Yep, will never understand why teams think they should play a double minor or major in slo-mo.

The 'be patient' thing where you're trying not to lose the puck and waste time seems to ironically waste time. Same thing goes with being too careful on the 5-on-3.

And what sucks is it's easy to see when you're watching, but even at the levels I've played at it's a thing, all mental :laugh:
 
Teams need to understand that you have to knock out the ducks when you have them on the ropes. Oilers didn't do it in game 7. Nashville didn't do it in game 4. They better wake up and realize quickly that you can't give them anything.

Hard to do without your top 2 centers playing though, think how the Kings played in the stretch run this year.

Preds are in trouble, not hard to see this coming. Preds barely skating.

The Preds can't get anything going. 6 shots halfway through the game...SIX! That missed op on the 5 min major was a killer, not generating any momentum .Bernier was shakey and they let him off the hook.

True, but they need to take advantage of the ducks missing Rakell, and now Ritchie, and especially Gibson. Also should have really put the pressure on on their 5 min PP. These are the cracks you have to take advantage of even with a depleted team.

Well, Ritchie ain't that great and how hard is it for you goalie just seeing 6 shots. Losing Rakell hurts but he preds are in far worse shape. Imagine trying to stop Getzlaf and Kesler with Dowd and Shore.

Exactly. They did worse than nothing with the 5 min pp. 1 goal would've been huge. Do the Preds ever dump and chase or do they think they can just skate it in, because its not working .
 
Bernier, man. I know there is a lot going on in front of the net there, but he just knocked the puck right back on to the Preds stick.
 
You guys need to stop early celebrating. These guys were losing by three goals with three minutes left. Not close to over.
 
Man, 3-2, Nashville better hold on. It's gonna be tough when the Ducks start taking all the chances.

Yep, Preds getting totally outplayed. Calling a win for them is silly at this point.
