Nashville Predators Lose to Calgary flames 6-3: Saros, Slewfoot, and Struggles

The Nashville Predators lost to the Calgary Flames last night at home in a game that was unimpressive and uninspired in a number of ways. On today's Locked On Predators, we break down last night's loss including our "one word" to describe the game. The Predators' defense didn't give Juuse Saros much help in a four goal first period, but Saros was pulled after forty minutes and a solid second period. We talk about Andrew Brunette's decision to let Kevin Lankinen play in the third period and whether we have long term concerns about Saros this season. What is the short term lingering question about Nashville's goaltending ahead of this weekend's game against the Dallas Stars? Phil Tomasino was assessed a match penalty late in the third period for what was called a slewfoot on Dennis Gilbert. We break down that play and explain why calls like this add to a growing frustration with officiating inconsistencies this season. Finally, we give a shout out to Nashville's 2023-2024 All Star Filip Forsberg. We share how we feel about his selection and what has made this season so good for the Swedish forward.
