Nashville Predators center Ryan O'Reilly delivers a brutally honest post-game assessment, claiming he's "had one good year in my career" and has "no answers" after another frustrating loss to Philadelphia. The veteran's emotional postgame conversation raises serious concerns about the team's frustration as they continue generating quality scoring chances but failing to convert.

Ann Kimmel and Emma Lingan analyze head coach Andrew Brunette's admission that he doesn't know how else to create offense, despite Nashville recording 19 high-danger chances in the loss. The discussion covers whether this is a coaching problem, roster construction issue, or mental block after two seasons of similar struggles. Key topics include potential organizational changes, Barry Trotz's patience threshold, and bright spots from Ozzy Wiseblatt, Matthew Wood, and Juuse Saros keeping games competitive despite offensive futility.

Tune in for an unflinching look at the Predators' crisis and what Saturday's matchup against Dallas might reveal about this team's direction.
