhockeyfan]

Right when I say that Sissons scores. Josi has been a beast this period

 

[drwpreds]

That was an incredible goal!

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Atta boy Sissons. Just keep it at no more than 1 going into the third.

 

[klt2001]

Back in the game. Please don't let Vancouver score again.

A loss tonight and the upcoming B2B's against Islanders and Caps (where we are guaranteed to lose at least one) makes this week very critical for your "Commanding Lead". Tonight's game is a must win otherwise our lead could be 2 or 3 points after Friday if we have a lead at all.

Has any team ever lost an 8 point lead with 14 games left? As far as I know, the answer is no. I posted this in the NHL thread or Observations thread, but we're WC#1 barring something that has never happened before.

The more Sissons plays well the less of a chance we have to see Gaustad anymore.

 

[klt2001]

The more Sissons plays well the less of a chance we have to see Gaustad anymore.

Or Nystrom hopefully.

 

[INDhockeyfan]

The 4th line isn't a offensive black hole anymore now that Nystrom and Gaustad are injured.

And you know this how???? Is that just like the stretch we just completed where we played the Hawks, Blues and Stars back to back to back- and won all 3???

Again, your posts make zero sense, but I am out on this discussion- agree to disagree.

It's unlikely, but I'm sure it's probably happened. Still, some tough games left on the schedule, so Preds need to beat the teams they should be beating. We lose to NYI, WSH, LA, it will start getting a bit uncomfortable, especially if we come out of CGY/VAN with only 1 point. Helps that Minny/Colorado seem to have no interest in catching us.

And it makes us so much better as a team.

And if anyone wants to feel better about our chances, just take a look at Colorado's remaining schedule. It is absolutely brutal.

We really don't need the 4th line to score often... just..... sometimes...

 

[Cashville]

As of March 9th in the season, Ottawa last year overcame the greatest deficit in a decade at 5 points and they had to finish 13-3-2 to claim the last WC spot.
