Haha Ovechkin only had 15 minutes of ice time tonight. Gotta get the 4th line their minutes.

So, Nashville fans, were there hints that maybe Trotz wasn't a good coach when he was with the Predators? He's getting clearly out-coached by Babock, which to be fair, would happen to most coaches, but not to this degree. He only iced Ovechkin for 15 minutes in what was the most important game of the season, and it's not like Ovechkin was playing poorly, he was maybe Washington's best forward last night. Until forced by injury to play him he sat his 5th best defensman (and one whose speed most ably matches up to Toronto) in favor of broken rear end Alzner, and old pylon Orpik. He's let Babcock dictate the line matchups, even on home ice. Seemingly the only adjustments he's made were to turtle with the lead last night, which as we can all see, didn't work so well.

Then how stupid would they look when a head shot gets you a game, and a nut shot gets you 3?

Powershift posted:

It's not just powerplays. Its allowing quick small forwards to make plays instead of being grabbed and held mid deke. Defensemen would have to change they way they play if they can't just grab the guy who can out skate them.

Calling obstruction when it happens would increase scoring, and make the entertaining players more entertaining.

Brass has been an excellent playoff performer but I dont' think he'll live up to regular season expectations.

Zibs needs to stay healthy for the Rangers next year and find his groove, that injurywas a tough one to deal with

I was reading Crosby's wikipedia page because of this conversation. I didn't know he has an Emmy.

I'll interject myself into volume one million of Penschat to let everyone know the Blues last game of the season is probably tonight, which is weird considering the Preds are a bunch of sucky pussies.

Fortunately we no longer employ Matt Cooke so EK should be safe.

With the Preds going up 2-1 in the series, I figure I should put their chants that I know down so you have them.

Tell me if I miss any. For reference Paul is the Preds announcer.



Edit: forgot about the beginning of the game: at the beginning of the game Paul announces the opposing team starting lineup. The response is "SUCKS" the each player name, and then when Paul goes "coach whomever" the response is "HE SUCKS TOO."



When Preds score:

-Tim McGraw song

-Black keys "gold on the ceiling" with crowd chanting "hey! You suck!" 3 times. Then "we're gonna beat the hell out of you! You! You you you!"

-a few moments late: "that's 2! Thank you (goalie name), can we have another? He shoots, he scores, you suck!"

-then a few moments later: "(chants goalie name 3 times)." Then "You Suck! It's all your fault! it's all your fault! it's all your fault!"


When Nashville goes on a power play:

Paul goes "your Nashville Predators are (crowd joins in) ON.....THE....POWERPLAY!"



Penalty kill:

Paul announces the penalty, and Paul goes "(opposing team) is on the.....power play..." and crowd responds "and they still suck!"


Near end of he period, Paul will go "there's one minute left in the period" and the crowd responds "Thanks Paul!"


Edit 2: end of game if Preds win:
-"Hands go Up Song! "
-"Hey! You suck!" 3 times
- "we just beat the hell out of you! You! You you you!"


Other notes:
-The Preds organist is Krazy Kyle. He is awesome.
-Gnash is the best mascot
-Nashville is awesome.


Random hockey memory: i was there for a game where the Preds thanked Jason Arnott, and the Fans chanted a chant of "Arnott, Artoo," (get it?) which was a great chant as well.

"Gold On the Ceiling" is a good rear end goal song, and i ordinarily hate country music but i guess nashville can be forgiven for using it because, well it's goddamn nashville

Last I knew the games were shown on some weird bespoke but technically-national station, so I just hunt streams on reddit. Unless you're asking about the Braehead Clan, in which case they're at the Braehead mall.

e: Most places are going to be closed by 1AM, though if you're asking about the Sunday evening game I may have an idea.

Bad news

I don't agree with that at all. Imo NHL reffing is by far the best out of the four major North American sports, and they generally do a pretty good job. I'd like to see them enforce interference rules more strictly, but that's clearly a mandate they've put in place to try and reduce concussions.
