Subban: "We're come ready next game. We're still learning."

What? Your entire team has played hockey for 20 years of their lives, what the fuck else do you have to learn? You didn't come prepared for games 1 or 2?

Rinne: "It's really hard to make a save when you allow odd-man rushes all the time."

Is Rinne blaming his teammates for all 8 goals scored against him through games 1 & 2?

Guys, I'm literally shaking right now. We CAN'T let the pens win again. The bad buys are literally celebrating right now and because of what? A couple of missed saves by Saros? Finnish goaltending is still elite. Finland has the best youth programmes right now and Juuse proves that. He saved far more than he let in. This whole situation makes me sick. And the fact that so many of you don't understand what's a sake here is disturbing. You might think it's funny to post PENS IN 4 and PREDDIT ON SUICIDE WATCH but you don't realise you're enabling generational talents like crosby to sit out for 2 (TWO) whole games and STILL win. You're KILLING hockey and you're problematic. Go preds.

I would pay $100 to end the postseason right now and just let cuntsby and shitcunt pens hang on to the cup for another year instead of having to watch it play out again and get sick to my stomach every other night.

No one is going to beat them. I said it last year in the first round, and I feel the exact same way now.

I hate them so fucking much. I hate them like ISIS hates the western world. I need to vent this shit.

no. they just had the same meme as this year where they were the Syracuse Blots for 3/4 the season and couldnt win a game to save their life until it was too late. Then the pongs intentionally let the laffs into the playoffs so the only threatening team in the east besides the pens wouldnt make the playoffs.

Nah, he had literally one job the past few years and that was to pass it to Josi. Let's not get delusional here.

To me Ellis has been alright, but Ekholm has been dreadful. Seems like literally everything has gone wrong every time he gets a chance to make a meaningful play like he's lost all confidence. Kind of a miracle they have managed to control play so much with that going on. If Rinne wasn't so bad people would be talking about him.

>>76250644
Doubt it. Weber knows he'd help them win the cup if he was there. It's probably killing him knowing he was traded right when it's their year.

they only shoot on high scoring opportunities because they're a possession team, shooting bad shots loses possession. a lot of their goals are snipes, odd man breaks, or when they have numbers in front and bang it home.

when they're not scoring they force shots and put up more shots. this is a completely made up explanation

>>76250804
one of the nerds on twitter pointed out that in their past series they still led scoring chances while being outshot but that's not happening now, it's basically just Rinne

Ducks offense is pretty good though. They should have been able to force 7 to be honest but rinne stood on his head in game 6

with saros the preds will win. Rinne has always sucked a fat one against the penguins.

>>76250415
So if the predators get a 7-0 blowout and hold the penguins to 4 shots, the penguins are still going to win the cup right?

>>76250838

Capitals blew them out in game six and then when the Penguins were basically set to lose, they folded like a house of cards.

Ottawa had the same thing.

It's like the Pens have a bad night and just fucking fall asleep that night, and then the next game they're like 'what happened? We gotta be better than that.'

Penguins are gonna fuck around in one of the Nashville games and lose but the Preds aren't up for it. Flipped the switch in the third and and they had no answer.

>>76251076
Rinne has been trash against the Pens his entire career. It's really not that surprising.

Saros will start. Lavy went to Ward in Carolina to win too. He knows you have to do it sometimes.

>>76251223
except the backup is already better than rinne right now. In the limited number of starts Saros had he outplayed Rinne. Especially against big name teams, with the penguins when the predators suited up an ahl team against the caps

I still think Pekka has just had horrific luck on a lot of goals. He'll respond. He has all postseason

>>76251222
The only reason why I think rinne should start one more game is because he's legit the reason they are here. And now he's the reason they'll be swept. They live and die by him this post season

>>76251223
every time i laugh at/about rinne it makes me feel bad in my very core, but my god, it feels so wonderful as well. he's like a lost pup just wanting so badly to be the best-in-show

Preds always give up in the face of adversity like that. I don't think it was anything the Penguins did in the third that shut them down. Rinne lost them the game and they accepted it at that point.

That's a large part of the reason they can't score 6 on 5 against anyone too (other part of course is coaching). And you'd see it in the regular season when they'd play 3 on 3 now too. They just know they'll lose.

>>76251246
>in this small sample size of games he looks really good!

Next you're gonna boast about him beating Pittsburgh 5 games into the season with fleury in the net

>>76251246
Technically he made 2 saves on 2 shots tonight, but really gave up a goal on a 3rd shot that was canceled out. Pens crush Finnish goalies.

>>76251235

Murray is a systembabby

hes above average at best

Reddit guaranteed me there would be catfish tonight.

>>76251317
>he went to reddit

I don't shit about Saros but it seems like career suicide to throw a rookie goalie to the wolves like that. For player and coach. As someone said it's ride or die with Rinne because he got you there. You switch now you're basically waving the white flag. If Saros goes out there and get BTFO well, who knows? Goalies are weird, man. That WJC loss fucked up Fleury for years. Murray is an exception but played the whole playoffs due to injury. Ward as well. They weren't thrown into the fucking finals against the best offense in the league.

Murray is deceptively elite. Scoring chances this game were 19-5 NSH after 40 minutes when the score was still 1-1. He ends the game saving 37 of 38 shots. If Fleury puts on the same performance, the media and yinzers praise him nonstop for the next two days. Murray will hardly get a pat on the back from these same people while hoisting his second Cup.

>>76251327
Laviolette just signed an extension and got the Preds their first banner (it's not a cup but it's still an accomplishment for a franchise with no division titles or anything) years ahead of schedule. I don't see starting Saros hurting him any.

Debatable if it hurts Saros' confidence in the long run, but I think it would be worse to start Rinne and not give yourself a chance to win at all.

>>76251370

That's the real danger there. They get too complacent. In front of Rinne they know they have to try really hard because he'll let a ton of shit in, but they think Saros can do everything when he's playing.

Poor fleury should be in net still

People in Pitt have such an unnatural hard-on for Fleury. I've personally never been a big fan of him. He's way to inconsistent not to mention his pure athleticism hides the fact he's out of position A LOT. When he has to make 6 out of 10 saves look like some highlight reel save there's an issue. Murray is just so much better. Almost always square to the puck, absorbs shots, rarely lets out some crazy rebound, and he's so much better at stick handling the puck. Murray dictates the play. I've had this conversation more times than I care to remember and most times it falls on deaf ears because of this cities blind love for Fleury.
