Post-Game Talk: Loss. - Predators vs. Ducks

[Marty Party]

Is our defensive philosophy to collapse on our goalie and let the other team cruise around to set up their shot?

On the flip side, when we're in their D zone they attack the hell out of us.

"They" meaning any team we face.

Let's see how the 2nd goes.

Go Perds!

 

[Scoresberg]

we really shouldn't be surprised at this point.

we've been having this hope for the last 2 or so years that we are gonna play a game one night and this team will figure "it" out. whatever "it" is.

it's not gonna happen. its either rebuild or retool time and i think that should be done with a new GM.

"It" meaning getting the special teams at least to an average level. If they were we'd be sitting pretty in a playoff spot.

5-on-5, this team has been one of the best teams in the league for a while now but what sank them last year is sinking them again this season. And it's worrying that no matter how many coaches and experts you bring there, nothing changes.

Blackwell just launches the Duck into our bench. Awesome.

 

[Marty Party]

Back to suck.

 

[Legionnaire11]

I think... maybe the Preds just aren't very good

 

[Scoresberg]

Holy shit

 

[GoldOnGold]

Not good.

 

[Montross]

I think... maybe the Preds just aren't very good

Yep.

 

[You]

WELP

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Brutal rebound but we also had adequate coverage to clear it first.

 

[bdub24]

Arvy is 100% not 100%

 

[Marty Party]

Looks like the ducks are ending their four game losing streak tonight.

 

[You]

Nevertheless their long non-Preds losing streak continues.

 

[Marty Party]

You know things are bad when Gnash brings his drum out in the 1st and 2nd periods.

We can't buy a goal.

 

[You]

Trade goalies and we're ahead

this team just stinks. its not even worth the paragraphs to justify it.

 

[Scoresberg]

A goal here in the 2nd would go a long way

 

[Legionnaire11]

Multiple times i've noticed that the preds get possession in the d-zone and instead of regrouping and breaking out as a unit, which is what Hynes wants them to do, instead someone panics with no pressure on and banks it off the boards instead into the neutral zone right to a duck. It's like just turning over the puck on purpose.

Unless that's what the coach asked for and there's supposed to be a forward moving up to get that pass.

 

[Marty Party]

Yep.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Trade Loafhansen!

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Good. Good good. Nothing wrong here.

Can we fire Hynes and bring Gallant in?

 

[GoldOnGold]

It always seems like we have a great amount of difficulty doing anything in the o-zone.

 

[Marty Party]

I think our guys would have great difficulty inserting tab B into slot A.

 

[PredsV82]

Good. Good good. Nothing wrong here.

Can we fire Hynes and bring Galant in?

I know you're being facetious but it's obviously not the coach. These ass holes have just cashed in and checked out.

I dont know if we have another national televised game again soon but if we did in would love it if the season ticket holders organized a boycott and all agreed to not resell their tickets but also dont show up for the game. An arena with about 4000 people on it would send a pretty damn clear message to the owners.

Ducks are 0-7 last 3 weeks against everyone except Preds

But in 2 games vs Preds- 5 periods- the Ducks have completely dominated play in 4 of the 5 periods

I can’t even wrap my head around it- I get it- we aren’t a great team- but to be dominated by the 2nd worst team in the league- TWICE- is just mind boggling
