GDT: Game 45: Predators @ Oilers - 2 PM - Sportsnet

[JeffSkinner53]

RNH just does everything right

RNH and Hyman for 11 mil is amazing

 

[RattsSSV]

f*** off with that shit Jack

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Tight checking game at EV with Predators dominating face-off dot. Story is special teams with PP cooking and PK shutting down. Stack Line has only been okay but 2 PP goals the difference.

Thank god Toronto is sooooo dumb.

top line getting torched

shake it up Knob

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Why does Debrusk say nullifying a scoring chance is an auto call.

 

[Sanchez]

Big save Skinner!!!

 

[walktheboulavard]

I worry about Holloways puck skills. his hands were always inconsistent, the injuries certainly didn't help.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

That’s enough of this fivesome.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Lol... no they have not let them play... they've called pretty much everything against Oilers... and not even half against Nashville.

 

[Sra1974]

Yikes first line

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Jack and Louie....f***. It's just crap.

 

[KCC]

EDM is still quite soft in their own zone at times and also have chances to get it out and they fumble it and it gets kept in. Need to clean that up.

 

[elmeroil]

Just shut your mouth Louie you're just coming across stupid!

[KarmaPolice]

Huge save by Stu. He's so dialed in. Love his compete this game.

 

[Green Xero]

Lol... no they have not let them play... they've called pretty much everything against Oilers... and not even half against Nashville.

Disagree, we've gotten away with a few in this game as well..

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Yikes first line

Ya they are always a tire fire in their own end when playing together. I'm just not a fan of it.
This better not be long term.

 

[McShogun99]

Thank god Toronto is sooooo dumb.

Their fans are just going to love the Nylander contract….

 

[KCC]

Lol... no they have not let them play... they've called pretty much everything against Oilers... and not even half against Nashville.

I think that was true in the first period but since then I haven't really seen too many penalties since then.

 

[TheNumber4]

Great call by Jack. Economy of movement, that’s exactly what’s great about Stuuuu

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Finally at home to put this on, don’t feel like reading over the last 25 pages when the game started, how’s Big Worm looking?

 

[EnufAlready]

Brown has zero luck. Even when he sets up plays they dont go in

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Janmark is done with scoring. Brown rubbing off on him.

The only thing that matters is winning in the playoffs. Winning the President's Trophy and having a first round exit is a forgettable season, just ask the fans of those teams.

You can use an example of a Cinderella run in a one off absurd playoff format to try to refute my argument but most hockey fans would agree with the sentiment that playoff success determines whether a team is seen as legit or not.

I understand having a soft spot for the Nucks as you live there, but it's okay for other fans to want to see them do something in the playoffs before declaring them legit while they're riding on crazy shooting percentages and high PDO. Particularly after they were a nothing team for the 10 years prior (after being a legitimate Cup threat for a few years with the Sedins et al)

It's not even about having a soft spot. It's about not being able to comprehend what constitutes a legit team each year if success in the season means nothing. Basically the argument seems to be you have to win a round. Then you can be considered legit that year. I don't understand this arbitrary line.

How you could look at a team like the Bruins and shake your head blows my mind. Teams getting unlucky in the playoffs or running into a hot goalie don't suddenly make them not that good.
