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...
Watching it...Honk Honk!Aw Horny gettin interviewed by the pens broadcast right now…
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.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
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.A decent offensive/defensive system would make these guys look better.

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.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).

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