Sooooo Are the Predators bad?

[Nogatco Rd]

The new players haven't bought into Brunette's system yet. But they're not doing themselves any favours right now by putting themselves into a hole right away.

What’s Brunette’s system?

What’s Brunette’s system?

Here's a few links below that help.

So far, Brunette's coaching style has led to some success in Nashville, which he says is a product of the coaches he has had over the years.

There's Lemaire's defensive structure and discipline, Quenneville's high-pressure offensive attack and Trotz's fierce competitive drive on and off the ice.

"Sometimes I hear [Jacques] in my head saying, 'Slow it down, slow it down,' " Brunette said. "But it's all three, really. A sum of all the parts."

In Brunette's first year in Nashville, he took a team with little playoff hopes to the first round against Vancouver. The Predators lost in six games, but the group's determination and togetherness stuck with him. Reminded him of when he played.

How an oft-overlooked, self-driven Andrew Brunette found his way to Nashville Predators

Nashville Predators coach Andrew Brunette details his early life in Sudbury, his affinity for the outdoors and his unique connection with Barry Trotz.

Preds should be renamed to Pretenders - that's all they'll ever be.

I would definitely trust Leafs fans to know what a pretender looks like.

 

[jackjohnson]

yeah they stink but I think they’ll still make the playoffs and lose in rd 1 like every year

They lost their heart and soul player in Sherwood, i doubt they make the playoffs now. Who will be the one forechecking hard for them? Stamkos??

Based on 5 games, only if someone is pushing him around the ice.

No team has ever made the playoffs starting 0-5 sooo not looking great for them.

Nor my bold SCF prediction for them

Preds are cursed. They're too good at drafting/developing D and goalies to ever truly be bad enough to finally fix their offensive issues. Every time they go free agent or trade hunting for help up front they strike out, outside of the miracle Forsberg trade that they likely just fluked into.

Brunette is not good at coaching. He's not bad. He's just not good.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Crazy to think about a team with legit playoff aspirations being 10pts back from 3rd in the division, only 5 games into the season

 

[Soundgarden]

1-5 Baby! Is it too premature to plan the parade?

 

[Sniper99]

Look pretty good tonight

Already working on the banner.

 

[dirtydanglez]

they will turn it around and challenge for a wc spot.

Both Stamkos and Marchessault are going to take a lot longer to adjust than I think a lot of people realize. They've more or less played for the same team, within the same season for over half a decade. In Stammer's case, literally his whole career. There's going to be some growing pains.

Nashville is probably more a later surge team instead of an early dominate one. Might have overrated them a little myself putting them second in the division though.
