Where is everybody?
here.

Hanging out in that stale thread

close it out boys
Made it on time this time
Looking forward to a more dominant closeout...

…set the tone for the home portion of the home-and-home

Do you think they will ever change our into this year?

It is getting boring

Change the intro?

lol, didn't even try to hide it
I figgered it out!

Yee Ha!

My wife and I were talking about Suter last night

and our 18 month is a sponge.
THIS is the result

sorry my link button isnt working. you may have to cut and paste it, but i think you might like it.
and sorry i know i already posted it in Dirk’s thread on Suter earlier – but i just wanted to post in in a game thread.

Suter...

Would have to have a heart of pure stone to not call his agent right now (yes even during the game) and get this thing done.

i know, right?

thats what we thought! btw she also said a top 6 forward would help…

I bet she had a list of options and the pros and cons of each, too?

she has a spreadsheet of potential salaries

and possible trade packages that we could offer that we read every night before we go to bed.

I showed your video to my kids when they got home from school, and we were saying how great it would be to get it on the Megatron, followed by a chant led by 303. We could preview it with a group of fans on the boards during warm-ups with “Please sign” signs.

wow! thanks for the love! thats awesome!

we are hoping to bring her to her first game soon.

Word of advice: get her used to lots of noise first, if she’d not already. Maybe watch games at home with the sound turned way up?

thank you so much-

that is actually something we have been worried about

Play goal horns really loud and have her clap about them, so she thinks they’re fun instead of startling and scary.

we have toyed with the idea of ear muffs?

but i want her to enjoy the sights and sounds…

I’d have them on hand just in case, but I really think it’s all in the preparation. When my daughter was about the same age as yours, we took her to see Glenn Close’s 101 Dalmations. I knew she’d be scared of GC’s character unless I prepared her, so we read the book several times and I kept saying she was a “silly woman.” My daughter had a nervous laugh at the worst parts, but kept repeating “She’s a silly woman!” almost like a mantra. Then at the end of the movie she stood up and said “I want to see the Dalmatian movie again!”

101 Dalmatians

(I’m a little OCD about typos,)

no worries about the ocd :-)

and btw- i truly appreciate the advice.

That's awesome!

I didn’t see that in the earlier thread, do you mind if I put it on the front page tomorrow?

please do!

we would be honored! go preds!

sending you an email

You should get it put on the Megatron during the game.

Nice Power Play

…. D:

too bad it still counts as a PP
#2 in the league.
apparently they use the mitt

more in baseball than other sports.

Ellis

had a chance

getting chippy
Anyone going Thursday?

Would love another sellout.

We got frosties!
i miss the first period preds...

still getting outplayed…c’mon boys!

Klein

Who was behind you? Not a white jersey. Stop it. You’re not Suter, stop trying.

not much of an adjustment between periods...

Snooze fest now.

i dunno, i'm biting my nails with how we're playing right now...
Funny what 3 goals in 10 minutes will do to you.

this has been a long penalty kill

feels like it...

I’ve gone back to thinking about the RAT-FISH-TITS line with the momentum going on here.

Landeskog doesn't like Horny
haven't seen smith this period
He was

for a minute or so

Just 4 shifts in the 2nd, too

We don’t have a shot on net this period, BTW

this inability to clear the zone is driving me insane...
Landeskog

Just flattened Cube

Ellis almost had #2 there.
slowly improving...
We are the Borq

Resistance is Tootoo. We will adapt your biological and technological Spaling to our own.

10 mins left on the penalty kill
Tootoo looked like Erat for a second

When he got nailed?

When he spun around like an ice skater.

I guess, the cute ballerina move

Tootoo with a Tutu

Life is shown with what line?

Spals, Toots, The Borg.

rinne, whoa!!

that’s his one weakness…he needs a shock collar

haha indeed, stay in the net, pekka!
hey, a shot on Goal!!
legwand can you be any slower on the breakaway...
Yes,

he could be Cube.

i think mcgrattan would've been faster
Trotz would of been faster.
remember when the Preds used to hit as a team?
OTF is now as slow as the action on tv.
yep...dunno where everyone went...must be getting late...

About to pick up.

horny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH!

Three-goal lead is back!

Ellis to Horny!!!

And notable mention to #HumanRocketShip

High altitude Frosties!
good work on the forecheck by Ellis
That was not a normal Horny-like goal.
That was

the skilled side of his brain.

I didn’t even know he could do that.

I missed it. : (

if it wasn't for that BS penalty we would've had the shutout...
When

did Vancouver take over the conference?

unfortunately....
Uh oh!

Do we have an issue with that Ellis fella? If we keep him on the roster for the rest of the year, he’ll use a year on his entry level contract (Dirk discussed this earlier in the week). He’s not giving us any excuses to send him to Milwaukee.

i say he's too good to send down...

keep him here, he has a goal and an assist in 2 straight games

The night of the debaucle against Dallas.

Honey badger

Almost had it there

Hands go up!
And. They . Stay. There!
obligatory title

pekka's gonna be overlooked but he's gotta be one of the three stars

Davisca enjoyed that game im sure

That was excellent, yes!
Pete Weber looks like he has a cold

Title of story at nhl.com: " Isles keep up domination of Red Wings."

Is this common knowledge? I had no idea.

Islanders have beaten the wings since 2003

Whatever magic formula the New York Islanders have for beating the Detroit Red Wings, the rest of the NHL wishes they’d share it.

The Islanders improved to 5-0-1 against the Wings since play resumed after the work stoppage by beating the Wings 5-1 at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Tuesday. New York’s first line of John Tavares, Matt Moulson and Kyle Okposo accounted for four goals — two by Moulson — as the Islanders played perhaps their best game of the season after losing back-to-back weekend games at Anaheim and Phoenix that dropped them into last place in the Eastern Conference.

That is odd. Of all the teams, the lowly Isles own the Wings!

I’m just glad someone does.

We did last season, too, now that I think about it!

they outsource the writing of stories on NHL.com

Oh and...

The Spaling streak continues

He needs to score every game.

peks with the first star!

well deserved

Considering they played only about half the game and said “Ok Peks, you get to preserve the win”.

sounds like just about every game

Yeah, I’m kind of tired of it.

God night OTF

It’s been great, let’s do this again Thursday!

Tebow’s rubbing off on you.

Worse things could happen.

For sure.

Now I’m hearing Bryz’s voice in my head saying “He’s a good guy!”

our new Ellis is better than our old one

And I’d say he’s a specialist, too!
