stalberg still sucks

 

[TCD]

Kanes skating so well. Cant see that line not dominating as the game goes on esp with Bad Brad kicking ass too.

 

[mikita's helmet]

If we have a PP, we better score


...or else? (shrug shoulders)

 

[mikita's helmet]

The Chicago Blackhawks. Unable to ever hold a lead.

somehow they're still up 3 to 1 in this series.

Now with the darling......

Star in the making..Crawford cap casualty next year..

Nah, Stalgod is the only thing keeping Nashville alive with all his hits, he knows the Hawks are far to soft to handle his speedy hits and he shall overturn the series

 

[Pez68]

I would be interested to see how often each team led, or were tied.

I would be interested to see how often each team led, or were tied.

Well for the first two games the Preds held the lead throughout, since we won 4-3 in OT after being down 3-0 in the 1st game and I'm pretty sure we never had the lead in the 2nd game. I'm more concerned with who holds the lead at the end of the game. Ask the Wings about that after their game tonight.

 

[mikita's helmet]

Shit TCD, Brad almost had his 2nd.

Its not as interesting at the difference Darling has made in this series. 6 periods of goal free overtime hockey. 5 periods of shut down coming into a 3-0 game.

However, Darling has given up 3 goals in the minute after we score. That is either a feature of him, a feature of Nashville, over celebration, or coincidence. Amazing considering how many goals he has given up total, I think we are talking about 3 of 5 goals he has given coming in seconds after we score.

I have a question for the dialed in minds here. What is your guess to the reason for Rozy-Keith pairing? In a blackhawk bubble we can make theories, but what is it about the Predators that leads to this? I'm guessing someone old or slow is on the Preds 1st line. Or someone young and fast is on the fourth. They are protecting Rozy, but what is the reason?

And is it funny if the reason is Stalgod?

 

[ClydeLee]

"Never a bad play to get the puck IN the net" stellar advice

 

[Pez68]

Protecting him with a Norris winner is my guess. Same reason Seabrook and Timonen are together.

 

[ClydeLee]

I think that was Richards shouting, CALLING THE FUCKING ICING

 

[Raskolnikov]

I never noticed how big Richards is, seeing him next to Bickell was impressive even being ALMOST as big as bigfoot is pretty cool. With Vermette, and Rozy increased minutes, we are no longer a midget team and I like it.

No you wouldn't.

I think that is the Blackhawk reason. I just assume because we don't see it often their is a predator reason if anybody knows them well enough. Q does things sometimes that must be about the opponent more than about us.

 

[JosMin]

Am I too late for a little bit of dis'?

 

[mikita's helmet]

shoot the ficking puck! shit!

I'm sure it's always about both.
