Post-Game Talk: Prey vs The Flightless Birds (Preds @ Penguins)

[PredsV82]

I forgot the game started at 6. Please tell me after his goal Tomasino skated by the Preds bench and told Bruno to eat shit...

 

[Armourboy]

Generally I don't cheer for our own demise but I hope Tomasino scores 4 in this one.

Someone should tell the guys that it generally works better when you actually put the shot on net.

Wide open

Half way through the game and Sissons is your forward with the most TOI something is not going well.

If we can just rattle off 20 straight wins, the Wild Card is still in play

There goes the only interesting young player on our team

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

I'm not sure if it's more depressing how shit this team is or that we actually have people rooting for that. f*** it, they both f***ing suck. Time to go walk the dog.

So after 50 games it has finally hit me

We really just are that bad. It isnt bad luck. We just suck. Maybe a NHL coach could help some but dang we are just bad

 

[101st_fan]

On a good night this team has one line going and a goalie dialed in. If either of those waivers at all there is almost no chance of the team winning.

Gill calling the play "uninspired" during the intermission. Probably the most accurate, corporately acceptable term out there.

Defensive juggernaut Penguins making it look easy

A decent offensive/defensive system would make these guys look better. Probably would still be a bubble team but this system has so many flaws in it I think even a good team would be mediocre trying to run it. It's one of those things that sounds and looks good on paper but no team has the players to actually pull it off consistently.

It's not that dissimilar from the way that the Hurricanes play, but they are a very good skating team with a very strong defensive group (or used to). We are neither of those. Trying to "gegenpress" with an older, slow, poor positional team with a mediocre (bad) d-corps is...well, what we see.

We should have been playing more of the way we used to to see some of those old Trotz coached Preds teams. Keep the game slowed down, keep it close, and then hope the skill from these old guys can generate goals on the PP and on breakdowns.

If management has functioning brains and working eyes over the last 4 games and still doesn't start the fire sale or fire Brunette tomorrow... All of them should be removed.

 

[101st_fan]

Finally a little bit of a push ... 57 minutes in.

Too soon to know - we'll have to re-evaluate after Christmas

Another loss.

 

[Preds Partisan]

With a loss, it's one step closer to something...what, we do not know. But we're closer.
