GDT: Preds @ hot garbage

[ClassLessCoyote]

At least we didn't get 2 points.

 

[Etch]

Because they are fighting for jobs and don't give a rat's ass about the players in the draft being able to help out this team. It means one of them loses their job and big pay check if they're replaced. As fans we look at it one way, the players look at it completely different.

I obviously understand that side of it, but unless I'm Kyle Chipchura (who should lose his job anyway regardless of McEichel or not), or a pending FA... I'd be extatic at the prospect of getting the next Crosby. You mean all I have to do is lose a coupla games and then I still get my millions AND get to play with the next generational talent? Sign me up.

Just lose. Management should be hammering them in the dressing room right now for getting that point.

(This is kind of a joke post but kind of not really, I'm still just real mad about that game)

If we don't win the lottery, I'm going to lose it.

This draft basically means the franchise. (If you look at it the way I'm looking at it)

Oh absolutely.

 

[CC96]

Just the third time this season where we've had a string of 3 games where we let up 2 goals or less.

The good news is that the next team coming to town is the Blackhawks.

When was the last time someone who finished dead last got the 1st overall pick?

 

[Jakey53]

Gormley had an awful game. John Moore wasn't much better (assist aside).

Also? The Preds are amazing. Except for Ribeiro and James Neal. They suck ALL the ass.

Mike Fisher was playing like Carrie wrote a song about him.

That is all.

I won't comment on Gormley because I'm not a fan of his and everyone thinks he is the golden boy. I have to disagree about Moore. I thought he played his best game since the trade, but still, he has to do much better. The guy I want to talk about is Stone, who I thought played fantastic.

 

[Jakey53]

Just dropped by to say I think you guys have new #1 goalie. Wow. What a game by him.

I thought he played quite will too.

 

[NSHPreds1835]

Nice game by Domingue, I think he's got a bright future ahead of him with Arizona. Enjoyed getting to watch him play in Gwinnett.

I hate both Dave Tippett and Jim Playfair like so, so ****ing much.

Need to be madder at Nashville. They're the ones that didn't beat us in regulation. The tank was more Thomas the Tank Engine today.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

But we did beat them 3-2 last time we played them. They've only scored 2 goals in their last 2 games (EDM, NYR). Probably due for a 6-1 shellacking.

Sabres fan, here in peace. It doesn't matter, you tank for Eichel and if you hit the lottery it's a super gigantic bonus.

Stamkos, Tavares, Hall and Nugent-Hopkins were all to 30th place teams. The last 3 (Yakupov, MacKinnon and Ekblad) have all been to 29th place teams. One more year in that run before Bettman changes up his pattern. This bodes well for us.

 

[Mosby]

Alright, I'll continue my contrarian ways and say: I think Moore has been alright. Has shown some flash with the puck and has good speed. He's had several gaffes and it seems like each has ended up in the net. Maybe a bit of bad luck. Yandle started as a train wreck as well, and didn't turn it on until about the same age.

This. All the pieces are there. Now it's just a matter of putting it all together.

Agree

Gormley had an awful game.

I was on the "why is Campbell playing so much over Gormley" boat but now I see why Gormley played less than ten minutes.

Golden boy = Max Domi. Seriously, terrible stretches in the OHL = "he's out grown the league"

May I interest you in a trade?

 

[Jakey53]

The thing about Gormley is that I do not see flashes of him getting better. The best thing he can do is forget about this year and come to training camp, if he is even still here, on a mission. Get his confidence back and do something to impress the coaches.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

It really is time for Donnie to turn Gormley into something better. Also we had better not bring Campbell back either.

Turn to FA and go get another RHD that can play in a #4/5 spot so we don't have to have him back. C'mon Tipp, I know you can hear me, he's not good, get off the man-crush and get someone who's better.

Dahlbeck has been fantastic. Moore is off & on, pretty much a lesser version of what we traded him for.

I agree. I love Santa's game.

Moore is off and on and you said. So was Yandle. I think Moore will get better as he gets older.

Campbell does need to go. His services are appreciated and he hasnt played bad. Just doesn't fit our needs.

Gormley needs to be traded for a RHD or similarly struggling forward.

Campbell has surprised me with his play, not sure if he can do it for the entire year. I would wait until after next years training camp on Gormley. Maybe his play will turn a few heads instead of us .

Campbell does fit our needs, that is why he is playing.

Gormley for McIlrath or Gormley+ for Mayfield

I don't get the knocks on Campbell. He's done what's been asked and more. Perfect #7 Dman

I wouldn't wait that long. I'd move him at the draft with a pick to get a good veteran RHD.
