Welcome to becoming the Devils 2.0

 

[DancesWithWookies]

I'm really tired. I thought you said you need to execute a minor child.

Probably wouldn't help to sacrifice a child to the hockey gods though.

Have a good night.

Nashville has always had somewhat disappointing offense compared to the other contenders, they were contenders for a long time without a true 1C. They lost their best forward for the year.

They'll be fine. They'll figure everything out.

 

[CupInSIX]

Leafs and Preds should trade coaches

 

[snag]

But Calgary's not there until February 27th...

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Devils will take Lavi in a Nashville hot minute.

 

[the_fan]

Everywhere Duchene goes things start to fall apart. Coincidence?

 

[hirawl]

They'll be alright.

As a Jet fan I am not ready to give up on the Preds, They were the better team against the Jets but still lost. Still think both the Preds and Jets are PO teams and would not be surprised if one of these teams make it to the finals. Talk to Blue's fans at this time last year about giving up on their team before they go on a run to win the cup. If the Preds are still playing like this in February then call it that they are a loss cause. Right now way to early to give up on them.

The team, the coaching staff and maybe even Poile himself have all become complacent.

Nothing has felt right since the loss to the Jets in the second round a couple years back.

Granlund and Smith could fetch a good return at the deadline, would be nice if they could move out Turris as well because he doesn’t really have a good fit on the roster. I don’t see them rebuilding in any capacity due to the amount of guys on long term deals and so many of those players being prime aged. Coach swap could do the team wonders.

I feel like Nashville is the Minnesota like two years ago. Always been solid team and makes to the playoffs but never will win anything. Just something missing. Minnesota never had elite players just very great players and the same is going on in Nashville. They have many 50-60 points forwards and great defense and still good goaltending (not long time anymore). I think Nashville is not going better anymore they should fix something now if they wanna win (and I really hope they will win the cup). Maybe they need that one elite leader they don't have in forwards. Taylor Hall?

It's still a team sport and they could still win the cup and do the same as St Louis did last season. Also Islanders are doing great without any big names (still they have elite number one center). I just donate feel Duchene is winner and Granlund is doing awful too. They need to turn it around pretty soon.

Cancers seem to be a thing with 2 of the top 3 picks in 2009...

 

[phillydownsouth]

Y’all want AV for Lavy?

gladly take him back

 

[MrThomas]

Yeah that's true. Hmm wtf? Colorado was the worst team ever and then Ottawa and now Nashville?

I remember when just a while ago Duchene was happy for going to Ottawa because it was a great cup contender unlike Colorado. Well look those teams now. And that was like 1-2 years ago?

 

[Jeune Poulet]

Locker room cancer.

Gotta love Nashville. They got rid of one and immediately acquired another.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Why was Kyle Turris a healthy scratch last night?

 

[Chiarelli]

Didn’t Duchene go there?

Window closes due to one lose

"Duchene is a locker room cancer, yadda yadda yadda..."

LMAO

You guys realise that Duchene had absolutely nothing to do with the Avs being bad, right? They drafted Duchene, Landeskog, MacKinnon all in the top-3 in a span of 4 years! This team was hella bad, with or without Duchene! Bad GM's, bad coaches. Personally, I blame Sacco & co. for those bad times! Duchene wanted out and was made a scapegoat, sure it affected the locker room. One guy publicly stating he wants out - but that's the way it is! No bad blood between former team mates, I suppose. Sakic took his time, locker room got divided - shit happens! I still don't see how this makes Duchene a locker room cancer.

I won't even discuss Ottawa! That team is a tirefire! Again, can't blame Duchene. Owner not wanting to spend any real dollars, Karlsson and Stone wanting out, Dzingel not replaced... while REAL "zero effort" guys like Ryan accomplished nothing and still made $6M a year! Talk about bad circumstances! Duchene played the best hockey of his career in Ottawa, despite the team being crap and everyone fleeing the sinking ship!

And now in Nashville... "we see the same thing happen again"... BOY! Aging core, bad goaltending, ZERO help from defense. Say what you say about Subban, but Poile didn't even bother to look a replacement for him! A rookie cannot be the answer, unless he's Makar or Hughes! Can't count on Fabbro being "the guy" just yet! Overall I think this team is underperforming right now, but I don't see how that makes Duchene a locker room cancer! What the hell mates?

As for Tavares! Two time CAPTAIN! Enough said! If you want to point fingers, point at Babcock and Matthews! Their personal feud is hurting this team! One has to go! Also can't underestimate the negative effect of removing a true FATHER FIGURE and a MENTOR for these young fellas, Patty Marleau, from this team! But not Tavares' fault, by any means!

Why was Kyle Turris a healthy scratch last night?

Because he's bad at hockey.

Such a bad take. Subban was never a cancer and Duchene has been solid.

Fabbro has been good, definitely no worse than Subban was last season. I believe you wouldn't find a single Predators fan who thinks Fabbro replacing Subban has been an issue in the slightest bit this season.

Lavi for Cooper. The trade is 1 for 1.
