did they start realizing it has little to do with our defense and if the offense could do this everygame we would be winning some more games . alot more . klein has to do well, and he will….. for about a week
Now math was never my strong suit, but last time I checked, that adds up to 2 goals coming into tonight. At the time he tweeted that, they had scored 1. Therefore, the Flames had only scored 3 goals on the Preds in 14 periods.
But did you look back to last season? Last four games against the Flames plus the two period from tonight and after the comment was made. I don’t know the numbers, but you can string together 14 periods that way.
I doubt you would make a mistake that could be that easily researched. Should’ve been a tip off- 14 periods, when the Preds-Flames only play 12 periods all year.
I meant the season part. From some cursory research that I did it looks like he was pretty wrong, but I didn’t look at the breakdown of when the goals were scored in our last game against the Flames last season. /shrug
Does anyone remember who did the research and found that Weber was on the ice for something like 26 of our 28 PP goals? I’m trying to remember, and I might have the numbers a little off.
Iginla for getting goal #499, that other fella (Morrison?) who got goal #200, and Kippersoff for keeping his morale up even with Pekka playing a little better than him.
There’s another one coming to mind, but I can’t think of who it is…. my guess is the Harvard grad who plays for Pittsburgh is probably pretty well-spoken, too haha.

keep this energy up Preds
Herzausstein - January 1, 2012
Klein has looked really good considering how long he had been out. The whole team has managed the game really well.
OddManRush - January 1, 2012 via Android app
is it horny's birthday?!
no wonder the Jersey is working!
DonBorvio - January 1, 2012 via Android app
could it be?!
did they start realizing it has little to do with our defense and if the offense could do this everygame we would be winning some more games . alot more . klein has to do well, and he will….. for about a week
Mamie France - January 1, 2012

well there’s one: /
DonBorvio - January 1, 2012 via Android app
Yeah, I feel like I jinxed it, posting that.
CAustin - January 1, 2012
pp!
DonBorvio - January 1, 2012 via Android app
That's not accurate.
Games this season so far:
Preds 2, Flames 0
Flames 1, Preds 0
Preds 2, Flames 1
Now math was never my strong suit, but last time I checked, that adds up to 2 goals coming into tonight. At the time he tweeted that, they had scored 1. Therefore, the Flames had only scored 3 goals on the Preds in 14 periods.
vols7381 - January 1, 2012
14 periods, you’ve got 9 up there plus the two or three from this game. You’re short a few periods.
3DLink - January 1, 2012
Considering they only play the Flames 4 times a season, you’re absolutely right. Dude messed up his info.
vols7381 - January 1, 2012
But did you look back to last season? Last four games against the Flames plus the two period from tonight and after the comment was made. I don’t know the numbers, but you can string together 14 periods that way.
3DLink - January 1, 2012
I didn’t, but either way… he said this season…. so he was wrong.
vols7381 - January 1, 2012
wow, ok. I’ll be sure not to make any mistakes around you.
3DLink - January 1, 2012
I doubt you would make a mistake that could be that easily researched. Should’ve been a tip off- 14 periods, when the Preds-Flames only play 12 periods all year.
vols7381 - January 1, 2012
I meant the season part. From some cursory research that I did it looks like he was pretty wrong, but I didn’t look at the breakdown of when the goals were scored in our last game against the Flames last season. /shrug
3DLink - January 1, 2012
So what you’re saying is that not only did I jinx Pekka, I jinxed him with inaccurate information.
CAustin - January 1, 2012

ugh our PP looking ugly
Herzausstein - January 1, 2012
Lord
This is looking like the Lightning power play.
CAustin - January 1, 2012
more like the Blues PP from last game
Herzausstein - January 1, 2012
I’m much more familiar with the suckitude of the Lightning power play. Which sucks.
CAustin - January 1, 2012
Powerplay
not looking so hot
Daniel Mills - January 1, 2012
we miss weber
JBoogie22 - January 1, 2012
This isn't a Weber issue
Daniel Mills - January 1, 2012
Does anyone remember who did the research and found that Weber was on the ice for something like 26 of our 28 PP goals? I’m trying to remember, and I might have the numbers a little off.
3DLink - January 1, 2012
I do remember that… I can’t remember who it was, but that sounds close enough.

heh, I just assumed the penalty was going to be against the Preds
3DLink - January 1, 2012
our power play is terrible
all the time! should just leave it equal strength we’re better off
Mamie France - January 1, 2012
ranked 2nd in the league??
JBoogie22 - January 1, 2012
Actually it’s been pretty good this year.
901predfan - January 1, 2012
That's why the Preds have the 2nd best PP in the league.

Herzausstein - January 1, 2012
boooooooooooo!
CAustin - January 1, 2012
FYI
Somebody over at Matchsticks and Gasoline was wishing Calgary had skill players like the Preds do. Being envied feels weird.
Dumont'sShorts - January 1, 2012 via mobile
umm… The Preds would love to have that top Flames line of Glencross, Iggy, and Jokinen.
3DLink - January 1, 2012
skiiiilll pppplllaaayyyerrrs? Wha?
vols7381 - January 1, 2012
They must have meant skilled prospects
Stormyt - January 1, 2012
yeh our prospects look pretty BA
Herzausstein - January 1, 2012
they want a skill player like?
Halischuck? Klein? Kostitsyn?
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
…..like who? Forwards or D (cause D I can understand)?
davisca - January 1, 2012
The impression I got was that they were talking about forwards. It’s pretty dead over there. They must convene someplace else.

Haha :)
davisca - January 1, 2012
If he won’t come back to Nashville, I’d rather trade his rights for an actual player.
vols7381 - January 1, 2012
I think we should give him the Chris Johnson restructuring thing!!!

Yeah but I'm actually not joking.

Tea

I love tea!

It was supposed to say "yea"
And it was supposed to be a reply.
TCountyPred - January 1, 2012
I'd like some!

Which makes the “Tea” post kinda funny.

All sorts really. right now I’ve got everything from eary grey to pu-erh in my cabinet.
3DLink - January 1, 2012
Looks like Ellis and Tootoo are gonna be buddies
they will start the Mini-Preds club and invite Hillen and the Cube to join them.
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
Haaaaaaah
Daniel Mills - January 1, 2012
Anyone notice HB was absent on his regular line?
901predfan - January 1, 2012
replaced by Hustle
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
i think badger bourque and toots could be a good line
Herzausstein - January 1, 2012
Lotsa speed and energy there... that could be really effective.
davisca - January 1, 2012
It would be fun to watch
TCountyPred - January 1, 2012
Yep, doghouse.
901predfan - January 1, 2012
HB has been looking like he’s lost his confidence. he’s playing with a kind of desperation that isn’t producing.
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
I think he’s earned a little patience, considering that given to tits. Plus he hasn’t been a defensive liability
901predfan - January 1, 2012
I agree
but he may get his confidence on the 3rd line
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
2nd on the team in points and SOG right now.
CAustin - January 1, 2012
Now smithson has his spot
901predfan - January 1, 2012
you mean his place on the line?
CAustin - January 1, 2012
Correct
901predfan - January 1, 2012
Who knows why Trotz does that. But I’m willing to cut the kid a little slack as long as the team scores when he’s on the ice.
CAustin - January 1, 2012
My thoughts exactly, have some faith in the kid. It is given to some on this team that have produced a lot less.
901predfan - January 1, 2012
Mhm.

Hey, Hillen…. don’t just watch your man skate away from you

If Hillen could’ve even tied up his stick a little it wouldn’t have been a goal.

no benched Blum for Klein.

Herzausstein - January 1, 2012
we hope so
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
No they need to give it to HB. He’s got to defeat the open net, then he can start scoring again.
Stormyt - January 1, 2012
SK
might get his hatty if they pull Kipper
Daniel Mills - January 1, 2012
Most dangerous lead in hockey...
Old Kentucky Shark - January 1, 2012
Quit sitting back on your haunches !!!

Man, he's made me LIVID recently...
He better have been reading my comments, haha. He was shooting the puck tonight, though! That’s good!
davisca - January 1, 2012
Yeah, according to Crispy he had 3 shots total, haha.
Stormyt - January 1, 2012
Yeah, his shooting % and 3 goals saved my fantasy hockey week from being a complete disaster.
3DLink - January 1, 2012
And Dirk was saying his shooting percentage last year was an anomaly ;)
Stormyt - January 1, 2012
100% shooting percentage ain’t nothing to sneeze at. :p

That’s gotta be a personal record of some kind, yes?

had a moment of congratulating each other at the end.

wonder what SK will say to Mark Howard on this interview...
Suck on that Howard!
JBoogie22 - January 1, 2012
Mark Howard is really starting to look like the white version of Forest Whitaker.
preds4ever - January 1, 2012
My cats
have no idea why I am laughing so hard right now…
Daniel Mills - January 1, 2012
Sorry Mark...
But it’s true
preds4ever - January 1, 2012
Hopefully (since there was no competition today)
SK gets 1st star of the night on NHL.com
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
I think
that’s pretty much a guarantee
Daniel Mills - January 1, 2012
That's assuming that NHL.com recognizes that we even played a game tonight...
davisca - January 1, 2012
exactly
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
for real
them and TSN…fail!! and we played a Canadian team to boot (Ha)
ajs3677 - January 1, 2012
1. Sidney Crosby
2. Daniel Mills’ cat
3. Sergei Kostitsyn
3DLink - January 1, 2012
HAH
davisca - January 1, 2012
LOL!
Daniel Mills - January 1, 2012
Nope, they gave it to Sidney Crosby
But he can’t remember why
Stormyt - January 1, 2012
Knowing the NHL it'll go something like this:
1. Shea Weber (because the Preds won, obviously he helped)
2. Jarome Iginla
3. Ryan Suter
vols7381 - January 1, 2012
Nah, that’s tomorrow’s headline from TSN
3DLink - January 1, 2012
Wooohoo! So good to win!
So pathetic that there’s still NO mention on NHL.com.
davisca - January 1, 2012
Yeah!
Preds win!
That makes three in a row!
Old Kentucky Shark - January 1, 2012
Two hat tricks in two games
Stamkos yesterday and Kostitsyn today. That’s nice.
CAustin - January 1, 2012
I am going to go out on a limb here and say the 3 stars of the night for the NHL are all going to be from this game
Creeping Death - January 1, 2012
Iginla for getting goal #499, that other fella (Morrison?) who got goal #200, and Kippersoff for keeping his morale up even with Pekka playing a little better than him.
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
Explaination
Kostitsyn speaks no English.
preds4ever - January 1, 2012
Explanation
Kostitsyn was overheard saying that he would “kill that smarmy bastard if he asked Sergei anymore condescending questions.”
3DLink - January 1, 2012
SK
doesn’t know what smarmy means.
Daniel Mills - January 1, 2012
Bahaha
davisca - January 1, 2012
It was translated from Russian
3DLink - January 1, 2012
He was just scared of Mark's Forest Whitaker lazy eye.
preds4ever - January 1, 2012
вкрадчивый
Daniel Mills - January 1, 2012
Horny does great interviews
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
i agree
JBoogie22 - January 1, 2012
His radio interview
during the 2nd intermission was fantastic. I forgot who was coaching the team for a minute there.
Daniel Mills - January 1, 2012
Mark Howard is a tool.
TCountyPred - January 1, 2012
I started listening halfway through the 3rd
and I heard Tits give it away a few times. I was thinking maybe Trotz should bench him. Guess I didn’t know the whole story. LOL
Josiah2729 - January 1, 2012 via Android app
I want someone in the postgame crowd to shout,
TITS ON FIRE! WOOO!
preds4ever - January 1, 2012
wow that Klein goal was a beauty
JBoogie22 - January 1, 2012
yeah… it was pretty.
Daniel Mills - January 1, 2012
and it even was on net….
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
I am lazy...
don’t want to read the whole thread. Did Wilson play?
Josiah2729 - January 1, 2012 via Android app
no
3DLink - January 1, 2012
the picture of Kimmo Timmonen on the ESPN NHL frontpage looks like Charlie Sheen
just a random observation
JBoogie22 - January 1, 2012
Haha, it kinda does.
davisca - January 1, 2012
Please, don’t turn anything sort of reins to Mark Howard
3DLink - January 1, 2012
2 assists for Klein? in addition to his goal?
I didn’t realize he had a 3 goal night.
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
oops 3 poinnt
and Mark Howard was wrong. only 1 g 1a for Klein.
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
Only 1 point back from St Louis and 2 back from Minnesota
Stormyt - January 1, 2012
Klein interviews well.
“He’s a well conditioned athlete” -not a lot of hockey players can pull that one out during a live interview.
3DLink - January 1, 2012
Finding a well-spoken hockey player is like watching for Tits to shoot the puck (not counting tonight, of course).
davisca - January 1, 2012
There are a few
of them out there, thought. Tim Thomas comes to mind. Very well spoken in post-game interviews.

Yeah, Timmy is really good.
There’s another one coming to mind, but I can’t think of who it is…. my guess is the Harvard grad who plays for Pittsburgh is probably pretty well-spoken, too haha.

Morton's Steakhouse in Nashville

it’s pretty good I take it? or is Klein a man of bad taste in steaks?
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 1, 2012
It’s delicious and pricey.

Expensive.

Interesting stat
The Preds are 3-0 with Gabriel Bourque.
Daniel Mills - January 1, 2012
Awesome.

Glad that game had a little more offense with it being on NHL Network
i thought for sure it’d be a snoozer.
