It's not that they lost, it's how they lost. Ask any Preds fan about that and they can point out similar playoff games in the past. It's getting to be an annual thing. How have they fared when that happens? I'll wait...

This team is too inconsistent to be a winner. Sure, they may get lucky and win this series (I doubt it), but they'll get killed the next. Somehow, somewhere, this team lost the mojo it had the past few years. Or maybe they just really overachieved and this is who they are.

I don't think they should blow up the team if they lose, but I'm starting to jump on the 'fire Lavy' train. Too much garbage has been happening all year and nothing has changed. PP, discipline, lack of effort...something's off with this team. They really don't seem interested. And as a fan, that's exactly where I'm getting too.

My god scratch Ekholm... he has been awful, just awful, not just playing bad, but its costing us goals against. Keep Boyle out keep Rocco.

I really like Lavy, but there is no excuse for the Power Play to be this impotent, someone's head needs to roll.

Lets say for argument sake that we get booted in this series. What does Pole do??? Lavy got the tools he wanted and still couldn't produce a consistent winner. I'm with the other posters, something in off with this team, the chemistry isnt where it was when Mike Fisher was around. I'm not sure what need to be changed....

Oh Paul, I tried to watch Animal House, it didnt do anything for me. Sorry... I guess I would have had to be there when ii came out, kind of like the first star wars movies, by the time I watched them they were a cli·ché. Luke I'm your father! yeah no some saw that coming in 1993...

Win or lose today, just show the effort that you want to win the Cup and I'll be ok with that.

Edit/ not ok

What planet are you from???? Insight from Paul? Who are you kidding? He's a blabbering billboard for the so called "Pred Nation". You know why they lost......The fans certainly did not bring it today! The overhyped "fan base" was a morgue today....I've heard libraries louder than the "Cup Starved" fan base in Nashville.....A total embarrassment...even the pre school chants lacked any sort of enthusiasm....

My gut tells me Predators management will not authorize him to publish anything....similar to game 4....

Like I said before.....no point in ever visiting Nashville....they don't want tourism and you can't even buy a drink....NO CUPS!

Maybe not...just took a look at Game 6's...All time 7 wins / 6 losses....

But...

There's been 8 Game 6's under Lavy: 6 wins and 2 losses

And the last two were wins on the road last year in Colorado and Winnipeg

It's not over...yet

(yeah, we'll win in Dallas, and blow it at home in Game 7, lol)

Get your crap together! We need you in the second round, you’re easier to beat than Dallas.

HAHA your asking way to much, the Preds want to go to the golf course. I say just forfeit game six, and let the 2018-2019 season end without any more embarrassment

IF the preds play Monday.. My pick Dallas 10-2..
OR Start Sarros, sit Ekholm, bring in MaCloud and just jumble the devil out of the lines, what do you have to lose? They have let Dallas embarrass them for two games, give Pekka a rest.

Don't matter what they try to do. Like I said before this team is not the same. Whatever happened to their swagger. From the outside could it be a locker room issue?.
Seriously asking have anyone of you guys or gal's heard anything remotely to this. This team has way too much talent to just not make it out of the 1st round.
