Official Nashville Predators Thread

[Deputy Fife]

I just think the dark blue to match the pants is the way to go.

At least Pekka gets to wear his usual mask.

A. 3 on 3 followed by a shootout
B. 4 on 4 followed by a shootout
C. (My idea) both teams get 2 minutes of a Powerplay a piece, followed by a shootout if still tied.
D. Other (explain)

3 v 3 is perfect. Absolutely love it

 

[YankeeVol]

I'd go with A or B

 

[Mr_Henley]

Fair enough. I like 4 on 4 better than 3. Either way the Preds keep grabbing points!

I'm pretty sure the Preds have scored first in every game so far this season.

10 minutes of sudden death 5 on 5, then a tie. No more 3 point games.

The 4 on 4 is some semblance of professional hockey, 3 on 3 is straight pond hockey, every bit as gimmicky as the shootout.

Ekholm got 6 year 22.5 mil

huge deal. Future of Nashville Defense is amazing

 

[YankeeVol]

No better time than now to trade Weber for a true #1 front liner

 

[amazingGRACE]

Poile having this D locked up for a long time is amazing. Especially considering Ellis, Josi & Ekholm's cap hit.

 

[YankeeVol]

Press have moved up to #3 in ESPN's Power Rankings.

The Preds are proving they can win pretty much any way you like: close-checking and wide open, shootout, regulation.

Hard part there is teams that might be willing to make a move for an elite player in season likely don't have the cap space etc.

Lots of talk league wide about Eric Staal, but if I were Poile I'd kick the tires on Jordan. 6 million per, expires in 2023 when he's 35. He has a NMC which might prove a problem, but moving a guy with a seemingly team friendly contract like Ekholm, plus some picks, why not?

Signed to a managable deal, 200 foot player who, although not Toews or Getzlaf by any reach, should be able to hang with most of the pivots out west.

You guy's division alone almost sold me on center ice, top to bottom probably the best in pro sports.

 

[YankeeVol]

First goal in 8 of 9 games now.

 

[amazingGRACE]

Huge win in the shark tank to start the cma trip.

This team HAS to win more draws though. Especially in the offensive zone.

 

[TDTennessee]

Crazy game tonight.

 

[YankeeVol]

A ton of goals

 

[YankeeVol]

Another big scoring game

 

[Toujours Pret]

Another big scoring game

Pavalec is a freaking mess. I don't know that I've ever seen someone flop between dominant and horrible so frequently.

 

[YankeeVol]

Nashville is 9-1-1 when scoring first this season

 

[YankeeVol]

Haven't been playing well

 

[amazingGRACE]

Can't. Score. Goals.

All advanced stats have Nashville at the top of the league in possession & shots on goal..comes down to lack of scoring ability.

Jones needs to be dealt for a #1 center like yesterday.

 

[JohnMarxism]

You have to think that the goals will eventually come...

 

[james_govols]

Another great start followed by sub par play. We need scoring help, and if that means dealing Jones so be it.

Not suprised.. Have always been nothing special.. Never contender

Deal Weber instead
