Eklund: Preda Fire Laviolette

e

I'm really liking the Matt Duchene era in Nashville.

They Laviolette him go!





.....I'll see myself out.

Cue the talk of Mike Babcock with Pete DeBoer as assistant coach.

Hunter?

Peter Chiarelli just named coach/Assistant GM to David Poile.

Ekholm to the Leafs, sources say. Probably.

Well, we went from bad to worse..... PLEASE DUMP THE BORING WHITE GUY Matt Duchene he sucks for 9 mil
Dump Ellis
Dump Elkhom
Retire Pekka
Saros is a good back up will never take over as a full time starter

Bad move

Looking at NSH's stats there's only one issue as I see it and it's not the scoring or defense: Goaltending. Nashville has been scoring up a storm, a solid possession team, but bleeding goals.

Nashville allows some of the lowest number of shots per game.

Nasvhille allows the 7th fewest High Danger Chances in the NHL

Rinne is 37 and simply hit the wall. They need a new goalie. That's all.

"Peter Chiarelli just named coach/Assistant GM to David Poile."

That's just mean...

Good move
That room was the worst I have ever seen in the NHL.
When they played like they did against Dallas in the playoffs last year I knew there was a major problem. I have never seen a Preds team like that. Very embarrassing

A rude Jaromir Jagr?
No really, tell us more about the NHL dressing rooms.
You've got me interested.

Aren't the cowboys looking for a new coach? Oh wait!

A mike Sillinger reference automatically sends me a notification

And yesterday Poile announced he wasn't planning on fire Lavy... That was a quick change of heart. I guess the one thing DP can't tolerate is losing to Anaheim. Not surprised by the firing, though the timing feels weird... Nothing against Lavy but this needed to happen. He's been trying to force a system his roster just isn't suited for, and while he's made adjustments at times, he's rarely shown patience enough to stick with them. Poile deserves his share of the blame for the mess he's cobbled together in Nashville, but he's not going to fire himself. Get a coach in here willing to coach to the teams strengths rather than actively game planning against them. Lavy will land on his feet, and coach another team to play above their heads for a couple of years before the players ultimately tune him out again... Seattle maybe?

It's like the old worn out saying goes, Show me a good coach, and I'll show you a good goalie.
I think subpar goaltending has cost him his job. That or the 9 million dollar man is a jinx.

This is one situation where the stats and the eye test just don't match up. If you watch enough Preds games it because easy to tell something just isn't quite right... Too many sloppy turnovers and defensive lapses that directly lead to scoring chances, and with our struggling goal tending... A lot of goals. The problem isn't the amount of chances with Nashville, it's the quality. A lot of issues with basic fundamentals too... Poor puck management, poor passing, difficultly handling passes, and just a general lack of awareness that's led to a lot of consistency issues.

You are right though, the goal tending sucks. There's been a lot of poor defense being played in front of them too however. 7th fewest High Danger Chances just doesn't sound right. It feels like they give up about 20 a game.

OH NO THIS IS GOING TO BE BAD AS WATCHING THE TN VOLS HEADCOACH SEARCH
