Now that the outdoor games are over let's get back to what everyone cares about most: Streak Watch 2016 2017

 

I think the Oilers get the Jackets tonight and if we have to lose to end the streak I'd rather it be them than against the Capitals or Rangers. Not letting myself think about the record right now. It's preposterous that we're even in this position.

Be that as it may, it's coming from roughly the same place as the Perds fans who get sore after a loss to the Hawks and go "well at least we don't have black people shooting each other"

 

Better or worse than limiting playoff tickets to only those with a Nashville zip code?

I swear I'm dreaming. This Jackets team has no flaws. This time last year the Jackets were basically guaranteed to be out of the playoffs and now they're basically guaranteed to be in the playoffs.

This Jackets team is riding a .940 goalie and a 28% power play conversion rate. There will be a drop-off at some point in the season; it's just a matter of how significant, how the team pulls out of it, and how many players get injured the rest of the way. This team is way more fun and successful than I ever thought it would be. The people laying down at 7:1 for Vegas' sudden Stanley Cup favorites are suckers of the highest order.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

One of the reasons why Vegas has big shiny casinos.

Yeah I would not put money on this team to win it all. That's putting the cart way before the horse. I'm just hoping they win a playoff round, but not even thinking about that right now. Just enjoying the ride.  

 

I think once the streak ends and once the schedule starts to bunch up a bit more then Tortorella will pull back more. I don't think he really cares about the streak and I think the players just started to care when they beat Minnesota. He's got them playing at a good pace and he's riding Bobrovsky hard. I think we'll start to see more of McElhinney in the second half.

 

But what's really funny to me is according to the Lamberts of the world this is all "luck"* when for 15 years they had no luck and bad luck. If all it is is good luck then I'll gladly take it because we are way overdue for some good luck. 

 

 

 

 

 

*Ever since Lambert said we were too poorly educated to grasp something as advanced as high shooting percentage they literally haven't lost. Ahahaahahahah what a stupid a***ole!

Last night was the first time I had seen the Jackets this year and wow, I was blown away by how good they are. They absolutely smother you on defence, swarm the puck at every chance, and not one player goes to waste. Mix that with an elite goalie and you've got a hell of a team.

Nashville Predators America's Favorite Hockey Team: Pekka Rinne has a .965 save percentage this year. Most people would probably agree that's pretty good I think.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫
