Need to replace Kane and Seth Jones tonight. And maybe Rask

Dude, you are just flat out wrong. In the 3 previous games, at 5 on 5, when the score was even, Nashville had 65% possession, to Chicago's 35%.

When Nashville took the lead... they sat back.

They dominated them.
- sbroads24

What we're the possession stats when the lead was 2 or less for either team?
Bc I guarantee, there's no way either team (especially Nashville) decided to "sit back" with a lead of 2 or less

I'd rather him than Pegula to be honest. Pegula is the guy who hired Rec and Bylsma after all.
- bluengold12

Pegula needs help .. starting to get really aggravated

He should learn a thing or two from Mark Cuban

How many times have the Mavericks missed the playoffs I think 2 in their history ugh

Or the Hawks stepped it up when they were down by 1
You really think the Preds "sat back" thinking a 1 goal lead vs the Hawks was enough?
That's crazy

And it's not like the Hawks were ripping 20 shots on goal when they were down by 3 with 10 minutes left

The defining stats that tell the story of this series...
are Rinne's save %
Vs Crawford's

That's what happened, FACT

Here's another fact for ya.

At 5 on 5

Scoring chances (through 3 games)

Nashville 26
Chicago 15

Dominated

So, I'm going to fax my resume in for Sabres GM. Who wants to be a character reference for me will have a cushy scouting job with their name on it?

Hey man, don't get upset at me because you asked a question and I answered.

Hawks were the better team for about two periods in that 4 game series
- sbroads24

I'm not upset
You're picking at stats to fit your narrative

We might need to come up with a handshake agreement so you don't steal my player

You scratch my back I'll scratch yours

Why wouldn't he?
This is not a surprise
And it makes sense

You'd like him to bring in someone with hockey experience as a President of sorts to interview prospective GM candidates not a billionaire who cares more about your personality than how good of a player evaluater you are.

Did you watch the broadcasts in game 1-3? They mentioned it like 5 times.

As soon as Nashville got a lead they smothered Chicago

Hockey isn't just played 5 v 5
The game isn't over when a team takes a 1 goal lead

There's a whole bunch of stats you're trying to say don't count

U wanna say the Hawks shots don't count when it was 3-0 or 4-0, etc...
ok
I can totally understand that

But shots count when you're down 1 or 2

We might need to come up with a handshake agreement so you don't steal my player

You scratch my back I'll scratch yours

And who is "your" player?

- sbroads24

That doesn't mean they "sat back"
They still tried to shoot the puck
The Preds didn't just sit back in their own end & let the Hawks pepper Rinne

What you're suggesting didn't really happen

And who is "your" player?
- chilliard77

I have my eye on someone that is from Nashville

I'm not sure how else to put this.

You said the advanced stats were wrong because Chicago out shot them.

I'm showing you why they did. It's plain as day to see. When the game was close Nashville had more shots and scoring chances. They take lead, they then play cautiously. I'm not sure what else to say

Ok... but idk how that tweet said Pegula wouldn't bring in a hockey guy for team President

And I'm still assuming that if/when he does,
Pegula would still wanna be involved
By that, I think it means he'd wanna be kept in the loop
Maybe even be at the interviews

That doesn't mean he's gonna still pick the coach & GM though

Hardee's is awesome! Don't pass it up if you get the chance.

Anson Carter for GM

You guys should hire Benning and Ruff again

My issue is that you're cherry picking

"Close" doesn't mean tied and only 5v5

What were the shots when the lead was 2 goals or less?
Good teams don't sit back with 1 goal leads
And usually not with 2 goal leads either, not in the playoffs

You're throwing out too many stats that u say don't count
And shots on goal when the score is 1-0 in the 2nd period should still matter when it comes to this doscussion

I stopped eating hamburgers in September lol I'll get back to it in the summertime

But those places are pretty incredible but it's a heart attack lol

But I suggest you go .. and to make you feel more like poop they have the nutrition facts

Hardee's is awesome! Don't pass it up if you get the chance.

I gotta go. Think I saw one in Delaware. None near me. There are Chik-Fil-A's though and their spicy chicken sandwich with barbecue sauce is as good as it gets. They put pickles on their chicken sandwiches. Amazing.
