Well, with the Preds choking against the Blue Jackets, the dream of 6th place is now just that...a dream. With the Blues beating the Dead Wings, the Predators are now resting in 9th place. They're going to have to run the table from here on, or making the playoffs ain't going to happen. With the Blackhawks tonight, and the Blue Jackets here Saturday, running the table will be a TALL order, to say the least. After that, we face Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota. With the locker room looking like a M*A*S*H unit with all the injuries, the Preds are going to need all the help they can get. Too bad they've got a worthless, no-necked troll for a coach.

Well, they pulled one out of their butts last night, to live to fight another day in the playoff race. They STILL need to play far better than they are now.
IF they make the playoffs, it will of course, be one round and DONE.
Think BEYOND the first round......FIRE TROTZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turn out the lights, the party's over.
Sleepwalking against the Blackhawks didn't help matters.
So much for even making the first round.
FIRE TROTZ NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as it pains me to admit, I gotta agree the party's over. No way in Gehenna that we make the playoffs now. Last night absolutely SUCKED! The only ones who cared if we made the playoffs last night were the fans. The players sure looked like they didn't give a crap. If Trotz can't get his team up in a game of this magnitude then he does need to go. You can blame lack of talent all you want, but there is NO excuse for lack of trying. Also, our players are complete WUSSIES (I would use another word, but I'm trying to be nice)!!! They go out of their way to avoid hitting someone. There was multiple times when the had a bead on someone and could have creamed them, as they were coming in hard, but just as they got to the guy they just stopped. FINISH YOUR CHECKS YOU COWARDS!!! I'm so pissed right now that I can't think straight.

I didn't watch the game last night. But they sure seemed motivated on Saturday night against Columbus.
I think maybe the emotion of Saturday night affected them in the first period on Tuesday. And they came out flat. It probably would have been better if Tuesday night's game was at Chicago.

This team should've come out prepared and ready to play, no matter where the game was played. Coming out flat was not an option. If you can't get motivated this time of the season, you might as well hang up the skates until next year. I'll say it over and over and over again, FIRE BARRY TROTZ!!!!!!!!!

Always great to beat the Dead Wings, but losing against the Wild is NOT an option tonight. It's all on the line tonight. A shame they can't control their own destiny at this point. St. Louis MUST lose!
Yes, the Preds playoff hopes are still alive, but they're definitely on life-support. A loss tonight, will pull the plug.

Well so much for that. No surprize they're blowing it at Minny 5-2 in the third. As I said before, only the fans care about the playoffs. The team only cares about their next golf game.

I enjoyed watching this year's team when they were "on." Unfortunately, most of the time they had their heads stuck up their arse. Housecleaning on the coaching staff? Housecleaning with the players?

Housecleaning on the coaching staff? An absolute must! Or, we will continue seeing the same thing, year after year. Trotz couldn't even get them to the first round this season. TIME FOR POILE AND TEAM MANAGEMENT TO SPROUT A PAIR, AND FIRE THIS NO-NECKED WONDER, INSTEAD OF KISSING HIS BUTT! Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Trotz would have been gone long ago, with any other NHL team. If the Predators want to continue to play in Nashville and keep butts in seats, they'd better WAKE UP, and get some NEW COACHING BLOOD IN HERE!!! Mediocrity does not SELL TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TROTZ!..........YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed, Trotz should have pulled Pekka after the third goal, but the idiot kept him in there and we got embarassed even worse. What a heartbreaking and crappy end to a, for this team, decent season. I hope "Liarpold" and his team enjoys the golf course as much as the Preds will this offseason as Minny ain't going to the playoffs either.
