It's actually insane how bad this team is at scoring goals.

And no, I refuse to believe every forward on the roster sucks. HC and co need to change something up. When one or two guys are struggling, it's a them problem. When the entire team score less than my wet farts, we have a coaching problem.

Funny enough, their scoring has imploded as their possession metrics have improved. That, along with the dmen holding up relatively well with their point production, tells me that we are focusing wayyyyy too much on cycling on the outside and funnelling from the point to get whatever to the net. Ya, it's a boring and safe style of game that can grind out some wins and prevent odd-man rushes against, but the product is f***ing unwatchable and we need perfect goaltending as well because you aren't going to score that way in the modern NHL. You need to get the goalie moving, and the team has once again fallen out of the habit of trying those royal road passes (that funny enough we were getting early in the year).

Immovable object (flames road record) vs unstoppable force (Preds losing streak) clash tonight folks.

I'll say 5-2 or 5-3 for Nashville. I know 2-3 goals for may be a bit optimistic but I'm a glass half full kind of fella.

If there's any consolation to us we could be fans of the Preds with their shitty chants

 

[Straight Fire]

Good kill.

And then quickly

 

[Bounces R Way]

Bahl and Rooney nowhere to be seen in the slot when Ras goes to the corner.

 

[Boomstick]

Well, just walked in, put on the game and not 6 seconds later Preds score.
Figures.

We're pretty good slump busters, so I expect a bunch of Preds to break their slumps tonight.

 

[Straight Fire]

They're beating up Zary where's the response?!

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Take a drink every time Kuzmenko passes up a great shot to do a between the legs move that doesn’t work, if you dare

 

[Felidae]

No way that's not GI right?

Wow really? He got pushed into the net, surprised that wasn't challenged. Not that I'm complaining lol

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

No way that's not GI right?

No one knows anymore

 

[Boomstick]

Are we on the board? Hmmm hope so.

 

[Straight Fire]

f*** off c'mon let's get a few back now

 

[Boomstick]

Wow

 

[Straight Fire]

Janks is still playing wow

 

[Bounces R Way]

Least Marty is back to crashing the net. Been a lot better the last couple weeks.

On the other hand this Bahl-Ras pairing has been ass for the last month

 

[Felidae]

Janks is still playing wow

What a throwback, I remember when he was briefly on Jagr's line and they played a pretty good cycle game. the board seemed pretty high on him at the time.

I remember when he scored 4 goals in one game for us.
Feaster is still waiting for him to develop into the best player in that draft.

Because he's so tall some hopeful projections for him. But he never delivered super well - wishing him the best still.

He had the widest turns the other way I've ever seen. Fellow could not turn on a dime let's just say.

Also softer than baby poop even after putting all the weight on.
Still.. not surprised someone found some use for him though.

 

[Felidae]

Absolutely crazy that in this high scoring era, our league leader in points has 18 points in 29 games. That's a 51 point pace.

I only checked the leaders for teams that score less than the Flames. But theirs have more points than ours. We may have the lowest team leader in points.

 

[Figgy44]

Wow. How it flop on the blue paint and stay out like that. Lol.

 

[Straight Fire]

Surprised rhar stayed out
