Well, I guess we get to find out if the hand-groomed replacement for Trotz has anything up top.  Last year we looked just like this in January and Trotz got them together and we know where that went.  Now you need to see if Rierden can do anything to get this team to play like a team.  It's the same cast of characters so we know they have what it takes.  They just aren't playing worth a lick right now and their confidence is sucking.  Time for Ovi to take Kuzy aside and tell him he needs to step up and earn the paycheck.  And Backstrom has to start playing solid, strong hockey.  He gets points but he looks crappy from where I sit.  And our third line center, supposedly our depth being the key to why we won last year, Eller has to play better than he has played.  It's all there for them but they have to want it a lot more than they do right now.

5 GOALS, what an entertaining game in The New NHL!!!   The Caps are trying hard though, like they always do.  Even though the goals were by the other team, they’re just hot, but they’re fun to watch.  But who cares we have A Cup, so we can die happy even if it’s another 40yrs before the next!!!

And the league has neutered Willy so the only guy on the team who will fight can't take the risk so we just keep getting it jammed up our ass one puck at a time and we don't fucking do anything!  Kick somebody's goddamn ass!

OMG has Copley looked like shit.  Here's a hint:  When a guy is coming down alone get the hell out of the net to take away his sight lines.  He was practically with his ass against the back bar on the first goal and on the shorthanded goal.  Then he's totally unprepared for the shot on the 5th goal.  And Backstrom getting stripped trying to dipsy doo into the zone on the PP was simply unacceptable.  Overall, the Preds look faster, hungrier and simply better in practically every way. 


In the bigger picture, looking at the crap play lately, this is what happens when you have a "nice guy" coach instead of one who would chew their asses out and sit people for a few games who wouldn't normally sit in order to send a message.  I'm not seeing anything here that makes me think these guys can get past the first round of the playoffs.  The only bright spot was the PP looking better.  Overall, quite brutal.

I hope the Preds score 10+ maybe that'll wake these fuckers up.

Good Fight Wilie!!”


Now some wil cry about fighting, in general, or fighting when your a top scorer and down 5-1.  They need to man up.


The Wilson Trend since getting a few points that he should quit hitting and fighting is just woman’s-rules hockey jargon and bullshit. There to many one way soft woman’s rules players that should be scoring these goals so Wilson can do the real mans work.

Fuck I agree so much with your thoughts on the PP. We had glimpses of good PP play when we scored but the same old retarded bullshit 1 vs 5 dangle highlight reel shit fucked us.

The Caps might be trying a little harder, but they seem to have left their skills in another state.

We gave up 6 goals to the Preds two weeks ago with Holtby in net.

And God forbid GMBetaMale get rid of a womans-rules player or two, and get someone else in the line up that will fight and not leave the ice with theyre face looking like a god damn maxi-pad

[Beaglefan2]

I'm liking Jaskin. That's it.


If they don't hit everything that moves in the third period, they will prove they are just along for the ride this year.

[waynerivers]

This is lack of focus and lack of urgency.  If they have enough talent to have won a cup then this crap can only result from being satisfied and not paying the price as required to win, or even compete in these games.  Count me as unimpressed with Rierden so far.  He thinks juggling his lines or deciding among the same couple of healthy scratches is all he needs to do. 

[ArJunaZ]

At this rate we'll be in 4th place in the Metro by Friday.

PROVE ME WRONG BOYS!!!!

YOURE GOD DAMN RIGHT!!! I started worrying about that in June before Trotz even left

Course not, he told us to comb the desert, and we’re combing it . . .
