Nashville Predators Talk - 2024/2025 Season

[Bringer of Jollity]

No issue with wanting ZLH to answer the bell, but the Wild are sounding a bit Vancouver Canucks facing Steve Moore about this. He also shouldn't be expected to go go with a guy that he gives up 4-5 inches and 30+ lbs to (e.g. Foligno).

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

That's all good with me. The ZLH play was a bit reckless, but if they want to get carried away dwelling on it, so much the better. I just hope it doesn't distract them TOO much.... we still need them to win the game, after all!

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Oh, should have known, it's a Russo article. Complete homer hack that loves stirring up drama. Huge shock.

Is Kaprisov going to be in the line up? Maybe Zach can go with him since he never answered the bell for his bullshit hit. f***ing dumbass "writer".

 

[Scoresberg]

Jesus, what a bunch of f***ing babies the Wild are. I wonder if they'd talk the same way if a guy like Tom Wilson would've done the same ZLH did.

For all the shit that takes place in the game that's the one they call out for.. come the f*** on..

For the record, and for the good of the game, I do not want the Preds to get in the top 4 of the draft. We dont know what we are doing with the talent we have, why ruin yet another promising career?

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

This is a great learning experience for ZLH. It will help him to realize just how easy it is to get under the skin of these old "code warrior" types. He can take that to the bank and make them cry even harder. The best way is going to be to turtle when Foligno comes after him, then laugh and taunt him from the penalty box, then let Schenn or McCarron intercept whoever comes for him next while pretending somebody is holding him back, laugh at them, run the goalie a few times for good measure, go down like he was shot when he gets the lumber in front of the net. And do a nice celly if he scores a goal. Yapping all the way. Really rub it in. He will definitely "learn his lesson".

Is everybody up in arms about this one too? I don’t pay attention to Edmonton or LA fans.

It was pretty minimal slewfoot. Much less dangerous than one by ZLH. And McDavid scored on ensuing 4 on 4 (one of Oilers jumped Kings player who did it), so that combined with him not getting hurt kinda takes sting off for Oil.

I’ll never agree what ZLH did was an intentional slewfoot. It was an off balance bad position on both players headed to the boards

I doubt he went in thinking "I'm gonna slewfoot this guy and careen him into the boards" but it was definitely reckless and inadvisable IMO.
