Great period, but this should not be a 1 goal game

Same old story

Other goalie playing great, guys overpassing as usual.

4 PPs now. That is a jackpot for us with how many we usually get

I feel like this team is 70% of the way there but something is still off.
It is off. Everything isn't clicking or a well oiled machine. We have too many guys who cannot score (rnh, Skinner, Podz, etc)

Lets hope the PK gets better

McDavid is so back. You can see the difference in him the last few games - skating so fast with the puck, making second efforts in the offensive zone to get the puck back.
I still think that his stickhandling isn't at its best but he's definitely looking better.

What a pathetic display of finish. They have wasted 3 powerplays also. These idiots will have nashville come back and tie game when it should be over if they actually gave a f***

This is Bouchard, and RNH that are MIA. These 2 aces are anything but that on the PP. Both playing passive , lackadaisical hockey on the PP. RNH is regressing right b4 our eyes. Hes getting slower, softer, less on his wrist shot.

This team could be scary good if the PP ever normalizes to even close to what it's been for years.
Teams are having their guys play wider now. It's taking away Drai. Look how fast they go to McDrai when they are getting a pass now. They know it's all we got.

As usual, we refuse to get to the middle and shoot more. Overpassing

Don't be afraid to just crash the net with more than 1 guy boys and just take simple shots

Not trying to make excuses for him but didn't he and his wife have a kid recently? We've seen other players struggle when having their first child ie. Nurse, Talbot and recently Skinner. RNH definitely needs to be better.

It's the regular season. Give it time. Let em f*** around for a bit until the games matter.

I'm a little more concerned with the PK.
I think they kind of do matter, don’t they?:D I’m not sure they can just flip a switch right before the playoffs.

Preds have the best PK in the league. Seam passes aren't the play, need to just get pucks to the net and cause some chaos.

I think switching Hyman out for Perry would give a different look also.

Perry is much better at screening and deflecting.

90% of the time Bouchard shoots, Hyman is off to the side doing nothing to get in the eyes of the goalie.
