Awe yeeeeaahhhh!

Feel bad for Ottawa but if you lose like that to Toronto when everything's on the line you don't deserve playoffs.

screw Ottawa. Like I care about them. If I had to pick a team to make it in that race it would be Florida. Either way, Oilers matter first and this helps the Oilers.

Also, the Leafs actually have a good home record, and quite a few home games remaining. Maybe they can stay ahead of us.

This'll be their rallying point for the rest of the season. No way we catch them now.

Dubnyk with yet another solid game... saves 31 out of 32 shots... Minny throttles LA 4-1.

He's now let in 3 or less goals for 30 straight games and has a 94.3% save percentage over those 30 games.

Pretty impressive numbers and should actually get some Vezina and Hart votes.

cant believe the air time these morons gets and were forced to listen to with the new HNIC on Sportsnet. Kypreos and now Corey Hirsch... like, who's decision is it to make these clowns analysts/commentators? I feel bad for Friedman. Are these guys seriously the best they can afford to put on broadcasts? This is a national TV program... you watch MLB, NFL, NBA... their national and even local broadcasts in many cases are just littered with HOF's and credible analysts. NHL? Not so much.

Feels like the Oilers OBC. All of these ex players get down on their luck post retirement so they get gifted jobs.

Corey Hirsch... Seriously? This guy washes out as a player, then washes out as a coach and in under a year is one of the main analysts for the biggest night in hockey of the week? What ever happened to having to pay your dues. As you said... this is the best that Rogers can offer? They paid billions and billions of dollars for the rights to the games and provide the absolute worst analysis you're going to see in any pro sports anywhere.

Of course the Preds start Carter Hutton today.

and naturally he's terrible. Easy two points for Calgary.

Just disgusts me. **** the Preds. Somebody explain to me how they've lost EVERY game to Calgary this season.

Anybody?

Its this kind of thing that is absolute garbage and makes the league a joke. One of the top teams in the league losing perennially to a team that shouldn't even be in the race.

This is textbook Preds throwing games in the hope that the Kings won't be in the playoffs. Hutton was just ****ing abysmal in net.

With a win the Preds would have moved into 1st in the league. Instead, they now sit 3rd, and more importantly, behind Anaheim.

Do you honestly believe they would throw this game? Really?

That's rich.

They started Hutton who was predictable garbage. Haven't beat the Flames all year and have looked bad in every game.

But yeah, I think teams like this would rather see Flames than LA getting in the playoffs.

Maybe you can explain why a club that is drastically better on paper is getting owned by the Flames.

lmfao that the Flames are the 5th highest scoring G/G team in the league. Look at your lineup and wonder whether that's legit or teams just not bothering to play well against them. This is one of the worst forward lineups I've ever seen in my life in terms of talent. But somehow teams are letting these clowns fill the net game after game. Bouma was allowed to walk right into the crease through the entire preds team today on the first goal which is pretty much all I had to see. Everything but the red carpet on that one. Really lol at all the Flames goals in this one. Its like the Preds dressed a clown show.

This Hawks/Jets game is great. Winnipeg when they're on look beastly. Very similar to the Kings but a little more creativity in their play. They just scored a beautiful SHG. Playoff hockey here.
