I guess the good news is that Nashville was much, much busier than the Avs this offseason and also don't have a single win to show for it.

Ducks extremely orange uniforms definitely don't look as good on the ice as they did on the drawing board, but still way better than the garbage they wore previously. The owner just needs to suck it up and switch back to the original colors.

It's only fitting they make their team wear prison highway trash collecting uniforms, just saying.

I actually have a soft spot for Anaheim. When we started to suck they took over the job of pissing off Detroit in the Playoffs. Detroit beat them, but had to go through hell to do it. Those were always fun series lol.

Same… but that won’t stop me from making fun of Anaheim.

Raise your hand if you're surprised that Stamkos has 0 point in 4 games in Nashville.

Dudes almost 35 and playing with ass centers now. I’m not surprised he doesn’t look good.

It’s been obvious for a couple years in Tampa. They hitched him to different groups where he was the third wheel and a trigger man. Do that and he can still produce. If you expect him to drive a line, or even close… you’re disappointed.

As always, it's smart to let your older players walk when they still put up big numbers and can ask for a lot of money.

 

[PAZ]

I called it earlier that Nashville made a lot of solid offseason signings on paper, but all their top players are over 30 and won't gel well together.

They're still a playoff team, but never understood the hype.

There are exceptions though like Crosby, Sakic etc

I think Tampa had enough offense even without Stamkos so they could afford to let him go.

Tampa replaced Stamkos with a better and more expensive player

I don't know that Nashville is still a playoff team.

They don't have the same elite talent like us outside of Josi to take over and win games, and with Utah improving and the Blues clearly looking to make the playoffs I can see the Preds missing.

Younger especially

Looks like Kingslayer beat you to it

 

[dahrougem2]

It feels like there are WAY more injuries this year - preseason included - than in year's past.

Don't tell him but I drafted Tage this year again. I went through that nightmare last year with him as well

 

[Valushkin]

I didn’t realize Preds don’t have a win yet. Chemistry is a thing. Pick up all those players which on paper look great but can’t win yet

Just noticed that Bura was playing for the Kraken tonight. That's good to see after all the health issues he had.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Man Calgary might make the playoffs.
