The Predators' first 1.5 minutes are the ninth time they've had possession like that, and we haven't come within 50% of replicating it even once

We're losing 4-1

This is the kind of game we'll play well in in 2 years, tonight it's not going to be as simple as Jack flipping a switch or Phil saying the right words. Just hoping for the bounces in this one.

If it gets Dahlin and Jack on the ice at the same time I'd almost prefer the 4v4 tonight to a PP

I'm all in on a completely different look. See how Scheifele plays in the slot? Put Jack there. Sam on the right boards, Okposo in Jack's spot. Dahlin at the point and Mitts in a corner. IDK. Something different.

Sobotka is so good at taking clean possession from a glorious position on the ice and turning it into a rush the other way within 2 seconds, without coming close to a shot on goal

Dammit Brawndo slow down. Girgensons is our best defensive forward and it's not particularly close

The worst he's looked since @San Jose

I highly doubt that was offsides but they will never not blow an imperfect rush down

Jack draws lots of penalties.

Nashville is crippling our forecheck with how fast they move the puck. There's not even much you can do about it. Fun team. We can take 'em though.

Larry with a terrible decision there. Get it to your teammate to get it deep, don't just put it at the blue line for Nashville's D to grab. Created a 2 on 1.

Nice hitting boys And Dahlin is decent

Ugh that was a dangerous shot from Jack. Just didn't go.

They should go back to a 1-8 playoff seeding too, so Toronto isn't stuck playing the 3rd best team in the entire league, the Buffalo Sabres, in the 1st round.

He's played in some epic games against this team fairly recently.

Sam has six goals in his last 4 games in Nashville

Sorta wish Skinner would have fed Jack for that one-timer but I'll take the goal haha.

Yeah buddy!

I understand Rodrigues' limitations and that his game has been bad tonight, but in a game where only about 3 of our players have been able to skate with the puck anywhere, those guys are inherently going to look worse skating and then losing the puck than the Sabres who can't do anything and just chip it to a soft area in a game against a team like Nashville

It is honestly shocking how slow Nashville makes us look.

Rinne has single-handedly stalled all of our evenings by ten minutes.

Well you see we need to make sure that the Coyotes can send *checks notes* Michael Grabner and that the Kings can send *flips page* Ilya Kovalchuk. And don't forget about *squints* Cody Eakin of the Vegas Golden Knights

And Pilut wasn't some star out there but he wasn't any worse than any other Sabre. I'm not going to spend any more time worrying about him in this one

And I miss the Stars-Sabres games
