A 5'9" winger who shoots right handed. Between him, Arvy and Rocco this could get confusing.

If he plays well enough to be confused with Arvy ... Home Run

Wingers? Watson is 6'4 and Smith is 6'1 and strong, but yeah we're pretty small there overall.

Yeah no idea why I left out Forsberg but I wasn't mentioning centers because they're typically bigger dudes.

The power play continues to just suck all momentum from this team. It's probably cost us at least 10 points in the standing this year.

who are these guys? they sure aren't the team I thought they would be. I hate hockey right now. and several of our players.
Well, there is no sugar coating/ no excusing/ no "finding a silver lining" in this one.
That was a pathetic, embarrassing, disgusting effort.
And the most disappointing and disgusting part of this game for me was this- the Preds scored the two quick goals early in the third and had all the momentum against a tired team that is on the back end of a back to back and had to travel.
But despite that, the Preds were outshot 11-8 in the final 16 minutes (and outscored 1-0).
8 shots on goal in the final 16+ minutes after scoring the two quick goals. And counting the empty net situation, that included about 6 minutes of playing with the man advantage
At the very least, the Preds should have been all over them in the final 10-15 minutes.
Completely inexcusable........
(The only bright side for me is because of the awful weather today we didn't make the trip up for the game- did not want to drive the 7 hour roundtrip in that weather- THANK THE LORD FOR THAT-lol)

Another game, another flat, emotionless performance.
Once again, they weren't happy with their performance against the jets, so how do they respond? With the same, flat, slow start.
In the first period, there was an icing on Florida. Vatrano slashed our player after the whistle. As everyone was skating back down the ice, Blackwell, in his first ever NHL game, was the only Predator to even respond to that. He just kind of hit Vatrano with a light crosscheck into the arms. There was no response from anyone else, and guess what happened in that shift off that ensuing faceoff? Vatrano scored.

I awoke this morning this in my head:
Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light; And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout, But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out.
What in G*d's name has happened to the team who in previous times we EXPECTED to make a late come back, knew that they could rise and overcome adversity?
Now this team is thin and fragile, it has no heart, no reservoir of soul.
Like Christmas, I'm looking forward to them not playing during the All Star break. Actually they are not playing now, so I must mean not even taking the ice.

In another time that post would have taxed the forum's profanity/vulgarity filter to keep up with my rage. But these guys don't deserve that passion from me.

we wake up this morning at 28-18-4.
….If we go 25-0-7 the remainder of the way we finish with the exact same record we finished with last year.
...that's right, we now have lost the exact number of games we lost last year (53-18-11). with 32 games remaining.
...pretty disgusting to me.

If we're going to compare to last season then let's do it a little more apples to apples. How many games lost to injury do we have this year vs. last? I mean hell we have had 3 of the top 6 out for about 1.5 months, most of that was concurrent.
The team is definitely not playing as well as last year but they were close before the injuries hit and still haven't managed to stride since Arvy/FF9 returned.

As awesome as the Central has been in the past few season we are this years version of the old Southeast. The fact that the Jets havent run off and buried us is amazing. That none of the Avs, Wild, or Stars are even threatening us is mind blowing.
I guess an optimist might think if ever there was a year to have a year like this, this is the year.
But I'm not an optimist so this sucks

McCarthy needs to go. There is no excuse for the pp to be so bad. I'm guessing he must have some serious goat pictures since Lavy has kept him on thru all his stops.
