(3)Phoenix Coyotes vs (4)Nashville Predators Someone get the Nyquil series

[WestEndVol]

Go Preds!

 

[Wingingit]

Yotes look like their squeezing them sticks a little, better get some offense going.

 

[Wingingit]

PP Preds

 

[Wingingit]

Yotes on the board,

 

[Wingingit]

That's two for PHX

 

[Wingingit]

Nashville was playing well carrying the play, one break out and boom, yotes score.
This is starting to look familiar.

The amount of luck the Coyotes have gotten in this run is amazing. Maybe it's just destiny for them this year.

It could be density...

It's amazing how often the Yotes have been outplayed, but managed to win. Opportunistic bunch. If they do advance, I'm expecting a lot of 0-0 4OT games. Quick v. Smith.

I know that most all agree that if you are there you deserve to be. its why they play but if the coyotes win and go to the WCF can you not get a touch pissed off that the fans that are selling out the arena were not there all season and now they get to experience this.

 

[pixburgher66]

I think what bothers me more is that there's a very good chance they won't even come back next year. The fans that is. Can you even qualify as bandwagoners when you don't show up until the freaking postseason? Heck, they didn't even sell out the first few postseason games. Well, they didn't fill the building at least.

I know Matt. Doesn't really seem fair that a market who hasn't cared for years suddenly gets handed a chance to see a Cup win. Like I said, the thought of a parade there is sickening to me because most people there really don't deserve it.

The plus side is the players on that team will get to take it home with them to their families and friends.

i went to every game last post season (missed about 1/4 regular season). I was there to the bitter end. I was so exhausted and I see these guys in that stadium in their white with their excitement and I think are they even excited for the hockey? the team? or just the moment. do they care if they lose in the WCF or the Final? would the rest of the community even know?

 

[mattola]

I'm going to predict some serious make up calls this period for the Preds.

 

[mattola]

we all have friends. I have many friends and acquaintances that love hockey. I know a hockey fan from every NHL team

except Phoenix. I dont know one person that cheers for the Coyotes. (maybe Columbus as well but I think their fan base has great potential)

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

Could very well be the last ride for this Predators team. Suter is leaving for sure I think, and who knows if Weber will want to stay after that.

Big PP.

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

This one is over. Smith is just automatic.

 

[pixburgher66]

Think Radulov will stay around if they go out tonight? I don't.

 

[mattola]

This one is over. Smith is just automatic.

yeah I have to agree. he is just there for every save. he gets up so fast for such a big guy.

 

[pixburgher66]

And it is sort of sad knowing that this is the end of this team...I don't think you can replace Suter and Weber if they go...and if Radulov goes too? Could be devasting. Still have Rinne, who is a very very good goalie, but who's gonna score?
