I genuinely dislike the Twitter presence surrounding the Preds. The rush to claim we’re in first when it was impossible to end the day that way … the so and so has a better xg/60 than Forsberg while ignoring the glaring actual performance difference … the absolute lack of any depth of coverage. That includes the team, local traditional media, bloggers.
That is why I call them "Twits".
You would be hard pressed to find people who know less about hockey than some people on Twitter.
BTW, NHL.com shows Nashville in first place by one point over the Blues. They have both played 34 games.
I like seeing that the Preds are 8-1-1 in their last ten games, as is 3rd place Colorado. Vancouver is the only other NHL team that can match that record. Pittsburgh was 9-1 for the best record.
