freakingeek Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 This team took a while to gel but they winning games and are really fun to watch. Great mixture of youth and veteran players and Andrew Burnett has them playing a relentless physical brand of hockey at the perfect time. Great team chemistry. They have been an exceptional team on the road which bodes well for a playoff run. Barry Trotz's first season as an NHL GM is looking like a good one.

For a while it looked like they were tanking--and then became the hottest team in the sport. It's certainly more of a longshot that not, but I give them a punchers chance depending on who they match up with in the playoffs because they have the kind of elite goal tending that could win a cup. How insane would that be?   freakingeek, and MadMax 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMax Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 I doubt there's a team out there looking forward to a playoff series against the Preds.  After the beat down from Dallas, they've arguably been the best team in the league.

Bink Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 I hate the Sharks. Damn that game was satisfying.  Since we're Preds fans here, I've always kind of loved the fact that my Tennessee rooting interests have always been grounded in the number 9.  As a kid, obviously the Titans were defined by McNair who was my favorite player.  In 2010, the Grizzlies signed Tony Allen (Grit and Grind grizzlies)  Then Forsberg comes along to Nashville in 2013.  Safe to say 9 has become my favorite number. MadMax, and freakingeek 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get get stronger and faster as the game progresses so by the third period they were cranking. When Zucker and Beauvillier acclimate, this team will be a force to be reckoned with. Forsberg has matured as a player and his puck handling skill is next to none. That shot and the speed that he plays with are deadly. I believe this team is as good as the team that won the president's trophy and they are still developing as a unit. I let me season tickets go about 4 years ago but I'll be attending some more games this year. I'm reaaly pumped about our guys.  MadMax 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely something special going on here and this comes from someone who has paid close attention and was a STH for most of their time in Nashville. The perfect mix of youth and experience and outstanding team chemistry is amazing. Trotz has his fingerprints all over this team. MadMax 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down 3-0 early, a recipe for a letdown game and to phone it in with the foregone conclusion the streak is over.  Not this team. I don't think people realize for much of the early part of this season the narrative was to trade a generational goalie and tank. We are now just for games back of a hosting a playoff series as the 4 seed--with the best winning streak the franchise has ever seen.  The Josi goal in OT was beautiful.  MadMax, and freakingeek 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wakeup call is not a bad thing if it doesn't become a trend. Afterall, it was a wakeup call when the Stars kicked their ass at Bridgestone and it started the 18 game point streak. MadMax 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakingeek Posted April 5 Author Report Share Posted April 5 (edited) The losing streak was bound to happen. It was a market correction. I am glad that it's over. They played pretty well last night against a really desperate Blues team and got the 2 points. Time to get our mojo back into form. I'd love to see us break 100 points on the season. 8 games to go!
