GDT: No Craps Left to Give GDT: Preds @ Jackets 2/18/21

[NoNecksCurse]

On the bright side, being shut out increases the chance of a firing. That's the kind of catalyst needed when a coach is already (reportedly) on the heat seat.

We really out shot them in the 3rd period. Results will come. Surely.

 

[Osprey]

What's really sad is that the team hadn't played since Saturday and, thus, had extra rest, extra time for meetings and analysis of what they're doing wrong and, especially, extra time for practice. All of that was put to such good use that the team was shut out by a team that's averaging almost 3.5 goals against per game.

 

[Aardvarksson]

Congrats to Arvy

 

[Kat Predator]

McCarron should sit. I haven't really seen him do anything useful in this game.

He's playing because the forward line blender spit out his number. (Great coaches rely on blenders, you know.)

 

[Armourboy]

Glad I didn't waste my time

 

[PredsV82]

With the boards permission I will keep doing GDTs until Hynes is fired. I have never done the GDT for a win.

Congrats to Arvy

That’s embarrassing.

 

[Kat Predator]

It is (past) time to let Benning eat peanuts in the press box and play Carrier.

I approve

 

[LeighDx59]

I mean, thats was just frustrating to watch. I would love to see what Carrier has to offer, we know what Benning/Tinordi/BoroCop brings.

All in favor say “I”

I actually thought that was our best game in a while.. the effort was there and we generated enough to score a couple but when nothing's going for you, nothing's going for you. The unlucky bounces on the Columbus goals were the epitome of the whole night.

 

[PredsfanJC]

So effort wasn't the problem last night. In truth Columbus probably should have won the game 1-0, but they got the two fluky goals. The issue is definitely coaching and lack of adjustments, I'm not quite sure I've ever heard announcers be so blatant and critical of their home team, rightly so.

Did we listen to the same broadcast?

Please and thank you.

I used the randomizer to predict our lines next game.

1. Tolvanen / Jarnkrok / McCarron
2. Cousins / Duchene / Grimaldi
3. Kunin / Sissons / Arvidsson
4. Trenin / Haula / Granlund

The randomizer benched Fil. Sounds about right, actually.

Bonus:
And the next lineup is

1. Trenin / Duchene / McCarron
2. Tolvanen / Sissons / Forsberg
3. Grimaldi / Haula / Arvidsson
4. Jarnkrok / Malone / Kunin

Whereas Jonesey is like:

It's even better when I forget there's a game and don't pick anyone.

I'll be back to work Monday so I'll have an update then.

Two great sayings regarding this -

-Good fortune smiles upon the prepared

Is it bad that I'm trying to find the most LULZ worthy trade for Granlund.

My 'Best'

Granlund -20%
Tinordi

for

Pierre Engvall
Jimmy Vesey (oh, so you don't want to play for the Preds?)
Jason Spezza (See above. Oh, you are going to retire? Thanks for the cap space!)
Mikko Lehtonen (Didn't... you play for the Preds before? Oh. Different guy. I was gonna say, You are looking young.)

Well I will say this... of all those players... if Lehtonen doesn't re-sign with the Leafs in the off-season, and if we don't think Farrance would be ready to step right in with the big team, then I'd consider signing Lehtonen in the off-season as a UFA, anyway.

Tinordi doesn't re-sign

That guy can really skate, the first Leafs game I watched this year I kept seeing this defenseman out there skating around everyone, real quick, real smooth, so much that it stood out. I was surprised when I looked up the number and it was a new player Mikko Lehtonen (which is an older NHL player, and yet another even older NHL player who skated a few games with the Preds once upon a time.)

If I was the Preds coach; McCarron and Duchene sit out the next game, maybe more games!
Put Olivier in McCarron's wing spot when he can play. He would have been throwing some hits last night. Columbus must have outhit the Preds 2-1. Trenin can be the center. Forsberg plays.

Grimaldi and Sissons looked like the most effective forwards last night. Put them together. Who knows, maybe Nashville will score some goals? Grimaldi looked like he was wearing Acme Rocket Skates last night. If Richard plays with those two, you will have a Speed Line!
I would rather have a healthy Olivier with those two, to look out for them on the ice.

Tinordi still goes after big checks and abandons the goal and goalie to do it. He sits and Carrier plays. Carrier will improve both the offense and defense for Nashville. The Preds have 8 Dmen on the roster, but I only trust five of them. That needs to be fixed!
