  4. How fucking poetic that we lose the season closer on another absolutely horseshit call by the refs. They were on a mission all season long.

  5. That game had all the same swings as the season. Came out dramatically flat, started raging when our aging first line started rippin it, then piddled out at the very end and got fucked by the refs.

  6. Fitting the season ended with questionable officiating.

    The kids looked good. There’s a lot to look forward to. But, please, please don’t bring back Barron and Skjei should be shopped.

  7. Great to lose for lottery odds of course, but I’m so tired of NHL reffing man. Terry clearly lifted one of our guys’ sticks and it hit him. The refs even reviewed it and still called it a penalty. Again, it’s best that we lost, but where’s the integrity 😭

  12. Is everyone just in here parroting Daunic and Mason? Yes, Terry lifted Jost’s stick, Jost is still 100% responsible for his stick in that situation. I don’t know why this is so difficult to understand.

  13. The game that got us McKenna. See you next season. On over the air broadcast with a new coach, a new first overall pick, new GM, and Brady Martin.

  14. Not a great season overall. Not big on finishing in the mushy middle. But we got a 40 goal season from both Fil and Stammer, a lot of our young guys had a good season, and Annunen is looking like he’s developing nicely. Hoping that our next GM builds on our positives

  15. It’s been fun friends. Hopefully we get a solid first round pick from the lottery and make the right moves this offseason.

  18. Fil gets 40, Stammer adds a couple more, O’Hara gets a point, and they slide another spot in the standings slightly increasing their odds. About as good as this game could have gone.

    See y’all next year.

  19. 2 goal nights from Fil and Stammer and losing to jump to the 10th spot at the draft is a major win

  20. JFresh preseason prediction for the Preds: 87 points.
    Predators actual season: 86 points.

    About what we all expected.

    Also since it’s the end of the season I just want to drop this here. July 15th 2024 – right after Stamkos was signed.

    I’m feeling less catastrophic about it now but only because finishing 3rd bottom last year was such an epic collapse it was unpredictable. Last season probably should have been a lot more like this season. Regardless, walking away from this experiment in building through middle-aged, free agent vets with a 5th and a (pending) 10th overall pick is not a bad result. Some of the kids look good. Hoping kids like Martin and Lee can translate what they’re doing into the NHL. I just don’t think it’s enough quite yet. I want The Guy.

  22. Hate we lost the game but my kid was pumped to get Saros’ stick at the end of the game!

  23. Only in the 2021-2022 season have we ever had 2 40-goal scorers. That year was Forsberg and Duchene, now we have Forsberg and Stamkos.

    Evangelista and O’Reilly ended with well over 40 assists.
