There's always next year. Probably not, but better than what I really want to type right now.

 

[YankeeVol]

And that will be the series. Even if we win the next game, I can't see us winning 3 in a row.

Not with Smith playing so well

 

[Escape Goat]

Absolutely blew the best chance this club may ever have.

Losing Suter is gonna hurt

Hornqvist..........

How the **** did we lose that game????? We outplayed them all game and should have scored at least 2 or 3 of those empty net chances. Then, we lose on a fluke own goal.

 

[YankeeVol]

At least we still have the Grizz

 

[OrangeWilly]

You just need to worry about winning 2.

Get it to a game 7 where anything can happen.

 

[Thrasher865]

Won 3 in a row against Detroit, with 2 of them on the road......

Just sayin' :wink:

Yep. Rads will be gone, etc, etc, etc. There was also a very concerning article in the tennessean two days ago about how the PREDS are still losing money in a big way. The pinnacle of this franchise might very well be the final win of the series against Detroit. Went from smelling line roses to smelling like shat in the coarse of the two games in phoenix I am afraid.

 

[OrangeWilly]

I dont think losing Suter will hurt as much as many people think.

Being 21st in attendance doesn't help

[Thrasher865]

Well, hope you guys enjoyed the golden years of the franchise as much as I did.

 

[YankeeVol]

'twas fun while it lasted

 

[Velo Vol]

Home shutout blows.

Not sure how great of a chance this is the way the Kings are playing.

Actually 20th for home games.

Still bad to be behind Tampa Bay.

thurs, fri and saturday games are packed. It's the tues/wed 7:00 games that lag behind, but still good crowds. Just not a large enough area.

With us possibly losing suter, rads, etc, we may have really been All in for this season. One chance to get to the SCF and cement our place with a generation of fans and Nashville sports. I have been nervous all year thinking about what this team may look like over the next 2-3 seasons

Bingo.

Even if they sold out every home game they would still be way off the pace from the Detroits and Chicago's of the world.

 

[YankeeVol]

Would they sell the tickets if they had a larger arena is the real question

 

[Spartacavolus]

Don't think so. Many people that go to the games are suburb and have families. Staying out till 10:30-11 on a tuesday night is more difficult.

 

[OrangeWilly]

That's the million dollar question. There is a ton of money in Nashville. That's why I was really hoping we would at least make the conference finals.

 

[Velo Vol]

People second-guessing the suspended player handling. If the team was better without them in game four, what's different about game five?

 

[amazingGRACE]

Nothing at all.

If we would have won that game, everybody would be praising trotz for making a good choice and keeping the team first.

But we didn't, so he gets blasted. Funny how it works.

 

[YankeeVol]

Should have won that game. Preds had all kinds of scoring opportunities, just couldn't capitalize
