Doesn't seem like stepping up in the playoffs holds much weight to management.

Go ahead foot
Each is boss of their own clique. So it makes sense each had an A as each represents half of the players.
Either that or they aren't assistant captains and the letters just are warnings. "A is for Antisocial"

Been awhile since we saw a team this dysfunctional. Rutherford going public did not help. I understand the interview and why he did it but there is a thing as being too honest
absolutely crazy that with the injuries, the Miller leave of absence, the Miller-pettersson drama and negative impact of Juulsen and Desharnais a win tonight puts them back into the wild card spot. Not quite by pt% but they would be behind Calgary by 0.001 (0.561 vs 0.560).
There is a decent team underneath the drama and mess on the back end.

Fighting for a WC#2 spot. Real progress. Making the playoffs is now worthy of a parade.
The players try their best to the most part.
The GM gives the coach what he wants for a group. The coach decides the line ups, roles, system and ice time allotment.
The Preds have won 7 of their last ten games and 5 of 6 last home games.
Team turmoil has won their last two.
Boeser has good games against them.
Another game to try to get the WC2 spot. Which team shows up?How many in a row can Lankinen play because he has been instrumental in their wins, almost stealing them.
I didn't say it was worthy of a parade or real progress. I simply said that despite all the crap that has happened that somehow the team has in some manner tread water. It's not a pat on the back worthy or anything. Far from it. But it is an indication of the underlying talent and capability of the roster.
Lankinen also hasn't really been stealing wins. He's played well but ultimately not spectacular. He's been solid but he isn't putting together a season even remotely worthy of Vezina consideration for instance (he's pretty much smack dab in the middle of goaltenders who have played 15 or more games on any stat..."normal" or advanced). Compared to Demko and Silovs he's been all world but not compared to the rest of the league.
Said this in another thread, I really feel it could get pettersson going. Less defensive responsibilities frees him up to just go out there and score, this way him and JT can figure it out plus he's not wasting away on the 3rd line.
Nashville, a team filled with old has-beens that should be doing a full rebuild. Istead of trading Forsberg, Josi and Saros while they still have value they waste another year.

Edit: I will bet that means Hoglander is scratched again

We need Juulsen to spill some crackers on the floor so he has to pick em up...
Anyone with insider access that could lube up his crackers and save the season?

I know a great place for food, buddy.
Ever heard of King George Pizza?
Juulsen should be sent to Langley, working at the kiosk at Willowbrook Mall.

Demko starts...
Gotta think the management doesn't want to allow three wins in a row after the Day of Interviews yesterday.
I wouldn't want to have to answer to the media of why Juulsen gets back into the line up either.
