They were loaded in 2010. Now not so loaded. there is the core a few okay or potentials then bad like brutal bad. Hurt the team bad.

Gotta hand it to the Predators. They had to win and they did. There's just so much energy on this team. You can't wear them out.

THE 2014-15 NASHVILLE PREDATORS: WHITE AFTER LABOR DAY

_________________

I went to bed after 4-1.
to start the 3rd, you had a defensive meltdown, followed by a really stupid Roszival penalty, topped off with another defensive meltdown.

Those were not the soft goals Crawford was letting in. Darling is and will be fine. He starts game 6 on Saturday.

I'm glad Roszival played a game 5....he sure went right back to sucking it up in game 6.

CH has some validity in what he's saying, but it's on the dark cloud side of reality. This team has underachieved this season. They have been lazy. The Preds are a good team and they are younger. Rinne is fucking awesome. Sadly, I'm seeing this go 7, but I still give the edge to the Hawks. More elite players on the hawks....they just need to get it together.

_________________

What is annoying with this series and even this season is that Nashville is capitalizing on fuck ups by players who clearly vulnerable. Rozsi is too damn slow to do anything other than park his ass in the defensive zone and never leave. That gigantic target is going to be there every game for every team and they are just going to keep taking advantage of it.

If they are going to lose I would much rather see a guy like Tarasenko just play phenomenal hockey and score than see random dudes prey on the shit end of the blue line.

Weber out the rest of the series.

I wish Jones, Josi, and Ellis could be out the rest of the series, too. And the unstoppable Colin Wilson, of course.

Home. Feels good to have this game here tonight. Favorable weather hopefully results in some better quality ice than we've seen over the previous 5 games.

I have a good feeling about tonight...not sure how I feel about Versteeg skating with Richards and Kaner though...

Both Versteeg and Richards are very good at making Kane worse.

If they don't win tonight, they don't win the series. Gotta step on some throats tonight, the way Nashville has already done twice in this series while we've been winning in second or third overtimes.

Haven't you been paying attention?

CH has shared with all of us there is no hope. We probably should not even watch. The Hawks are in trouble.

Nashville has amazing players that never tire. They have a goalie that cannot be touched.

It is an impossible situation.

Oh. Well. If they don't get tired and their goalie is perfect I guess it's... Over.
I'll just masturbate grimly alone in the dark instead of watching this game.
All I got here is a Johnstone catalog with like only 4 or 5 models in it so this could take the three or so hours that I need to be distracted.

Ways the Preds have led the Hawks thus far:

Aggregate score: 18-15
Power play: 26.3 to 11.8
Penalty kill: obviously, 88.2 to 73.7
Shots for: 41.4 to 35.2
Shots against: vice versa
Faceoff: 50.7 to 49.3

Fuck these numbers, dominate this game, end this crap.

Really gotta question how this team can beat the Blues or Wild if they even get there at all the way they're pissing this series down their leg.

Who the hell are these guys in red?

Nice rink wide pass by mr. Useless Rozsival was very luck to have not cost a goal. I see he's back solidly in shit mode. And another bad couple shifts by Versteeg.

The same slackers they've been for the last five months.

Nashville plays hard every shift. We can't. There's just so little talent on this team right now, and even less effort.

Well this is a horrible start. We need a huge PK right here.

If you're going to pull Darling, you have to do it now. You go down three and you're finished.

I hope Timmonen dies. Nice tackle, asshole. Wrong sport.

Hair might be right.
This team has nothing tonight. Nothing.
I hope to fuck today is the end of Timonen and Versteeg. Enough is enough.

Nashville has our breakout figured out.
