Nashville Predators
The GWG for Carolina was something else. Ben Harpur tries to close the gap at the blue line. That doesn’t work. He gets torched. Gudbranson tries to come over late and take the pass away. He doesn’t. And then five Predators are watching the play after an unreal Saros save.
RT @SCSOTF: John Hynes: Evaluate the game, evaluate our players, and move on from there. #Preds @OnTheForecheck @RenegadesOfPuck
RT @SCSOTF: John Hynes: Look, we came in at 2-2 going into the third period. You have to make lineup decisions. It was a hard-fought game. There were breakdowns in the goals. We can talk about the lineup all we want, but we have to stay out of the box #Preds @OnTheForecheck @RenegadesOfPuck
RT @SCSOTF: John Hynes: The physicality we played with was within the lines. The team didn't get called for physical play, but for soft penalties (trips, hooks, holds, high sticking) #Preds @OnTheForecheck @RenegadesOfPuck
RT @SCSOTF: John Hynes: The group tonight didn't get it done. We've got some guys that weren't in the line up that are ready to play. #Preds @OnTheForecheck @RenegadesOfPuck
RT @SCSOTF: Filip Forsberg is good at handling stupid questions that are just fishing for sound bites. #Preds @OnTheForecheck @RenegadesOfPuck
RT @SCSOTF: Filip Forsberg: It's a fine line you have to walk. We were a little reckless sometime. #Preds @OnTheForecheck @RenegadesOfPuck
RT @SCSOTF: Filip Forsberg: Penalties got our momentum off. Killers did a great job, but they were killing too much. #Preds @OnTheForecheck @RenegadesOfPuck
RT @SCSOTF: Erik Haula: I thought our kill was good; thought our power play could be better. #Preds @OnTheForecheck @RenegadesOfPuck
RT @SCSOTF: Erik Haula: I must be doing something right. I love it. (on Canes fans booing him) #Preds @OnTheForecheck @RenegadesOfPuck
RT @SCSOTF: Erik Haula: Not surprised that Carolina was able to play a strong physical game tonight. #Preds @OnTheForecheck @RenegadesOfPuck
I know it's not this simple but it's hard to ignore.
These are the #Preds top five goal scorers this season. Two of them were scratched tonight.
I think I’m going to stick with the #SchittsCreek gif theme for this series because, let’s be honest, Daniel Levy has the most relatable facial expression.
5-2 final score. #Preds treaded water until the 3rd period and then sank. Game 2 on Wednesday. Can't give up hope yet, but Hynes has to address this lineup.

Got a lot of thoughts on this one. Join us tomorrow morning from 6-10 on @1025TheGame

There is plenty of criticism to go around in this one. Some experienced, high-level players with some very bad moments in this game. Very questionable lineup decisions. And it certainly has not looked like Carolina is afraid of playing that “physical” style.
I've given Hynes a lot of credit the past few weeks.
If he doesn't make some lineup changes before G2, I take them all back.
