Creeper trying to slander good Perds fans.
That explains why the guy who did it was wearing a Shea Weber Habs jersey, wouldn't surprise me if he got in without a ticket too, and he probably abducted the duck from a very loving and caring family as well.

Throwing dead animals on the ice is disgraceful
Are NHL analysts going to include that as part of the great atmosphere in Nashville just like octopus in Detroit?
At least in Florida people threw toy rats =/

Weren't there a couple actual live rats thrown on the ice during the '96 run?
Doesnt stop Quenneville from throwing Rozsival on the ice every other game.
No. The real rat was in the locker room. Then word got out that Scott Mellanby assassinated the poor furry creature with a hockey stick (probably with an illegal curve). Despicable people from Miami then started throwing toy rats. Y'all cowards don't even throw real rats.
EDIT: Oh like a couple live rats tossed along with the toy ones? Can't say I've heard of that.

Fisher injury (kinda deep in the video): https://streamable.com/b6tz8
Nashville's center depth is woeful. Fisher out would mean that Fiddler more-or-less has to play. Beyond that...is Vladislav Kamenev, who based on his couple of NHL games this season is absolutely not ready for primetime.

Only thing the team has said is that he's "under evaluation." Will probably hear about it today if it's serious.
you would think that the Wild owner throwing the Hanzal trade under the bus would slow Bergevin down
but you'd be wrong

Nashville out-clapped Alberta and Manitoba?
Shameful. This truly is no longer Canada's game.

A damn shame the engineers who built the place fucked up the acoustics.

Yesterday's game also broke a Predators attendance record, and was the highest-rated NBC Preds game in the Nashville viewing area.
All that was missing was the win =/
GG Penises, It was a nice run while it lasted.
Nope, we got this!
Wait...
GG Pens. We had a good run.

There was at least one I remember.
That was the original rat who sacrificed his body for a playoff run. Sane people throw plastic rats, but it is Florida.

You mean the entirety of '96 Florida Panthers roster?

I'm still so bummed we lost that game last night off that lucky deflection
Really didn't want to have to win another game in Duck City
If you want to discount luck, just pretend that the refs saw the punch to the face and cross check that occurred seconds before the tying goal and consider the game a regulation loss.
That's fine, but you know damn well every single sports team in existence has had that go in their favor at some point, including the ducks.

And the Preds have never had a deflection go their way, into the net? Throwing the puck into coverage like Perry did is a deliberate strategy, it isn't luck.
Well yeah because they would explode and the ice would be ruined.
Or did you mean cat creepers?
They sure have. I wasn't knocking the ducks, I said it sucks to lose on that. It's a valid strategy, but it's still luck and not like he planned the puck to deflect in the way he did.
You throw it in and then it's just chance.

Marvie has Minecraft on the mind. I know this because he's always playing it whenever I turn my Switch on. I can hardly blame him, Minecraft is a gem of a game. Everyone knows it.
LOL

omg soc pls
Oh man lol, they threw him under the bus REAL quick. Fleury stole them the series in Washington lol... if the Sens win this game, Sullivan is going to look REAL stupid.

I disagree with the goalie switch too, but maybe it will spark the team

yeah, so what? why should i care about teams with no interesting Finnish players? i have no connection to them. i will never visit Ottawa or Nashville or Pittsburgh or Anaheim, could not care less about their teams. and yea yea they have some Finns like Vatanen and Määttä but they are not future 50+ goal scorers so no interest.
seriously though.. i am rooting for Ottawa. GO KARLSSON!! even though you are a dirty dirty Swede.

Yeah. And this is the 2nd year in a row he made an eyebrow-raising choice at goal. He pulled Murray after a bad game vs Tampa, Flower laid an egg in the next one, and then he went right back to Murray. I'm surprised that didn't screw Murray up and cost them that series.
I think he feels that, being down 2-1 he can make a risky move. If he played Flower again and he had another shaky start you're down 3-1, and by that point a goalie switch wouldn't do much.

A goalie change isn't really needed, again missing half your defense is going to cause problems. The other problem which also stems from the missing defense is we can't fucking score on Anderson. Scoring 1 goal a game isn't going to beat anybody.

the defense is whats truly killing due to losing our ability to move the puck. Letang is the 3rd most important piece on this team, and then last game Schultz was out too. Its honestly been impressive we managed to get this far, and I still havent given up on this team yet.
However the goalie change is similar to what happened last year. We benched Murray for a game after a poor performance and basically brought him back one game later. It worked to just give murray a breather.

Must have missed that one. What did Leopold say?
No, it isn't impressive how far the Pens have gotten. Every team deals with injuries. And most importantly every team deals with a rash of injuries in the playoffs, particularly when you get this deep.
You've been without Letang for months. He wasn't expected to step back in. And now you've lost one more, Schultz, for a couple games. Saying you've "lost half your defense" is absurd. This is where depth players step up.
Fucking suck it up and stop making excuses!

The price paid was too high for sure. Oh well.

suck what up? I even said I havent given up. We knew we were without letang. I said before the playoffs started we had no chance without him. Im impressed we managed to pull this far regardless. He averaged almost 30 minutes a game in the 2016 playoffs. Persevering will always be impressive, your dumb dismissive shit doesnt change that.
"You've been without Letang for months. He wasn't expected to step back in."
Actually Letang was thought to be back for the playoffs. It was like a week before they announced he needed surgery.
I agree overall though they need to just step up and play like a team in the Eastern Conference Finals with absurd offensive talent.
