Phoenix just won. That makes us finish 19th in the league and 3 pts out of a playoff spot. If someone had told me this a few weeks ago I would have laughed.
I mentioned when we played Dallas that we would have to win that game to be in the playoffs. It was a must win game. If they had won that game in regulation, we would have been in the playoffs. Oh well. Maybe they didn't want to go to the playoffs but instead take it easy and play some golf...lol.

Or maybe Dallas wanted it just as much as we did. Game went to a shootout. Like i said, one lucky bounce goes our way in the third period... but of course no guarantee the rest of the games would have gone as they did for us or Dallas
^^^True but it would have at least given us a chance at the playoffs even if a slime chance. The loss to Dallas gave us no chance to get into the playoffs after that. Oh well. I do believe the Preds gave it their best effort to win that game though, especially in the second and third period. Just came up short in OT like you said. Maybe next year.

No such thing as a moral victory in my book. It will set in next week when the Preds are not in the playoffs for the 2nd straight year.
Nice to see the guys finish the way they did. Something must of happened. I have never seen a Preds team look so loose and having fun.
Guess we will find out this week!

Awesome way to end the season!! Seven goals in back to back games, I think I heard them say we've never done that (14 goals in 2 games) in our history! 
The nice elbow to Weber's face is what set him off.
People always have an excuse for when their team loses to Nashville. It can't possibly be that little ole Nashville actually was better that night than your perfect team.
And as always, Suck it Suter.

yeah, playoff teams with "nothing to play for" often lay an egg in games like these, but I can't imagine that the plan was to blow their goalies confidence heading into the playoffs…
And what is our prize for doing that? Congrats! You now have the 11th pick in the draft instead of the 6th or better.
With that said I am happy with the way they played down the stretch but you can't really look into that last couple games all that much. The Wild and the Hawks had nothing to play for so those two blowouts mean little imo.

#12 pick. One less point and the Preds would be picking at 10. Good thing for those ROW

It was a bit more than that. I saw it right away on the Wild broadcast: He drew blood. There was a cut on Shea's right cheek, and Cooke apparently opened it - and it was incredibly obvious.
The homers on FSN North didn't even say anything, of course.

What's the prize in losing out? Oh yeah a 6th overall pick who could end up as much of a bust as the 11th pick. I just don't get the tank mentality.
