Paul McCann: Crushed

Thank God, now we won’t have to look at those awful puke yellow jerseys anymore or hear how Nashville is such a great team, because they’re not

Might be time to sell on PK Subban

Some very good teams who have never won a Cup (Nashville, Winnipeg, etc) or who haven't won one recently (Tampa, Calgary, etc) are going to look back and see this season as a huge missed opportunity. Imagine a final four of Carolina/Cbus/Dallas/Colorado - feels like it's one of those rare, crazy postseasons.

$4+ Million / year for Arvidsson and no points in 6 games. Awful.

^^THIS^^ Except for one important edit!!

Imagine a final four of Carolina/Cbus/STL/Col

Rocco was dangerous all night ... He's a solid player.. better than I thought.

Preds had plenty of chances .. I mean Plenty -
Bishop was just other worldly good. He made at least 6 or 7; 10 bell saves.

Neither team is particularly good but nice to see Dallas move on.

Might be time to sell on PK Subban

Hoping for Caps/Blues - if Caps lose, Leafs/Blues.

The Lehner has risen.

The next dynasty begins.

Give the Stars full marks for beating the Preds. They played well. There are two components to the Preds failure - 1st line got smoked by Dallas' first line & the Power Play was nonexistent. If the first line puts up 4-5 goals, and the power play converts at even 15% (instead of ZERO), the Preds win the series. That's why I think it would be foolish to blow up the roster. Forsberg, Arvidsson, Eckholm & Ellis had a terrible series. So did the coaching staff. They need to be accountable for that.

Here are my key off-season moves in order of importance:

1. If Lavy is retained, he must make changes. First off, re-hire Phil Housley to retool the power play and improve team defense.

2. Re-sign Roman Josi. This may include trading Ellis or Subban to free up the cap dollars.

3. Unload Turris - at any cost, even if Poile has to retain a little bit of salary. Sometimes you have to be willing to admit a mistake and overpay to fix it.

4. Sign a top-six forward (Duchene/Pavelski/Etc.) - even if Poile has to overpay.

5. Re-sign Sissons and Grimaldi. Both should be able to be signed to affordable deals.

What's with all the hate from Hawks fans?

Among other things, they don't sell tickets to Blackhawk games in Nashville to people with Chicago area zip codes.

And their fans think a sing-song chant after a Preds goal will 'unnerve' the opposing goalie.

And they supported the Confederacy.

So, the banner raising next fall will be for the 'Central Division Regular Season Champions'?

And they supported the Confederacy.

and probably still do.

Dude, don't even bother trying to talk sense right now. Let the trolls and the vultures have their fun. Give it a couple of days and then we can all start moaning and groaning and looking towards the future.

Along with a “Best Fans Ever” banner - because that’s how those self-righteous dimwits that flock to Bridgestone arena view themselves. Any fan base that celebrates those juvenile crowd chants deserves all the disappointment that can be lumped on them.

For real.

I have been to playoff game in Nashville - it’s as close to a Trump/MAGA rally or perhaps a Jerry Springer show as I’ll ever get.

They painted a car with Blackhawks logos and let people hit it with a hammer before the game. Ignorance and conviction walking hand-in-hand...

For real??

Yup
