To be fair, Megaupload kind of had it coming to them

Their owner had been busted before for various other white collar crimes, and they basically ran it like limewire. We just try and watch the game because 1.) We’re either not able to get to the TV, or 2.) We’re out of market, like I am…

Coaching

Let me start this by saying I’m not sure which way it would go so don’t start yelling at me for being a Q hater cause I’m not but I often wonder what this team’s performance and point total would be with someone like Bylsma or Babcock behind the bench. Thoughts?

He also runs one of the most boring systems ever.

Not sure if I’d trade that for the excitement. I think I might rather have Babcock just so I didn’t fall asleep.

Bylsma is the best coach in the NHL.

It’s not even close. I personally think this team would be running on all cylinders and destroying faces with Bylsma behind the bench.

i didnt know leddy was single-handedly supposed to possess and get the puck all the way down the ice while the forecheck was right on him….again, he had him tied up.

by Esquire02 on Jan 24, 2012 8:13 PM CST up reply actions  

He had the puck before the tie up.

Furthermore, when the D men are back, at some point the forwards are going to have to be in better position covering people and actually have their sticks on the fucking ice instead of waiting for a long pass.

by ForAllYouYoungHockeyMoms on Jan 24, 2012 8:16 PM CST up reply actions  

This.

If you look at the front of the net, we had a forward severely out of position covering his man and his stick wasn’t even on the fucking ice.

Leddy wasn't out of position

but he didn’t get the puck around the net like everyone expected. And then a Hawks forward, Hayes I believe, didn’t follow the Predators forward down to the net and just kind of drifted behind him.

by Spotacus on Jan 24, 2012 8:29 PM CST up reply actions

that one defenseman should be able to handle the puck all by himself while engaged in a forecheck behind his own net and no one should be in position to come help him…interesting strategy

Brutal

This team won’t do a thing in the playoffs unless there is substantial upgrade coming on defense. Montador is dogshit, O’Donnell a relic who tries but doesn’t have a lot in the tank, and Leddy little more than a 3rd defensive pairing at this stage.

Predators are the best coached and smartest team in hockey. You make mistakes and they pounce. Vintage Trotz team.

Seriously?

You’re the dipshit you ranted two years ago that the 2009-2010 Hawks were too “soft” to win a cup.

But I’m the hockey stupid for pointing out that your argument about Kane is not only false tonight, but false in general seeing as he’s been on the ice for the fewest GA for his level of playing time. You’re simply reciting a stupid “Patrick Kane is Lazy” meme that annoys the PISS out of anyone who actually follows this team.

Patrick Kane is a one-way player

If you want to pretend he is a two-way player and can remotely carry Toews’ or Hossa’s jockstrap in this regard, then go for it. Kane is a wondrous albeit streaky offensive creator. But he is a complete one-way player. Moreso then any annointed “star” right wing in the Western Conference.

The only thing I was down on with the first one, I think it was

Was the scoring chance he gave up by not freezing the puck. Yes we took the puck the other way but I think the momentum was in Nashvilles favor of that and a freeze would have been good. Whatever though.

Yup.

Rinne is the best goalie in hockey right now

If the Predators can ever manage to create offensive consistency they would be very serious Cup contender with THAT goalie and THAT defense and Trotz calling the shots. They are the team that nobody gives enough attention to in the NHL.

by lobster on Jan 24, 2012 8:19 PM CST up reply actions  

I don't think so.

Weber is an RFA and suter has made it clear he wants to see what they add at the deadline before he signs so poile will likely wait him out.

by lobster on Jan 24, 2012 8:23 PM CST up reply actions  

If Nashville had guts they'd make a trade for one of the Anaheim hotshots and go for it

They are not that far from competing for a Cup. Weber and Suter are key, so pull out all the stops and go for it now if you are the Preds. They have a lot of talent, and among the deepest systems in hockey. Rinne is ready to play Cup hockey right now.

I said 'morbidly curious' not 'deeply invested'

But lets review:

Overall team-talent is pretty high, on both sides of the puck.

Special teams range from Anemic to downright-horrid

One of the worst goal-differentials in the league, despite being one of the highest scoring teams in the league.
