it's crazy how f'ing trash Pekka Rinne has been this year. He's ruining Nashville's season. All-Star tho.

Nashville's complete inability to convert on quality chances is ruining their season, but Rinne's mediocrity certainly doesn't help. He fell off after his injury last season and has yet to recover.

The Preds are 21st in all situations Sh%, and 20th in goals scored. That is certainly not great.

But they rank 29th in Save%. So Rinne definitely seems like the bigger problem. Doesn't help that you guys don't have a good backup to cover for his bad year either.

Honestly goalies are so easy to acquire these days, Canes could acquire one without hurting the retool. They could have gotten Khuboudin back from waivers for example.

I think they should get one and go for it.

As soon as that Kreider shot ended up all the way back in the other end, you knew that had to be going in. That's what always happens on those.

If AV didn't scratch Jayson Megna today, this would have been the first game in NHL history to feature two Floridian players. Megna and Ghost Bear.

Oh well. Another day, perhaps.

I just realized all the first rounders that we've traded between 2006 to 2010 have been busts except Ryan McDonagh and I guess Jared Tinordi

This is why i'm never on board with the Timmins balls licking. Yes he got a couple of nice late picks, but so did a ton of other head scouts. His 1st pick track record is absolute trash.

Never forget 2003, just look at the list of players who got draft after Kostitsyn in the first 2 rounds

LOOK AT IT

Carter
Brown
Seabrook
Getzlaf
Burns
Kesler
Richards
Perry
Eriksson
Klein
Bergeron
Weber
Crawford
Backes
MacArthur

I mean, not every pick can be as amazing as Hugh Jessiman, that's certainly true.

Look at all the 1st round picks Toronto had in that draft.
