Post-Game Talk: Predators vs Red Wings - The get your Sh@t together or get out edition. 10/19/24@1PM CDT

Crazy as it sounds I think Brunette may be worse in that category than Hynes

Tend to agree, I’m sure I’m exaggerating a little but it feels like the man can’t even wait 10 minutes before running the randomizer

 

[Scoresberg]

Has coach tried running a line blender? Maybe that will fix this.

Either that or benching all the young talent on the team should fix this, I think.

If we lose one more game in regulation, I'm actually pretty sure no team has ever made the playoffs going 0-6 to start the year.

Secretly aiming for 1st overall and be loaded for next season. All part of the plan

I believe I read that only one has started 0-4 and made the playoffs in the wildcard era

Buying a very stationary, very expensive forward for a coach that wants to play a pressing, uptempo style is a miss on Trotz's part. Continuing to have a gaping hole at 2C is on Trotz. Having only two defensemen that can transition the puck for such a system is also a big miss by Trotz. Signing a goalie long-term that has increasingly struggled with giving up transition goals is also questionable.

Spot on! Also:

This offseason and the resulting cap situation has to be the strangest approach to tanking ever.

When are the owners gonna get nervous is my question…

Nervous shouldn't be the worry, anger is what I would be worried about.

To make it even worse Detroit is 2-3 and have been absolutely awful in their 3 losses- both wins against us

Just brutal

Yeah they gotta be pretty sad they won't play us for the rest of the season.

So much on paper talent that looks like so much shit on the ice

 

[Marty Party]

Damn, the season is already over then. On October 19th.

I still think some of it is he never gives guys enough time to get used to one another. Part of that is the line blender mentality, the other part is that he won't let younger guys get the minutes they should be getting which compounds it.

I am missing expansion era hockey. I listen to the game on radio and I can even hear the lack of backchecking

They've been advertising the family four pack and it doesn't even seem like an awful deal. So there's certainly tickets available. Blink and it'll be a decade since the Cup Final, the shine is definitely wearing off.

The record for most losses to start a season is 11 ... set by the 1943-44 Rangers, tied by the 2017-18 Yotes (0-10-1).

The turnovers that end up almost immediately in the net are killers ... today was Carrier with full control then trying to clear up the boards where two Wings stood between him and the blueline ... intercept, pass to the slot, score. Not playing smart hockey.

The positives are this team is winning faceoffs and getting shots on goal. It's failing to get enough traffic for a lot of tips on net or to collect rebounds but those initial shots are frequently slamming into crests on goalie sweaters.

 

[Kat Predator]

On the bright side, we added almost another 5 minutes of playing with a lead to our season total.

Up to.. 6 minutes if playing with a lead.

Never, the owner is (or soon will be, I can never keep up with this shit) Bill Haslam. He's got enough money not to care.

We just need, and more to the point, Bruno just needs to calm the f*** down. He's proved his system, we know it works, we also know it's a ballache to learn, so stop f***ing with the lines every 15 minutes. Let guys develop some chemistry and understand what they're doing together. And for the love of motherf***ing Mary herself bench Schenn. Bench Schenn and stick with your lines for two f***ing games. Just see what happens.

Edit: Sorry, I may be frustrated right now. The anger will leave me eventually.

Post-game in Nashville. We have it better than most. Especially after an L.

True, if you need to go fling some shit to feel better you have Kid Rock's just right down there...

 

[Osprey]

At least the Sharks haven't won yet, either. Of course, they have Celebrini and Askarov for the next decade and we have Stamkos and Saros.
