Media whining? Since when is calling out the league's worst power play whining? With the talent on this team it should be MUCH better. And someone should be held accountable for this. Oh, sorry, I guess I'm whining.

Eventually, this is going to catch up with them.

It's not whining at all, it's called doing their jobs. With all do respect Paul, we're not all paid cheerleaders for the team, and we don't have to pretend everything is sunshine and rainbows. It'd be irresponsible to ignore a glaring weakness that's somehow been a major problem for 85 games now! Yes, we're all sick of hearing about it, we're all sick of talking about it, but we're not at liberty to pretend the PP is *not* an issue. I will say that the PP hasn't looked horrible in the first three games despite not scoring... They're getting better looks and better chances, but it hasn't been enough yet. Until they can start making teams pay for playing extra aggressive against them on the PP it's not going to get any better.

Last night's win was encouraging. Dallas played well last night, in fact they probably gave the Preds they're best shot, but it wasn't quite enough. Hopefully the Stars will be desperate enough tomorrow night that the tight defense they've been playing might loosen up a little.

Very well said.....It's great that even Preds fans are calling out the crap that Paul writes! Paul complaining about whining is like the pot calling the kettle black. Paul its the poster boy for whining! But again, when you're paid by the team, and I'm sure the team proofs his blogs before he publishes, he's backed into a corner and has to write the crap that he does....just hoping the Preds fans that read his posts are smarter than he thinks they are....The most blatant post was his after the Preds lost game 1 to Dallas....most comical one yet.....

Can't wait for the next Fantasy Island post that is coming!

Well Crap, the Jackets just showed everybody why they don't hand out the Cup in April. Wonder what that one Bolts fan who was talking like the NHL should Fedex the cup to Tampa back in February thinks now. Congrats to Trotzy for his Islanders sweeping out the Pens too. Amazing night of hockey.
