Qualifying Round Thread-Arizona Coyotes Vs Nashville Predators. 2020

[jf-08]

This game Preds are getting all the bounces, dictating play, and keeping our guys from having clean shots at goal this game.

Yeah, this is brutal to watch.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Well, this is decidedly less fun to watch than Sunday's game.

 

[Jersey Girl]

And, on that note, it's time to get back to work. Hopefully Thursday will be better.

 

[jf-08]

Well, if they gave the hustle that they gave in the last 55 seconds, ... eh, screw it.

Rick Tocchet said Antti Raanta was "unfit to play" due to something that happened in warm-ups, perhaps indicating that head shot was a likely culprit. #Coyotes

What remains unclear is why Raanta remained on the bench until the second period. If he was hurt during warm-ups, why be out there at all? Did Hill need that much time to dress, etc.?

Decent first period but someone needs to finish on those chances. Nashville came hard and were throwing their bodies in front of everything. That is what it takes to win a playoff game. I hope we were taking notes, because we looked like garbage through the second and 19 minutes of the third.

Find the heartbeat, boys, or this will get ugly.

Oh, we could do without all the penalties too. That's what happens when you're out of position all night day.

And seriously, wtf is with Raanta? Dude is made of glass, I'm sorry to say. So frustrating.

I don't think his heart is into playing hockey anymore.

A bunch of pressure right from the puck drop from the Preds.

After 5 minutes - we still don't have a shot on goal vs 8 from the bad guys.

 

[jf-08]

Damn, and just like that, 1st shot - GOAL!!!!!

Dvorak with the deflection off a Hjarlmarsson shot!!!

 

[jf-08]

DK35 is standing on his head. Holy crap. Being outshot 12-2 officially and 19-5 unofficially 8 minutes into the game.

 

[jf-08]

Shots 17-3, scoring chances 10-2 in favor of the Preds with 7:00 left in 1st.

We better start putting some better O together.

 

[jf-08]

Vinnie with a backhand off the pipe...so close.

 

[jf-08]

End of 1st - 1-0. The effort surely increased toward the end of the period. DK35 was incredible. Unofficially 19 saves in the 1st, most that he's had this year in a period.

 

[jf-08]

OEL takes a hard check and got up gingerly but looks okay.

 

[jf-08]

Dammit, 1-1. Turnover at center-line and a missile from Arvidsson and OEL goes to locker room for concussion protocol.

 

[jf-08]

OEL back in.

 

[jf-08]

Well, 1-1 after 2 periods. Coyotes ramped up their attack a bit and put some pressure on Saros.

Kessel finally showing some effort.

 

[jf-08]

Whoa......Connor Garland with one heck of a shot with a dandy setup by Stepan!!! 2-1!!!

"Dirty toe drag!"

 

[Ronin]

Connor!
