I guess it’s tank for Bedard again 🤷♂️
The curse of Cole Smith strikes again.
We’ve been fucking dog shit these past couple of games, but whoever said we’ve been really bad since Cole Smith came back is onto something. Poor guy is just bad juju. That and we’re just flat out poorly coached
Ok, but seriously, what’s it going to take to get rid of Hynes and Poile? I mean this team is shambolic, and they just keep receiving paychecks. It makes no sense. If I were this bad at my job, I would have been fired months ago.
It’s all hindsight but looks like Poile traded for a brutal albatross type contract (McDonagh) and didn’t even get anything for taking it on Lol.
3 more years at $6.7 as a declining 33 year old coming off 3 straight cup runs dude can probably barely skate after all that.
Can we please never do this ‘in the stands’ shit again?
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
I didn’t watch this game. Instead I was busy watching the Admirals blow a 4-1 lead to the Texas Stars. Can’t decide what’s worse.

Fuck you all and I’ll see you Monday (unfortunately).
Stop with the fucking dump and chase. The Sabres showed what you can do with actual passing and speed.
this team is utterly joyless. no point to them.
Buffalo is a tough team to lose against. Glad the Preds were able to look inward and really find a way to get the L here. Preds on a 3 game L streak and inching closer to a 1OA pick.
It’s gonna be a tough stretch coming up but I trust that these boys can see it through.
Bro, why does it seem like the Preds Special Teams can only be good about once every 5 fucking years. What are we doing that teams like Montreal and Buffalo make our PP/PK look fucking awful??

Send an email to the president and voice your displeasure. Maybe if enough of us do it, changes will be made.
Wow. Two back-to-back games where the team doesn’t get bailed out in the defensive end by superstar-level goalie performances, and what do you know, 4+ goals conceded in each of the losses.
From a 4-game win streak to a 3-game losing streak. Just about sums up this team. Slightly above mediocre. At the current trajectory, they will easily miss playoffs. Hopefully, that’ll spark the change in coaching and in the front office that this outdated team desperately needs.
Like it’s easy to miss, but this team had a 96-point scoring defenseman, two 40-goal scorers, and a finalist for the Vezina last year, and they were just a Wild Card team. Like if you have players with those accolades and aren’t in the running for the division, either the rest of the team is garbage or it is a poorly coached team. Given the additions this team made over the off-season and the lackluster results, it’s easy to see which reason it is.
