Preds Make Avs Pay for Bad Penalties, 3-5

Coming off a really nice win, this was a disappointing effort.  Nashville dominated the game - it was more lopsided than the final score indicated.  The Avs were only able to grab 2 of 8 points in the season series with Nashville.  I’m glad to be done with the Preds - they don’t make mistakes and they have probably outworked the Avs in every game.
  • Stastny wasn’t good enough tonight.  The game broke open in the 2nd when Stastny took an awful delay of game penalty putting an offensively fragile Nashville on a 5 on 3.  By the end of the period, the Preds would break out of their funk in a big way - scoring 4 goals.
  • Speaking of bad penalties, you might not see a worse one this season than one Duchene took for continuing to hold on to his stick well after it broke.
  • Notice that Nashville made the Avs pay for both of those dumb infractions taken by their star centers.
  • O’Reilly was great on the 5-3.. . And then moments later, Arnott scored on Stastny’s horrible penalty and O’Reilly wasn’t any good the rest of the game.
  • McLeod’s best game in a really long time.  He was a legitimate offensive force tonight.  You can’t expect that out of #55 every game, but it would be nice if we can get that out of him through the Olympic break.
  • The only reason the Avs were even sort of in this game was due to a couple of isolated, special plays by Stewey and Duchene.
  • Anyone else notice that Cumiskey falls down an awful lot?
  • Hornqvist has to have the worst bleached hair job in the NHL.
  • @AnyonebutNas Nashville fans threw hats on the ice for a guy who only scored 1 goal in the game.  #FAIL
  • Mark Rycroft is so much more entertaining than Brian Engblom.
Next game: A Hockey Night in Canada game - at home against Edmonton, 8PM MST

For being such a below average player, Rycroft is a great analyst with lots of personality. I still like Engblom though. We have two really great analysts, its just too bad PR is our host. He's excitable, but stutters too often

I'm on board with the Oilers losing tonight, but this is just embarrassing. Not sure why they have to bad quite this bad on Hockey Night in Canada, lol...
