GDT: My turn....So that game on ice is played today?

[darth5]

Ouch.

 

[wpgpreds]

Man I miss Rinne

 

[Enoch]

101 you will see that I actually made your very point.

And to further the comments on how purely statistical analysis is flawed - Hutton with only 2 ga, but one of the worst goals you will see in the nhl at a back breaking moment when we have the momentum

 

[glenngineer]

What happened to Bourque?

 

[INDhockeyfan]

Skinner scores. Hutton

 

[101st_fan]

Not a good goal for Hutton to let in but how the hell do we leave Skinner that alone? It's a trend of leaving dangerous goal scorers alone then letting them get the puck with time and space to pick their shots.

Sometimes the goalie is there to stop shots from a bad angle. Otherwise, no need to have a goalie.

 

[I Will Son]

I'm ready for next season. This one is long gone

 

[Phototropic]

Hutton handed a shutout on a silver platter and manages to turn it into a loss.

 

[NorthAlPredfan]

Suckage!!!!!!

 

[Predsfan78]

Fk. This one really stings.

 

[Dave is a killer]

at least we didn't get a point ... #suckforsam ... yeah I know, we aren't Buffalo/Edmonton bad

 

[Jarnberg]

You lose ability to criticize your goalie when you only score one goal. It's so easy to to blame goalies, defense, but the problem again, is on the other end of the ice.

That was so much better than the ones Maz let in over the past few games such as the one less than a minute after we scored last night? The very simple fact is both of our goalies let in goals at critical moments.

That said, Hutton's .920 sv% tonight and only two goals allowed probably gets him the next game given Maz's recent numbers.

Wrong. Maz should start the next game. He should have started this one.

 

[Jarnberg]

Who cares about who's in goal? We're tied for 26th in the league for goals for. Ahead of Florida, Calgary and Buffalo.

Yet here people are arguing about which backup should be starting.

 

[klt2001]

It came down to their goalie made stops while ours didn't.

 

[klt2001]

We had alot of shots to the net but just couldn't get it pass their goalie while theirs could.

 

[101st_fan]

This is the first time the Preds held the competition to 2 or fewer regulation goals in a game and lost since November 30. It's only the second time the team held the competition to two goals since December 15 ... a stretch of ten games including tonight. The defense and goaltending have this team needing 3+ per night for a chance to win.

Again, this team lost the even strength battle with glaring lapses factoring into both goals. Or ES goals for to goals allowed ratio sucks and we simply don't get enough power plays for that part of the game to counteract our poor ES play.

 

[101st_fan]

Wrong. Maz should start the next game. He should have started this one.

Based on what? His allowing 3+ goals in seven of his last eight starts? His two wins since dating to November 28?

 

[Predsfan78]

Alright we lost, let's move on. But if I had drink for every ES comment or stat every day on the boards - my liver will be gone.

 

[Montross]

The oh, woe is us, we gave up a goal so we're going to lose is a bunch of bovine excrement.

Yep. Couldn't agree more.

Oh wait.

 

[101st_fan]

Alright we lost, let's move on. But if I had drink for every ES comment or stat every day on the boards - my liver will be gone.

So you can't support the logic to start Maz?

Dude, your stats dont mean jack. He is playing better right now. Trotz probably needed to rest Maz this game.

 

[Jarnberg]

Again, goalies do not matter when you suck at scoring. It is good we brought the sandpaper and grit tonight though. That entertainment tax is collecting!
