Post-Game Talk: Preds @ Capitals - The "Let's Start to Turn This Around" Edition - Nov 6th 2024

Got the official interpretation from Toronto: “In the card game NHL Battle, Ovy trumps Stamkos so call on the ice stands.”

 

[SouthNash]

Josi has his head up his ass too!

 

[nine_inch_fang]

Sissons blocked that shot with his arm the puck hit above the glove and below the lower end of his elbow pad. Looked like it broke the skin and he was bleeding. If it wasn't a broken bone then some seriously bruised muscles/tendons.

Well, IRL as well, 39 y/o Ovy>>>34 y/o Stamkos.

 

[SouthNash]

Panthers tomorrow with wedgewood?

 

[Top 6 Spaling]

Not gonna win many games giving up this shot map....

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

I'd turn Josi-wide into a drinking game but I doubt even 101's liver could hold up to that.

 

[drwpreds]

Yep- 4-8-1 and a back to back game at Florida tomorrow?? We are about to be 4-9-1

 

[SouthNash]

This team sucks

We're a bit unlucky to not get a point, but yeah.

 

[Soundgarden]

Good try at the end.

 

[Armourboy]

Well some big problems but was still a winnable game. Stinks to have at least a point yanked by the NHL.

I can't even fuss about Brunette really, guys just didn't get it done. If they had gone to the net in the first two periods this is probably a different game.

This team sucks

But they're so close...you can just feel it.

Saw this big strawberry on his forearm

Didn't hate the kid line

 

[sparkle twin]

They played well enough to win tonight.

Saros was great.

But 5 -yes FIVE- hit posts, a bullshit no goal call, and every single time we had a power play the ref magically found something to call on the Preds to end it early.

 

[herzausstein]

We've played worse....

So an improvement?

 

[luckofirish8]

Honestly, it was one of the better efforts on the year. Not sure that is saying much or is any indication of anything though.

Josi and Skjei pairing should be blown up. Parssinen was the Preds best player and he'll likely seat out the next game given what we usually see.

Still trying to process that goaltender interference call. Would love to see the official explanation since they took about 5 minutes reviewing it and seemingly still got it bass ackwards?

Regardless, everything still seems so sloppy. Felt like Parssinen was the best player from what I saw, which is not a great sign.

 

[101st_fan]

Well, IRL as well, 39 y/o Ovy>>>34 y/o Stamkos.

So ... the problem is we're too young?

 

[drwpreds]

I don’t know man- it’s a little disheartening and depressing hearing so many people saying we were better tonight than we have been.

Caps had SIX expected goals tonight and just look at that heat map

Moneypuck had it 82% Caps

I guess it is better than a completely lifeless shutout at home but if that’s a better effort from us then we are in big big trouble

 

[Nevins]

We do good enough to win on our own, we sure don't need the NHL helping other teams out too.

The most amazing thing about evaluating the Predators' performance is that Saros (I've only seen a few games) seems to be one of their best players. Imagine with an average or bad goalie?

That's our backup

It all sounds like the AHL refs.

 

[101st_fan]

five (at least) pipes and a questionable waive off. We weren't outplayed. We still lost.

 

[101st_fan]

If our earlier losses were well played games (like tonight) that just went the wrong way then the fanbase wouldn't be ranting. This was a close game where puckluck and a questionable call cost us. Too many other games were easy decisions against.
