Game ops has taken a big step back this year. The goal song had a glitch in the middle for the first 2 months of the season.

amazing. considering all we do on our horrid PP is feed the point for one timers.
The guy who had been in charge of game ops since the beginning died in September. I'm sure it has been a challenge to replicate all his knowledge. I'm giving them a pass for the time being. It has improved over the beginning of the season, IMO. Longtime WSMV employee Mark Ford dies

the "Offical" NHL stats on shot attempts are strange looking for us.
per those:
..we are 7th in total shots on net.
but the official breakdown of what type of shots those were is really unusual looking:
..3rd in wrist shots
..21st in backhand shots
..23rd in deflections on net
..30th in slap shots on net
..27th in snap shots on net
..19th in tips on net
we are 6th in the league in most missed shots (which certainly feels right)
..3rd in number of times we have hit the crossbar on misses
..but 26th in shots that hit the posts (that cann't be accurate)
..3rd in number of misses high (which i believe)
..9th in number of shots wide (which also is believable)
i'm trying to analyze what all this data says about our players. but i'm having a tough time.

Yeah definitely an improvement as the season has progressed. I mentioned it in the GDT but there was one sequence last night (Goat + Black Betty) where my ears were ringing for a couple of minutes after. Could definitely tell by seeing reactions of those around me that it wasn't just me. It's ok to have some timing glitches and such but they really need to be careful not to overdial the volume. People shouldn't have to wear ear plugs to a hockey game due to volume instability.
These top two can coexist. Crossbar just means we're hitting the top frequently (which aligns with your other stat saying 3rd highest with high misses). Posts are just measuring the left/right side of the metal. I guess when the Preds miss wide (9th) they really miss wide (hence 26th on the posts).

Also, what’s up with “We Built This City (On Rock and Roll)” as the intro song? For one, it is the worst song in the history of songs. Secondly, this city was NOT built on rock and roll (duh). I completely don’t get it. It’s awful.
They all need glasses so they can actually hit the net a bit better.

Forsberg, despite not playing for 2 games, is 4th for misses league-wide.

There have been several games in the last month where several of us put our fingers in our ears..... it's ridiculous.
It's worthless giving feedback to the preds......there's no one who really cares about the details anymore. Oh and going to fan relations is a joke
I probably am, but theres a chance of rust when these guys come back and they probably wont be fully recovered, just healthy enough to play the games. Always have to take things like that into consideration when players come back from IR.

We have the aim of a 4 year old boy that hasn't mastered aiming while standing to pee yet.
Its shameful. I mean if they're saying we built Smashville on rock n roll...I guess? But we're home to Jack f***ing White for f***s sake! Lets play some actual f***ing rock n roll!
Forsberg shoots for the corners and therefore will miss the net occasionally, but he will also score more goals by attempting these type of shots. I venture to say that he is probably the lowest in hitting the opposing goalie in the chest or pads as many other non scorers do.

I'm sorry, but the most perfect intro song ever is Thunderstruck. Yes, it's used in arenas all over world. Yes, you sound like every other team if you use it. But that's because it's the best intro song ever. Nothing can get you hyped like that song, and I'm not even an AC/DC fan.

no telling what happens tonight, but I am looking forward to it. sort of reminds me of the underdog days when we had to win on guts, effort, defense and goaltending.

I think the Lightning have that one on lockdown. They really get into it there, with the Tesla coil going, it's really cool.
If we don't want to do a country thing, Dave Mustaine lives here now so we could maybe use something from Megadeth. Or possibly Pantera, even though they're the Stars' band, they did record Far Beyond Driven in Nashville at Jerry Abbott's studio.
Speaking of ‘best’. Glitter needs to pass on. I’m ready for some rock and roll 2 goal song action again. So much better than gold on the ceiling.

Next game I believe. It's obvious the Preds have lost quite a bit of faith in him.

Hey! You suck!
I think it has less to do with Saros and more to do with the team in front of him atm.
