Post-Game Talk: Preds vs Flames 1/4/24 7pm

Welp, the convalescent home formally known as Bridgestone Arena is clearing out.

Goal 5 was a full on break down by all the skaters.

 

[Armourboy]

I liked the part where Josi just skates backwards and doesn't really defend anything.

 

[sparkle twin]

Good lord, we just love giving up goals in the last minute of a period.

and less than 15 seconds apart.

 

[Armourboy]

Wonder if Josi will call one of his magical players meetings after this one so they can just keep doing the same thing that isn't working.

 

[ShagDaddy]

It’s too late in the season to start tanking now. Holy crap, they’re playing like garbage.

 

[drwpreds]

Man do we can give up some awful, awful goals or what??? Jeez

 

[Marty Party]

Somebody should yell, "Hey Paul! How much time is left!?" at 19:00 in the third.

Mainly lookin at the failed glove save here as a for instance.

The first one was well screened and well placed on a PK where the four skaters couldn't get a clear. The second one he makes the initial stop then Josi puts it in while trying to knock it out of the air behind Saros ... if it goes in or wide without Josi is pure speculation. The 3rd and 4th he definitely should have stopped. The 5th was what happens when there is a body unaccounted for on the far post.

 

[Marty Party]

32's time to hold the fort.

 

[101st_fan]

That "unstructured" time in space was because Saros was beaten at a bad angle to the far post and puck puck luckily stayed out. Then, Saros gives up a soft goal by not having his pad fully on the ice in the reverse VH.

The first one Saros never sees thru the screen. The second one is put in by Josi after Saros makes the initial stop. The videos are on the NHL game center.

Excusing the first and second goals are a poor take, at best. I'd give Saros a pass on one of the 3rd and 4th goals but can't let both in. The fifth goal was no fault of Saros, he might have fought the puck the whole period but did keep out what he had a chance at.

Josi on ice for all 3 "goals off the rush". First two he's out of position and Fabbro has to defend the left side of the ice, third one he was tired and did a lot of nothing.

Two top players that aren't carrying their weight tonight.

 

[Marty Party]

That counts!

 

[bdub24]

Le Big Mac!

 

[sparkle twin]

Big Sexy!! Ok, let's go!




That goal was almost exactly like James Neal vs the Blues in the 2017 playoffs!

Saros could have stopped all 4 of the first ones. Yeah there may have been some break downs but there were no crazy screens or bounces, no seeing eye puck, just basic saves that should be made.

I don't give a shit if he saw the puck or not. The reason he's was in the reverse VH is to seal off the ice from that exact shot. He didn't have his knee all the way down so his pad was up far enough for the puck to slide under. That is a mechanical problem, not a vision problem.

Saros could have stopped all 4 of the first ones. Yeah there may have been some break downs but there were no crazy screens or bounces, no seeing eye puck, just basic saves that should be made.

Oh, for sure, 3 and 4 were stoppable but a goalie will give up something so I feel like it fair to excuse one but not both.

I didn't excuse them. I said what happened on them without the hyperbole.

Josi not just on the ice for the second goal against ... he deflected it in the net for the Flames. It's obvious what he tried to do but the execution went horribly wrong.

 

[bdub24]

What’s a Vladar? Like a super awesome Russian radar that doesnt work?

You're willing to excuse the most inexcusable ones that went in. Interesting.

Yeah, "one" of the open shots from the mid slot I can forgive.

That is still one of my all time favorite Preds goals

You're giving him full blame for one Josi taps in behind him but excusing him letting in an unscreened shot. SMDH.

Whether Josi makes that go in or not is debatable. The fact there was a rebound at all is the problem.
