I hope you didn’t think I was serious.

I thought it was so ridiculous that the sarcasm was evident. This is HF though

 

[JohnStaymoose]

Glad this game is being played at a later time as I'll be at Little Mountain kicking off my Softball season opener. Stoked to play ball but more stoked to watch and cheer on our Jets.

The cilantro is strong in this one.

i was just about to ask you about your softball season and when and where it's kicking off!
hope you're doing well.

 

[bustamente]

Maybe an over reached but I think if we win on Thursday the series is eventually ours, going further blow them out and the series might end Saturday, again this is a very optimistic take.

yeah, you see why I was concerned...

 

[Shazzam]

I have a feeling that if Perrault is back, then it will be Rosie coming out. Hendricks won’t be out until Armia is back.

I hope you are wrong.

 

[HannuJ]

the crazy thing:
we're ahead in the series 2-1.
Laine and Connor and Ehlers haven't been a huge threat and scored.
If those guys wake up? we will pound Nashville.

 

[Adam da bomb]

I can see Hendricks staying in till they have another pker even though Little is more than capable of the job, has he even played any Pk minutes all season?

 

[Rheged]

I want the Preds to deal with this....

Ehlers-Scheifele-Wheeler (they looked electric, as they have before)
Connor-Stastny-Laine (this trio looked very good, Connor might create more shots for Laine)
Copp-Lowry-Tanev (torment the Johansen line)
Perreault-Little-Roslovic (terrifying 4th line match-up)

I'd love to see them try this but with Roslovic and Ehlers flipped... Wheeler and Scheif are gonna be great no matter what and ELP was dominant before.

Won't happen but it would be fun to see!

 

[Stogey]

I hope you are wrong.

So do I

This year Little played the 7th most short handed minutes out of the forwards with a total of 85 minutes. For comparison Armia had 90 minutes short handed. Don't think Maurice would have any issue giving Little more PK time. He's also put up very favourable numbers on the PK in the past. Not sure how he performed (by the numbers) this year on the kill.

I'd love to see the booing of PK stop. I get it, everyone hates him and that's fine, but booing him I think fuels him. He was booed mercifully in the first period and he scored a goal, he wasn't booed much at all in the 2nd, (granted he barely had the puck) but he did nothing. In the 3rd, the crowd started booing him again and he got a PP assist on the Forsberg tying goal. Obviously, I have no idea, but I think it might make him bare down.

I remember when the "Jordan's Better" chant led to an Eric Staal goal. The "Crosby's Better" chant led to an Ovi goal. I'm sure this has happened more than the two times I can remember, but I think good players love it and thrive on it.

Me too, I’ll be home from work at 9.

I was actually hoping we'd start cheering when he touched the puck after he got that penalty we capitalized on. I feel that would irk him. Either way you're not going to prevent the majority of people from booing when he touches the puck, so not much point in talking about it .

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Hendricks offers nothing, Roslo has gone silent which happens to kids playing 4th line roles with top 6 skill, just not a great fit for him there...just love how this team keeps winning even when they aren't performing to their best

We would be better off with Dano than Hendricks. Very clear to me - to the point where I can't see an argument. I understand coaches trust issues but this is night and day.

 

[Aavco Cup]

any word if Sh*t My Pants Watson got a call about his hit on Wheeler?

No hearing and rightly so. The minor was fine

Not sure where this narrative is coming from... It's almost like you only look at box scores. The Stats line as been producing a ton of chances in the Nashville series but have been unlucky. Saying they haven't been a threat makes me think you haven't watched the games.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Seems like Armia and Kylikov both in regular jerseys today FWIW

Good to hear Kuli is skating, regardless of jersey colour. I don't remember having heard of that before.

Third day in a row

I disagree. That hit looked extremely dirty and dangerous.

Roslovic’s rookie is showing. IMO he’s in the right role.
