The Ads play in Chicago tomorrow night, after winning 38 seconds into OT against the Wolves tonight. It's a trap! (game).
That is what my daughter says about the Preds. "They score and either give up a goal in one minute or get a penalty".

Man, hoping that 3rd goal (ultimately disallowed) by Hawks was the low point of the season. That was grim until it wasn’t. Doubled our win total.
Let's not get greedy! Nashville is on pace to win 23 games this season according to the math in my head. That third win would push them to 30.

Usually a supporter, but Big Sexy needs some press box time. Trying to do too much or being expected to do too much (e.g. Sissons lite) and he hasn't been good at all. Put Sizzler with Smith and ZLH and dress Tomasino. Bonus for swapping Parsnip and Smith, but I don't see Smith and Mac both being benched, even if deserved.
The Ads have a 5 game winning streak. Maybe they can run that to 17 games like last year? Then Taylor can leave for Music City.

Max just said on the radio the Preds have won:
5 straight vs Chicago
10 of the past 11 vs Chicago
21 of the past 26 vs Chicago
I know it can turn quickly, so I'm just going to enjoy this ride while it lasts!

To be fair, it was in relation in having a guy like Stamkos who has his spot that he works from. Those two things don't work well together. She mentioned Hedman and how he ran the PP from the top and didn't move around much.AJ noting that Josi's strengths don't translate well to the PP unit.
To be honest, they'd be better served breaking up Stamkos and Forsberg at the very least.

It came on the heels of one of the worst PP efforts I've ever seen too. And the next penalty, the second unit was put out there, actually showed they could possess the puck, make passes, enter the O-zone, and score. [I was trying to remember something that looked that horrible. Maybe watching a peewee team of kids still learning which end of the stick to hold?]
Anyway, one thing I've noticed is that the PP1 unit will (if they can) frequently enter the O-zone on the left side. Pulling the defenders towards the side Stamkos likes to set up shop on. By contrast Hedman and Kucherov would drag the defense to the right trying to get Stamkos left alone for a one timer off a seam pass. (The Ovi play.) It seems so simple, it's just surprising to see our PP trying to rotate the play from the left.

I'd stop juggling all the lines for at least 1 game. Swap McCarron and Smith out and put Parssinen and Tomasino in for them. Maybe they'll click with ZLH? They can't be worse in the O-zone. (Speaking of which why do we have our PK guys taking o-zone faceoffs?)
