I had to post this as I am on the Preds for tomorrow night with their game against the Pens. Game is in Pitt and at first glance a few nights ago I thought the Pens would be in revenge mode from their 6-0 loss at Nashville a few weeks ago. Not anymore. This Pens team has thrown in the towel. After watching them play Ott. on Sun. night I thought it could have been 6-2 or worse. This team has no puck carrying defenseman and they lack scoring from every line. Now after today this Pens team is possibly saying they won't have a team next year.
They traded possibly their 2 best defenseman in Moran and Bergevin outside of Tarnstrom. These two guys were big leaders in the room, believe it or not, real character guys. Moran had played his whole career in Pitt. They then trade Primeau, Donovan and Hridna. So now they have lost 3 more forwards and their skill level helped this team alot with their speed as well. They got in return for these 5 guys all prospects and Holzinger from TB. Nobody left on this team knows what the last game was like between these two and it would not surprise me at all if Pitt. did not win another game this year. This franchise has fallen hard so fast and it is quite sad. 9 game losing streak, the longest since Mario's rookie year. I look for a much better effort from the Preds who are only 5 pts. out of the playoffs with a game in hand.
Playing Nashville for 5 Units at whatever the line is. Could be the first time this year the Preds are road favs.
Hope this info helps!
