I wouldn’t count on anyone else to do the dirty work for the Preds. They seem to have to do it for themselves. Hawks/Wings couldn’t do finish it in time.
For 08-09 when every Central team advanced to the post-season with the exception of Nashville. It’s time for the Jackets to be the lone Central team out.
and the only reason that Vancouver is leading the West
is feeding off a weak NW Division. They are 9-3-0 against the NW, but 6-5-1 against the CEN. They are also owning the PAC, 5-2-1. I’d love to see Anahiem and LA change that this next week
I will point out, as I have many times in the past, when you don’t get that much snow in a year, the city/state can’t afford to buy the heavy duty equipment. Doesn’t make sense. Better safe than sorry for the kids. As an adult, it’s annoying, but I’d rather they spend tax money on something of more use.
Let's bring the same energynto the third that we finished them1st with!
TCountyPred - January 14, 2012
and a few more SOG too. we had lots of good chances in the second but need to get some sustained pressure on Bryz
OddManRush - January 14, 2012 via Android app
Philly's bringing energy
Shut em down and finish off the game!
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
Just changed over to the New England/Denver game.
If Denver does win this, they don’t need to play the rest of the playoffs.
TCountyPred - January 14, 2012
Just givemthem the trophy.

New England vs Green Bay
Superbowl match-up for sure this year.
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
BARF
DonBorvio - January 14, 2012
At least Suter will be happy
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
maybe he'll resign for cheap if they get the superbowl
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Just what I was thinking...
If Green Bay wins the superbowl, Suter stays with the Preds signing a contract under 5M.
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
In some sort of football-induced high?
CAustin - January 14, 2012
but is it worth it to have green bay win?
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
You’d have to ask someone who actually cares about football.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
No.
DonBorvio - January 15, 2012
But then again...
In the Canadian Football League, the British Columbia Lions won the Grey Cup yet Weber hasn’t signed with us yet.
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
Maybe Suter loves the Packers more than Weber loves the Lions. Anything’s possible.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
There’s a game I don’t want to watch.
vols7381 - January 14, 2012
I'll pass
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
Let's Go Predators!!
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
O_O
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Pretty much sums it up.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
X_X
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Is that where you’re squeezing your eyes shut?
CAustin - January 14, 2012
after the heart attack
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
That sucked!
TCountyPred - January 14, 2012
Channelling Laverne and Shirly ...
bandman - January 14, 2012
that gerouix guy is pretty good...
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
so I’ve heard. Once or twice. In other news, the Preds have tall goaltenders.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
but Pekka isn't the biggest
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Philly's forecheck is wow aggressive
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
except when it isn’t.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
yeh looks like we're just holding on for dear life
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Tonight IT IS aggressive
don’t know about against other teams
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
Philly’s the team that “protested” the 1-3-1 by sitting still for 60 seconds at a time.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
Oh yeah...forget about Tampa's trap game haha
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
Rats! I didn't win.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
Robert C from Goodletsville is the winner
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
Robert Cee
You win….
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
How come Philly doesn’t just hold the puck like they did in Tampa? That’s the only time I watched them this year. Other than the Winter Classic.
vols7381 - January 14, 2012
Tampa won that game, too. Hehehe.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
Laviolette was too much of a chicken**** to try that at home.
vols7381 - January 14, 2012
He was too much of a chicken to actually play a bad defensive team with its 2 top defensemen out.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
WOOT
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
TOOTS
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Toots!
bandman - January 14, 2012
Wooooooooo!!!!
Who’s goal?? Spaling?
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
Spals!
TCountyPred - January 14, 2012
Tootoo!!!
This is the best line! I love those guys!
CAustin - January 14, 2012
SPALS to the Skate!
vols7381 - January 14, 2012
But if Spaling gets credit, does that mean the Preds win?
CAustin - January 14, 2012
Duh.
vols7381 - January 14, 2012
Yes...yes it does!!
Love that stat!
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
That is my favorite stat of the year.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
Year? Career I do believe.
vols7381 - January 14, 2012
Well the stat is for his career so far; I may find another stat that makes me happy before his career is over.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
Spals i think it went off him
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Ack!
I stepped out for a minute and missed a goal…
Oh well, Yay Preds!
Old Kentucky Shark - January 14, 2012

Spaling scores
We win!!!!

Thismline ismthe heart of our team right now.
TCountyPred - January 14, 2012
My "m" key is pissing me off.
TCountyPred - January 14, 2012
yeh that line is our most consistant line and is generating alot of great chances
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Am I the only one that just heard an un-familiar chant?
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
must have been
Creeping Death - January 14, 2012
If I had sat Bryz on my FH team, He would’ve shutout the Preds. You are all welcome.
vols7381 - January 14, 2012
Way to sacrifice for the team :P
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
Now I just need Quick to shutout Calgary and it’ll even out in the end.
vols7381 - January 14, 2012
Woot.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
I have Bob as one of my goalies… I left him on the bench cause I never play a goalie on my team against the Preds. gotta have faith!
Creeping Death - January 14, 2012
SK didnt score?
He must on his next shot.
jerseypredsfan - January 14, 2012
Totally screwed up that shooting %
Gotta get that one back SK
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
don't worry he'll get the next one
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
It was blocked, does not count
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
Ahh I see
I thought surely SK didn’t miss-shoot that one…he has a plan after all
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
SK shot the puck?!
CAustin - January 14, 2012
SK plays offense? Or does he play offensively?
vols7381 - January 14, 2012
depends on who you talk to
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
there are some who are offended by his play.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
I’m aware
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
The shot didn't count towards shooting percentage
Thank god.
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
wasn't on net?
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Nope
Blocked by defender I’m pretty sure.
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
to his credit he actually does TRY to shoot fairly often it's just always blocked
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
No.. I'm convinced that most of SK's shots are blocked
I’ve been sort of keeping tabs the last couple games. It seems he only gets 1 of 3 through on net.
Predator119 - January 14, 2012
but, when they get through… they go in alot
Predator119 - January 14, 2012
he has two attempted-blocked tonight.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
found Waldo!
Creeping Death - January 14, 2012
where's he hiding
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Are you talking about the guy who was dressed in a Waldo costume? Gumby was there, too…
LuvthePreds - January 15, 2012
are we just sitting back now?
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Um Yeah!?!?
We have the lead don’t we? Silly question

Back to holding my breath
going on the PK…Oh joy!
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
pk
JBoogie22 - January 14, 2012
Why can’t they accidentally put it in their own net?
vols7381 - January 14, 2012
They would review it and say we kicked it.
TCountyPred - January 14, 2012

IG-PRED8 - January 14, 2012
oh boy... big pk coming
Predator119 - January 14, 2012
not a good time for a penalty
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
How many goals for SK this year?
I’m guessing around 22-26 goals.
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
On 30 shots :)
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
I don’t like going on the PK here. Last PK looked horrid. Killed the penalty, but couldn’t get. the. puck. out.
vols7381 - January 14, 2012
Good kill
whew! hang on boys!
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012

Ugly, but effective.

Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Was a bit worried when Weber and Suter came off the ice
But Klein delivered.

And Josi too

Gonna be the longest 5 minutes

Woah
Didn’t even notice the game was close to ending. Too fast paced to what I am used to seeing.
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
Basically going to feel like a 5 minute penalty kill.
TCountyPred - January 14, 2012
I know
this sitting back garbage will not get it done against these guys
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
Great play by Weber in the corner there
bandman - January 14, 2012
Okay here's what to do
one guy up front, 3 guys across the neutral zone, and one guy back to carry gatorade to Pekka. The Flyers will fold like a heap of dirty laundry.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
Hahahahahahaha!
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
someone has to keep pekka hydrated he's our #1 star
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012

that’s a pretty decent skull-to-helmet bump he gave Pekka

that's going to be a close one
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Of course
Detroit/Chicago was a 3 pointer

I wouldn’t count on anyone else to do the dirty work for the Preds. They seem to have to do it for themselves. Hawks/Wings couldn’t do finish it in time.
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 14, 2012
13-0-1 now
when Spaling scores
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 14, 2012
and he tells Mark Howard he didn’t know about this stat
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 14, 2012
He knew. He said the same thing to the Tennessean last week. He just doesn’t want to talk about it. Neither would I.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
good call
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 14, 2012
Ok…maybe I won’t have to kill MH after all
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
After this victory...
I feel as if we can make a deep Stanley Cup run and have a shot at winnin’ it. Am I thinking too far?
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
Way more than I’m willing to commit to. I’m a one-game-at-a-time girl.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
yeah i too perfer one game at a time but beating Philly feels good
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Pretty good measuring stick for us
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
it does. They’re a good team. And snotty, too.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
yeh they live up their own rectum
and this is a great measuring stick we took our opportunities and ran with them
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
I'm watching the Blues/Wild game now...Rootin' for Wild!
But mostly hoping for a two point game. It’s tied at 2 with 5 to go.
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
If friggin Mark Howard just ruined the "Spaling Mojo"
by telling him about it, I’m going big mouthed-fatman hunting.
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
meh now he just won't score....
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
so we pretty much don’t need top 6 scorer. we just need to put Spaling in the game on the power play and get a goal out of him.
Creeping Death - January 14, 2012
works for me…/sarcasm
TitanPredBearFan - January 14, 2012
we've been getting some goals these past few games
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
we're actually 14th in the league

I'm watching the FSWild feed.
These commentators aren’t so good either. But I get to watch commercials with the away feed haha
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012

So close.
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
damn, 3 pointer
Predator119 - January 14, 2012
yeh i hate conference 3 pointers
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
We gotta hope for a Wild shootout win.
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
yeh st louis sucks in the SO
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
the wild looked pretty bad on the SO when they played us.
JBoogie22 - January 14, 2012
This was a very physical game...
Still continuing into OT
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012

Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
Great save Harding!
Great moves by Oshie
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
well at least Colorado beat Dallas
maybe Dallas will be pissed enough to take it to the Blues on Monday
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 14, 2012
I just thought to myself...
Wouldn’t it make more sense if it were “Nashville Blues”
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
no. because predators are scary. the blues are just depressing (hence the name)—though i love blues guitar.
CAustin - January 14, 2012
I gotta say
what a ridiculously badass Central Division
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 14, 2012
If CBJ were good
This division would be HELL x2
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
poor CBJ's
I almost feel sorry for them – almost.
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 14, 2012
only problem is they have no identity...
they’re just mediocre all across the board
JBoogie22 - January 14, 2012
If Columbus were good, the rest of the Central Division wouldn’t have so many points. Everyone has feasted on them so far this season.
CAustin - January 14, 2012

Two points seperating four Central Division teams...
2. Blues 58
4. Chicago 58
5. Detroit 57
6. Nashville 56
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
looks like all of central except those who shall not be named might make the playoffs
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
yeah, I don't see any hope for the CBJ's
that gets me laughing :-)
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 14, 2012
yeh they pretty much would have to win every game for the rest of the season to have a chance
Herzausstein - January 14, 2012
This is payback
For 08-09 when every Central team advanced to the post-season with the exception of Nashville. It’s time for the Jackets to be the lone Central team out.
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
But Nashville has 54 points, not 56
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 14, 2012
Oops
Bakht Khan - January 14, 2012
4 of the top 6 in the West are Central Division teams.
LuvthePreds - January 15, 2012
and the only reason that Vancouver is leading the West
is feeding off a weak NW Division. They are 9-3-0 against the NW, but 6-5-1 against the CEN. They are also owning the PAC, 5-2-1. I’d love to see Anahiem and LA change that this next week
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 15, 2012
6 teams in the NHL with 7+ overtime losses....

I realized I'm going to miss my first game of the season Monday vs. Isles.
No holiday in Canada. I’ll be home to see the final 30 minutes.

my father got a job and we all got taken down with him...
i guess it wasn’t my descision but i like it down here… except noone knows how to deal with snow….

Haha
I heard about everyone making a big deal about it down in Nashville. My father was offered a job in Houston, Texas but he was too attached to Canada.

hopefully the Preds will put on a good show for you to come home to

I will point out, as I have many times in the past, when you don’t get that much snow in a year, the city/state can’t afford to buy the heavy duty equipment. Doesn’t make sense. Better safe than sorry for the kids. As an adult, it’s annoying, but I’d rather they spend tax money on something of more use.
