Probably would have hit a rut and fallen down with the puck just standing still.TBH with as bad as the ice is we probably would have been better off. At least we would have had fresh ice for what was left
That’s Elite Goal Scorer Colton Dougie Sissons!!After 1 period, the Preds have 9 shots and Sissons has 4 of them. Forsberg has 0. Would not have guessed that.
Sometimes its just a damn good shot.That guys kinda good...
The whole team can't buy a goal.Omg, Forsberg can't buy a goal.
Yeah but they've had them for a couple of years and haven't done anything either.Kindof neat what having a couple players of Hughes, Pettersson, and even Millers caliber can do for a team.
Pettersson and Hughes are 24 and just really entering their prime. I think Hronek and their recent coaching change to Tocchet will help solidify them for a couple years. They're 20-12-4 under Tocchet (100 pt pace). Its a small sample but a playoff pace is pretty good for a team that has only qualified 2 times in the last 10 seasons.Yeah but they've had them for a couple of years and haven't done anything either.
Did the same thing. I get up at 4AM EST for work so these late start times kill me.Went to bed when it was 2-1, woke up this morning and saw the final score, Oh well.
Josi > Hughes, Forsberg and Saros are in the same caliber category as those guys. Plus the Canucks have had all of those guys and missed the playoffs the last 3 years straight. The sum of all the parts is more important than the names of the 3 best players. Every team has 3 best players. But hockey is a team game. They have a better team than us, not 3 better players.Kindof neat what having a couple players of Hughes, Pettersson, and even Millers caliber can do for a team.

Meanwhile, speaking of players... now we've played the Canucks twice already, and although I checked out early last night, I can't say I have seen anything from Garland that changes my mind about downvoting him as a potential trade target.
I am thinking more that Saros is our best player, not Forsberg. Forsberg is more the Miller in this comparison.Pettersson is without a doubt better than Forsberg was at his age (24) and is still getting better. He is better now as well.
