GDT: Game 51: Nashville Predators @ San Jose Sharks. 7:30 PM

[Hodge]

Is there a team with a bleaker medium-to-long-term outlook than the Predators?

Only good players are on the wrong side of 30, zero good prospects, a half dozen horrendous contracts.

They're basically where the Sharks were five years ago.

 

[karltonian]

so uh let's start the game again shall we?

 

[tahoesharksfan]

Sheesh, what was all that?

Pittsburgh?

 

[StrawHatEklund]

Okay, we have them right where we want them? 5-2 comeback instead of 5-1 from Tuesday?

I hope they don’t let me down in the 3rd so we can reverse comeback the Preds. Looking promising so far.

 

[matt trick]

Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh likely going to be entering a tank just in time for McKenna and Dupont. Realistically just Dupont as I can’t imagine they tank with Crosby and Malkin, but maybe.

Yes, The Lightning.

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

Yes, The Lightning.

I’d argue the penguins

If they wanted to the Penguins could get a great return for Crosby and Malkin and be at the front of the line for McKenna and Dupont.

But the Predators can't rebuild even if they want to. Who's giving up assets for Forsberg or Saros on those contracts let alone Stamkos, Skjei or Marchessault?

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Doug Houda was always a loser, regardless of being the Bruins SCC team,

 

[karltonian]

thrun f***ing sucks

 

[Shut Yer Five Hole]

Stamkos does it and the Sharks get called. Thrun does it and....the Sharks get called

 

[SJSharksfan39]

It looks like they missed another holding the stick call on the Sharks.

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

Doug Houdas answer all but confirms the coaching problems lol

 

[Shut Yer Five Hole]

Big kill. Now score some (more) goals

 

[karltonian]

liljagren is such a fumbler

smith takes bad lines in the d zone, always ends up on the wrong side of the guy

OK BEANIE TIME TO CLUTCH IT UP

 

[hohosaregood]

[karltonian]

what the f***ing f***

 

[Lebanezer]

Goodrow leading by example.

Preds have the elusive retention slots so those trades are very doable and likely landing first rounders

 

[tahoesharksfan]

Hard to win when you’re continually short…

 

[Pavelski2112]

What a stupid play by Goodrow

 

[karltonian]

asky has to eat more pucks

 

[drunksage]

f*** f*** f*** f*** f*** f***

 

[karltonian]
