Post-Game Talk: Thrash/Jets @ Preds

[triggrman]

Rinne needs to keep his stick on the ice better, for a big goalie he let's in so many on the ice goals between the pads.

 

[Enoch]

I just don't know what to say anymore.

 

[preds1]

Why is that they can go down and score when we can't.

Net front goals vs. unobstructed perimeter shots.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

If you are blaming Rinne you are watching a different game than I am. One a point blank on the PP, one a high deflection on the PP, 3rd a deflection off the Dman stick on a break away.

Rinne is not the problem tonight.

I'm not solely blaming Rinne...though we would have an entire thread devoted to Hutton not being an NHL goaltender if this was him. Great scoring chances or not, have to do better than stopping 10 of 13. World-class goaltenders need to do that.

You know this team is bad when my East team looks better lately.

My East team is the Toronto ****ing Maple Leafs.

The third I'll say he probably could have, the other two are goals 99% of the time on any goalie in the league.

 

[TootooTrain]

Shocked they didn't give Ribs a roughing penalty considering how this game as gone.

 

[Byrddog]

Everyone keeps focusing on the scoring, but I still maintain that our inability to keep the puck OUT OF THE NET is just as big an issue if not MORE of an issue.

If we had allowed 20 fewer goals like we did last year at this same time in the season, we would be sitting pretty in the standings despite the offensive problems.

This game is a perfect example- it should be a 0-0 game and we would still have an excellent chance of winning an ugly 1-0 or 2-1 type game- the types of games you have to win in this league. But instead the game is pretty much over.

When you are constantly giving up a goal every 5 shots or so the way we are doing tonight, you aren't going to win regardless of your offense...

I just could not disagree with this more- whoever the new coach is, he is going to have great talent on defense (quite possibly could be the most talented d in the whole NHL the next 2-3 year). Also set at goaltender IF Pekka returns to his old form (a big if at this point I admit).

But who exactly on on this team can't stand or undergo a system change?? If anything, some of the young talent we have at forward NEED A SYSTEM CHANGE. Smith, Wilson, Forsberg, Jarnkrok, heck even Stalberg- you think those guys are best suited for a Trotz-like system??? I think its just the opposite- a system change could be just what many of our forwards need............

We absolutely do NOT need to blow it up...........


This is a conversation we had when Trotz was fired. Now you are promoting Trotz hockey. Im confused...

Boy you are having a frustrating year.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Just enough time for us to lose 3-2.

 

[Armourboy]

Apparently the answer to Wilson is like 10 lol

 

[preds1]

Willy deserved that one.

 

[BonMorrison]

Whoopie.

 

[TootooTrain]

Willy! It's about damn time.

Let the floodgates open.

 

[Master Scheif]

Just wanna say Josi is fantastic. Had him in fantasy hockey the past two years and he is a joy to watch.

 

[INDhockeyfan]

OMG Wilson scored a goal

 

[BonMorrison]

Obviously the key is to have Hutton always be interviewed during the game.

#heythanksforhavingmeguys for hours.

 

[Byrddog]

So Wilson is not total trash hes just smoldering trash.

In before; better play by play than...

 

[PredsV82]

44 shots to finally score. .. cost me two points in the points game for nothing....

 

[Cashville]

Quite possibly the most frustrating Preds game I've watched in a couple years. Shots are 44-14 and we're losing 3-1. Nice play with Willy Beaman and Josi.

 

[Enoch]

Wilson has been the best predator player. The hate parade is out of control tonight.

 

[Armourboy]

Time for the empty netter

 

[Armourboy]

Told yah. Sad game.

 

[BonMorrison]

That was quite a push at the end there.
