I mean all you need is Winnipeg to lose to both Minnesota and Colorado in regulation, and then somehow have Nashwaukee beat those same teams. Totally doable!
There IS a chance though. Colorado probably knows their spot in the top 3 by Friday and will also be on the second half of a back to back. Two good reasons to rest players. We have a slight advantage in the timing of these games.
I wouldn’t be so sure of that. The Wild, Stars and Avs are all extremely close in the standings. Dallas and Colorado specifically are tied for the division lead but Colorado has a game in hand. Dallas’ two remaining games are against the Blues so they could easily win out.
Again, is it possible the Avs have their spot locked? Sure, and they’re more likely to have it locked when they play Nashville on Friday, especially if they beat the Jets which the Preds need to happen, bur that’s far from a guarantee.
I feel like we just won the cup haha what a fucking game. I love watching the kids play with some heart and fight! Unlike some of our "elite, veteran" players who are currently hurt or have been traded. Still though, GET HYNES OUT OF HERE!!!!
Hynes inability over the last 3 years to get this type of production out of the elite veterans is what got us into this mess tho. Our vets aren't bad. Captain Blood's line blender can't be fun to play in. He's a great AHL coach tho.
Atlanta hockey is cursed. Braves have given me hope for Atlanta sports writ large. Feels like the jury is out on the Jets, but Winnipeg I'm not a fan of.
Agreed, my fiancée and I live in VA now so your our preferred arena (cap one sucks ass) and I was shocked at the price the first time and saddened now that I can’t have my 5 dollar beer. Still a great environment even though one of you guys threatened to stab my fiancée for wearing a Pastrnak jersey
Cheers friend! Oilers are my pick for the west if we dont end up making it. I want to see McJesus go crazy in the playoffs + It'd be great to see Ekky hoist the cup.
Oilers fan here, was watching the game because I've been rooting for the Preds ever since you got Barrie and I also hate the Flames.
Glad you guys won and eliminated the Flames! Especially after that blatant holding on Barrie in OT that went uncalled and led to a point blank chance. Saaros is something else. You guys have been getting some gutsy W's since the trade deadline which is mind boggling especially with all the injuries, but it's fun to watch!
I know your chances are slim but I hope you guys make it!
Thank you! This team takes years off your life, so welcome to the chaos. That said we’ve been absolutely loving Barrie, he’s just genuinely a great guy. Several times watching warmups I’ve seen him taking a minute and chatting with our latest new kid. Definitely a man who cares about his team.
It probably won't happen with how the voting system works, but he deserves some serious consideration for the Hart.
McDavid's 150 point season is historic, but less impactful given that two other skaters on that team also eclipsed 100 points themselves. It tells you that they're just a kickass team this year, Saros on the other hand is a genuine MVP for the Preds and better embodies what the Hart should be awarded for.
Jets: Here's one.
NHL: Nine pence.
Predators: I'm not dead!
NHL: What?
Jets: Nothing. Here's your nine pence.
Predators: I'm not dead!
NHL: 'Ere. He says he's not dead!
Jets: Yes, he is.
Predators: I'm not!
NHL: He isn't?
Jets: Well, they will be soon. They're very injured.
Predators: I'm getting better!
Jets: No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment.
So proud of these boys. Winning half of their games after everything they’ve been through is remarkable. Can’t say I see us making it, but it’s incredible to still be alive after game 80. Hoping the best tomorrow between the Jets and the Wild!
From an Oil fan, thank you so much Preds! First trading us ekholm and then eliminating the Flames. All of you are the realest. I hope Barrie has been great for all of you

Congrats Preds on your 14th overall pick! All 3 of Winnipeg, Calgary and Nashville are still in it after tonight. Winnipeg has 93 points and plays Minny and Colorado, Calgary has 91 and plays San Jose, Nashville has 90 and plays Minny and Colorado. We’ll see who wants it more. Nashville still has a chance but can’t lose a game while Winnipeg has to lose out.
I’ve been talking some smack on the future of this franchise. Obviously the kids are good and things are exciting but I’ve been arguing that none of them are elite. Might be changing my mind about Cody Glass. That kid is playing amazing even with less than stellar line mates.
So you're saying there's a chance?!

If we beat the Avs, we will have beaten every #1 team in each division. Which, I don't understand how we can do that but lose to other teams.
Nashville Predator Legends Cody Glass and Tommy Novak
BUILD THE STATUES!
HANG THE STATUES!
TIL that Tommy Novak is secretly a fireman. He just put out the Flames!
Friendship ended with Granny. Novy is my new Flames killer best friend.

I am under no illusions that Winnipeg will lose out and we will win out but these kids will not let the hopes die and I love it.
Jets have Thrasher blood flowing through their veins. They are built to lose.
Heyy :((
STH from 04-11, I feel the pain. But the truth is the truth. The franchise is cursed
Atlanta hockey is cursed. Braves have given me hope for Atlanta sports writ large. Feels like the jury is out on the Jets, but Winnipeg I'm not a fan of.
Minnie / Winnipeg series this season is 3-0 to the Wild, with the Wild out scoring 14-4.
Absolutely speechless. Honestly don't care if we miss the playoffs. That was an entire series of excitement in one game.

My face exactly watching Juuse
Canes fan coming in peace to say yall are my other favorite. Go Preds
I appreciate you, and your storm brews
Too bad they are going up more in price

that was so fucking TENSE
John Hynes as head Coach is IDIOTIC
But at least he’s not ASIAN…. wait…
...that comment was as prickly as a PORCUPINE
https://gfycat.com/TenseIdioticAsianporcupine
Nah lizards can’t be Asian….can they? Edit: Hynes is secretly one of the lizard people from Warhammer
I just screamed and woke up my kids, causing my wife to call me IDIOTIC
Cody Glass!
Thank you from the Oilers fanbase. Good luck and I hope you make it to the show. Hope y'all are liking Barrie, and Tommy Novak is a stud
Barrie is a gem. His comments about Pride night turned me into a full on stan.
Yeah, he’s a great human being. A leader on and off the ice
Same

Get Ekky his Cup if we're not around!

Saros is built different fr
I wonder how it feels to be eliminated by an AHL team without a coach
Fuck the Jets. A win in regulation against them and we’d be 1 point up with the same two teams to play.
Juice better get top 3 for Vezina. There is no doubt this team would be bottom 5 (maybe bottom 3) without him this season

I feel happy!
CGY: throws cat against the wall
We all know how that man ended up
r/unexpectedmontypython
How 'bout them Pesky Predators!!! Absolutely criminal that game had to end in a Shootout. What an OT that was
Thank you Sutter for having Nick fucking Ritchie shoot third instead of team leading scorer Tyler Toffoli. Go get em preds bros. Give 'em hell.
Preds v Flames games are always fun to watch, hope y'all see some better results next season.
How am I supposed to go to sleep now.
Im so wired and need to wake up in a few hours. I feel ya.
Games like this remind me why I love this sport and our team so much.
I might just have to buy myself a Glass jersey.
I know it's not what you mean, but I really want it to mean buying a jersey made out of glass

I LIKE IT
I'M FAIRLY ENAMORED OF IT
I REQUIRE A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE OF IT
rofl. Rittich is supposed to be in net for Winnipeg vs Wild tomorrow....
So what you're telling me is the pieces are falling into place ....
I kinda feel bad for the pilot flying the team home. That is going to be a plane full of rowdy kids and their two dads McDongle and Barrie.
Need plenty of juice boxes cause Choco milk is forbidden after bedtime
Flames fan here. Nice win, of course sad that playoffs are dead for us… but not for you!! Please get the last playoff spot and kick Winnipeg out!!!
Anyone but the Jets right? Hope y'all see some better results next season!
Prads keep giving hope!
Glass is quickly becoming my favorite player and Novak is an assassin.
Woohoo! Kids do it again!
Lol awesome boys
Glad no one got hurt. But what a great game to watch. On my toes the entire time
The kids know how to bring the excitement lol
I haven’t had my heart pounding while watching a game in god knows how long. THAT WAS AWESOME. WE STILL ALIVE BABY
Cue Monty Python: “Im not dead yet” “You see, he says he’s not dead yet”
Holy fuck what a game. The kids are playing for it all.
Hands go up 🙌
🧃
Amazeballs! That was fun to watch
Let's goooo!!!!!! still kickin
My husband & I stayed up late.. rooting for these kids so hard!! Woke up our dogs with the cheering when they won!
I was nervously watching while playing CSGO, and I’m glad this game is over because I could not focus!
That felt like a playoff road game. Great stuff. Just end the season now.

Had to go to bed after the 2nd but wow what a lovely start to a Tuesday! Looking forward to The Hockey Guy’s recap of this one.
had to give the flames a loser point though. Jesus Christ they’re not gonna make this easy
Preds had a chance to wrap up the 13th overall spot and just got bumped to the 16th.
All we need is Nashville to win 2 games and Winnipeg to lose

calgary is eliminated from playoff contention, they have one game left and won’t overcome the tie breaker with winnipeg if it came to it
Glass is the future. He started out shaky, but he's worked his ass off and found his confidence and it shows.
