Did Nashville Even Try to Score???

THawk+ · May 9, 2011

Nashville played at the end like they were more than happy to lose 2-1...

They really did not do much of anything the last 10 minutes to push the play and try to even the game... What were they afraid of losing by more than 1??? Their style really was puzzling to say the least.

Vancouver scored 2 in the first and just shut it down totally. They were more than happy with 2 goals it seemed. They did not even try and push it much for the 3rd goal...

Feel for the over players as both teams just shut their game down and were afraid to win... Nashville played totally different in game 5 pushing their defense up and trying to score .. Tonight they just sat around and waited to win and they deserved to lose because they were awful...

Vancouver could not even hit an open net, they had plenty of chances...

Feel bad for the over players as both teams did not even try to score tonight...

They don't have the offensive tools!
They were the 21st team in scoring goals against the best defensive team in the league.
With the bet penalty kill in the league.
Nothing strange or weird.

I also had the over and lost.

like coaster said they don't have the tools to score tons of goals, especially when they give up 2 early goals and Vancouver shuts down. This is a team that almost needs to score first against a team like Vancouver.

Guys sorry but they played much better in game 5 than game 6. They played to lose tonight. You know you struggle to score and they pushed the D up in game 5 to create offense and that is what happened. Tonight they sat back.

Trotz is a good coach but his game plan for game 6 was awful, really just awful. Either you want to win or not.
Nashville decided they did not ant to lose by more than one and not win. Hoping that they would get lucky bounce tonight

This loss falls on the coach. Really bad came plan tonight. Vancouver was never threatened the whole game at all.

IF Nashville actually wanted to win then they did not show it at all...

I know all the stats you both posted but none of it means a thing they really don't... It's game 6 and you go for it if you lose then you lose but they did not go for it and try to win. They hoped Vancouver would lose. That is a loser's mentality. Vancouver scored 2 goals in the first ten minutes and stopped trying to score. That style will lsoe you games, they were lucky that Nashville did not try to score If they do that against better team they will most likely lose...

Sorry to disagree but tonight's game plan for Nashville was unacceptable if you say you want to win because nothing they did would point to trying to win
