Predators up in Game 2 right now 3-1 going into the 3rd period. If it holds, they lead the series 2-0 going into Nashville.

Less than 3 minutes to go and Anaheim makes it 3-2. Hopefully Nashville can hang on. God forbid they go all Steve Mason here.

I don't think we will, either. Remember when old boy's goal hit off one post to the other? that felt like the turning point of the series. In a sense we've won series in the past where we had to tighten up and play perfect; it's a time or type of reliance upon our experience. Well that style also kind of relies upon a team making a few key mistakes and Saint Louis is playing out of their minds. The optimist in me thinks this series could play out like the Ducks series last year or the Red Wing series a few years ago. So there is that.

I don't think anyone said it wasn't going to work out for the Stars, I simply said I liked Daley when you said he was horrible. I still like Daley and he is doing a fine job for the Penguins. Sharp and Oduya are good players, why wouldn't it work?


There's not much the Hawks can do, they win cups and the vultures start circling for their players... thats how the NHL is set up. You know the best, I think Dallas has all of 2 or 3 players that they actually drafted. As long as there is a low cap, RFA offer sheets, a retarded salary-roster structure, and an antiquated draft system; teams that win a lot will lose their players to lesser teams. The NBA has it right, the NHL needs to look at their roster salary rules.

There was someone in particular that said Sharp was a waste and was "done". Wasnt you, so no need to be defensive.

As far as Stars drafted players...that shit will happen when you have a GM that was clueless and made dumb deals and draft picks...then move on to a new GM that has to clean up the mess. But I do agree with all sports moving in the direction the NBA went.

I don't know. Some are making a big deal of the Ducks game 7 history. They've lost their last 3 game 7s but I think 2 of the 3 were to the eventual champions. The goalie finally cracked, after being solid since game 3. I hate that the game is so far away because it's a huge deal for Nashville. But I feel like everyone's on the Predators' side. They're also the only team I have left to be for in the playoffs.

CoachChaz
04-27-2016, 12:32 PM
I'd like to see Nashville win just so that the NHL can see how stupid the playoff format is. The 2nd round should at least hold the opportunity to see the top 4 teams playing each other and the current format takes that completely away.

Dapper Dan

I know I'm new to this and maybe I've been spoiled as a football fan, but I do NOT understand NFL blackouts. They don't want people to watch their teams? I paid $25 for NFL TV and it's all blacked out. Every Preds game on tv is blacked out. I used to think black outs were an attempt to get people to the stadium, well I'm not going to Anaheim, California. I just want to watch the damn game. It seems like people being able to watch games would only help the sport.

I think youre talking about NHL TV? I dont know anything about that but I have NHL Center Ice and I get every game played all year, no blackouts whatsoever. The local Calgary games are even on, but I think if you don't subscribe to the sports channed the local games are on, you won't get it.

Hopefully someone from the US chimes in because I think ours are different. The Nashville game will be on 2 or 3 different channels, including NBC sports. Every channel will say the game is blacked out. Nashville is the local team.

With football, it's the opposite. The Titans and Bengals games are always on here.

So I just happened to catch the lottery. Toronto won and then they interviewed some kid from Finland who is supposedly the top prospect and they were asking him questions like, "is it a relief to know where you're going to go," but then I just saw an ESPN segment saying Toronto is taking someone else.

How awkward is that?

They were talking to the Finnish player that is projected to go 2nd. If ESPN thought he was going to Toronto that is funny, but they probably meant that he knew he was going to Winnipeg, who won the second pick.

For those that don't know, the first pick will be an American, Auston Matthews. I've only seen him in the World Junior Championship but he looked awesome, head and shoulders better than everyone else.

NBC played the lottery and then brought on the Finnish kid right after and asked him about Toronto. Later, I saw ESPN talking about and showing highlights of Matthews and talking about Toronto.

That overtime earlier just added to an awesome game. It's crazy, but coming into the year the Preds were 1-5 and game 6. They have already won more game 6s that I've seen in person than they'd ever won before. Next week is my birthday. Really hoping for 2 miracles. One, the Preds win Thursday. Two, somehow I get me a ticket and go back to Nashville once again.

While it will be nice to watch without getting pain in my stomach...I would take it in a heartbeat if the Avs could their groove back and into the playoffs again.

I haven't watch that much of the playoffs to be honest. I've been gone every other week now since they started and hotels do not have that station. I will say that the Sharks have looked stronger to me since they started. I not sure if the Blues ran out of gas or the Sharks are just that good.

So any thoughts on them.

Also do you think it will be the Pens or TB tonight? TB has been playing amazing considering who all got hurt, but does that end tonight?

I might even enjoy the finals this year....it's tough when your favorite team is out beyond the playoffs start.

St Louis was carried by Elliott, once Hunchcock pulled him (because his team got shutout?? LOL) they weren't going to win. I guess it's the goalies job to score now too... The only reason they made it this far was because of Elliott and Hunchcock blew it, he's one of the worst coaches in the league. That team is too deep to lose that much.

I picked Pitt to make the finals this season in my pool so I guess I hope they make it, but I really don't care.

Nope.

San Jose has been outplayed big time, but they are a big physical team. They will negate that speed at home I think. Each game has been right down to the wire. I bet this one goes to at least 6. I would love to see a nice 7 gamer though.
