This reads like a fun game to watch. Why the f did I pick tonight to isolate myself in the office to do taxes??

Gotta be hoping for a Weber blast to salt this one away here. I like the Anaheim announcer saying they should give up the puck for more 4 on 3 time, haha.

I imagine thatts what they were trying to do.

[You Need a Thneed]

I have no idea why Nashville didn't continue to play keep away.

[Philly06Cup]

Keep away is brilliant. They have no incentive to advance the puck. That said, the league should fix this loophole for the good of the game

I hate Kesler as a player....but he's pretty freaking good at what he does.

People get clouded by dislike of someone vs their actual ability.

Except that an announcer's ability is right their in front of you and doesn't require any particular insight into his profession. His job is call the game in an entertaining, insightful manner for viewers.

When his voice is grating and weird and he veers off from the game talking about stats and what not, that's objectively poor.

I imagine they needed to try harder.

they were hanging back not putting much pressure on for the first 30 seconds actually...that was horribly played by the Ducks

[transplant99]

Preds playing not to lose...that rarely ends well.

It's fun that the Ducks are losing. Other than that imo not an exciting game.

Lots of trap and prevent D by Nashville

On a clear grab of the skates as Getzlaf is going down the announcer interpretation: "Getzlaf's hand hits the back of the skate".

This ultra conservative play by Nashville might come back to bite them, they should be trying to ice this.

Yeah, the Nashville player had the puck behind the net and there wasn't even a Duck on camera.

[Biff]

Getzloff is an annoying pronunciation.

I always thought a simple fix would be to take the over and back rule from basketball on a delayed penalty, on the PP team's own blue line.

So basically you can stay behind your own blue line as long as you want but as soon as you advance past it on a delayed penalty you can't go behind it again or the whistle blows.

I wasn't noticing that and now I am ... so thanks for that
