GDT: Preds vs Edmonton Oilers (Oct 31 - 7:00)

[Kat Predator]

Our guys need a refresher on passing and stick handling. Oof.

 

[Armourboy]

Did 47 have an assist on that goal against?

Him and Smith are both -2

 

[Kat Predator]

Him and Smith are both -2

If they keep that up, they'll be on the 1st line in no time.

McCarron deserves all the blame there. Can't fall down and give the puck to Drai.

 

[Soundgarden]

I swear we've led for like 5 minutes total through 10 games.

 

[Armourboy]

Evangelista even has the ESPN guys yelling at him to shoot it.

Evangelista even has the ESPN guys yelling at him to shoot it.

The tone in his voice was: "what the hell is he doing?"

 

[Armourboy]

" Brunette thinks of coaching like a MLB manager " well heck now we found the issue.

Wait was that Parsnips centering Forsberg and Nyquist?

 

[101st_fan]

So little traffic that Chet Pickard could make these saves.

 

[Kat Predator]

More style points if you score from the half wall with no one in front?

Bruno must be trying to get the boys to take three point shots.

Gotta make up those 2 point deficits in a hurry

 

[101st_fan]

Evangalista enters the zone with speed ... stops ... doesn't get a shot. Rinse. Repeat.

Pretty Boy Vincezo = prime Martin Erat.

 

[Armourboy]

Hmm based on what I'm seeing it almost looks like McCarron finally got told to sit on the end of the bench.

I don't think he's had a shift since he toe picked himself.

 

[Armourboy]

Need to do something here.

Get the heck out of the way Ref!

 

[Kat Predator]

Smith has been given some time to reflect as well...

 

[Armourboy]

or not

Smith has been given some time to reflect as well...

He got a shift with ZLH and Novak.

 

[Kat Predator]

or not


He got a shift with ZLH and Novak.

I think that was it though...

It's good news for Novak and Parssinen who weren't getting any shifts earlier. Also seeing Evangelista out there more. Some ice time might be good for those guys.

I’m here my McBabies!

This is game ten. The "new pieces" excuse expired at least five games ago.

Only seven players with 5on5 goals so far for the season ... too many big names absent from that list, too many 4th liner and lower pairing d-men on it. No multiple PP goal games yet.

 

[Kat Predator]

The "new pieces" excuse was lame to start with. Why are the Predators a team struggling to integrate 3 new players when other teams have 4, 5, 6 new faces in their lineups and can play well?

No one is scoring. Defense is nonexistent at times. Horrible turnovers are the norm. Passing taking the form of panicked shots off the boards to who-knows-where... Those aren't really "integration" issues as much as just bad play.

 

[101st_fan]

If this Oilers lead holds, it will mark the second loss that falls primarily on the 4th line with just one win that they factored in.

When the team can't score 5on5 and hasn't figured out how to capitalize on more than on PP opportunity per game any goal against is a potential killer. Going down by two in 9 of 10 is inexcusable.

Now to see if McCarron got a skating lesson during intermission so he doesn't toe pick like a newbie.

 

[Marty Party]

Game

76 got walked and 74 failed.

Now, where to go post game?

 

[sparkle twin]

This team is horrible.
