GOOOOOOOOAL DETROIT

omg what is wrong with me…

Its ok, we’re here for you

wth

you took the first post with no first! shmeful

I’m proud of him.

i can has frist?

Hey, no OT is good as it gets between Blues-Wings.

looks like the wings are going to pull a win out of their butt

ick.

that's where wins come from....

I don’t think so, because Anaheim has a lot of @$$es and yet few wins

yeah, butt

I think they finally started scratching, because they have 5 wins in a row right now

Ick.

I tell my kids not to do that.

loving the caption of the thread pic
Awesome

Thanks for pointing that out

Yep….I hadn’t even looked. That’s awesome, Dirk! I’d rec it if I could…

(Anders: Can Anders have two???)

no doubt

sitting here LMAO every time read it. god, such a kid i am :P

Haha, that is really good!
thanks for the fresh ice, Dirk

you should put up an image of the Zamboni going around…

come on Fisher…. hat trick!

What is a GooGoo cluster? someone, I feel left out.

its what you might catch if you dont wrap your candy bar

disgustingness

in a wrapper

you're not from around here, are ya?
i am

lived in nashville my whole life. Doesn’t make those taste any better than feces.

Deportation is in your future.

similar to a Bun. If anyone remembers those.

A Nashville-made candy

wow

well played sir

That’s “madam,” thank you.

yikes...

my bad… wont happen again Ma’am :D

OMGGGG

This looks delicious… I’ve never had one lol

Go. Buy one.

You will never regret it.

They also come with peanut butter instead of marshmallow or with pecans instead of peanuts.

I REALLY want to try a peanut butter one.

They are quite wonderful.

It will change your life

Didn’t know about the pecan option. I’ll have to try one.

they’re more expensive.

But worth it. Pecans>peanuts.

I’m ambivalent on pecans. Some are great and some are bitter and acidic.

I only eat the good ones. My dad gets them in GA.

We had two pecan trees in the backyard when I was growing up. That was cool until you had to rake them up. I kid you not, one of those trees produced so many pecans it destroyed the roof over our back porch.

Wow! We had a plum tree. Though we never ate plums.

It's something you can only find in the South, I believe.

You must not be from around these here parts…

Def don’t have them in Jersey.

I haven’t seen them anywhere but the South (most specifically TN).

They have them at Cracker Barrel

A googoo cluster is some kind of candy bar.

If the preds scor a goal in the last minute of the period all in attendance win one. This is the first time it has happened this year.

actually, the first time ever. Very exciting.

History was made.

We need a commercial about it.

Love how the ice looks after intermissions. so pretty

I went to the game saturday night with a guy that works at an ice rink in Carmel, IN. He was very critical of the zamboni work in Bridgestone.

Haha, that’s bizarre.

Perhaps our ice scraper truck needs adjustment

He mainly critiqued the drivers… he used words that I didn’t understand. I guess zamboni technical language.

Didn’t know there was such a thing!

apparently there is. He went on about the entire time they were cleaning the ice during the 2nd intermission

Learned something new tonight.

How much is there to it? I thought is was like mowing the grass, except with ice.

I guess pumping water, but not making it too wet… getting all the corners… scraping all the dead ice off… not leaving any dry spots…? I have no idea.

Some high school dude does it at my local rink, so it can’t be that hard.

Yeah, same for me.

I wish I could relate the conversation for you guys, but I seriously didn’t understand what he was talking about.

That’s okay. We have Google if we really need it.

The old rink in Carmel? That place was a dump as I remember it. The Forum in Fishers wasn’t bad, though.

I don’t know what rink he works at.

thanks for the info! Nope but I like the preds.
where and why?

For someone recent into the hockey world. last 4 years… where you from and why do you like the preds? i’m intrested to know what people think outside of this great city.

I’m from Toronto, haven’t been to the playoffs in 7 years. I’ve been following the Preds for a few years, love the style, the players, and the management. Poile and Trotz are highly regarded over here, in fact before we hired Burke, most fans and media wanted Poile here, and umm PEKKA RINNE.

Everyone wants Pekka Rinne.

Except maybe Boston. Haha.

The writer doing the game preview at Raw Charge for the Bruins-Lightning game kept saying Rinne instead of Rask. It became strange after a while.

Wait, where are you from? I missed it…

Blues/Wings game

ends with a brawl

Of course it does, lol
That looks like good chocolate to me.
It's delicious.
I selfishly want the Wings to continue winning at home.

I want their streak to end February 17. With a game the Preds totally dominate them.

8-0 will work for me.
that would be really sweet

to do to them in the Joe

Haven’t we done that to them already?

yeah, but it was here in Nashville

Feb 28th, 2009

But they’d get so many points between now and then.

Only 8 points

They only have 4 home games between now and then.

Wait, do we have 3 Dmen out, or did Suter just switch with Josi?
wow this PP looks bad
Yeah... it really does.
So,

that was a PP foooorrr……? I couldn’t tell..

All of our PPs are pretty poor. Yet, we still score.

Who is that meandering to the bench??

I didn’t hear who they said, and I couldn’t see the numbers.

Nice move there by Weber.
Was it just me or did Suter think about shooting on Rinne?

It has been awhile since his last own goal…

wow... attendance is just over 14,000 tonight
wow that's a huge dip from normal

Monday night against CBJ… I guess

Probably what the Hawks game would’ve been if not for all the wagoners there.

We’d definitely have sold them to Preds fans. They planned the road trip and got tix a long time ago. No way a Sat. night game against the Hawks wasn’t going to sell out.

Eh, Monday night..

Worst team in the league..
Yadda, yadda, yadda

But... it's usually a guaranteed win!

Tornado sirens for 1 1/2 hours last night…

HUSTLECHUK!!!
Hustlechuck!!!!!!!!!
EVERY DAY I'M HUSTLING

Gotta get the sound guy to play that clip after each Hustlegoal ©

I know!! I wonder how easy that would be to coordinate

Everyday I'm hustlechuck
Halischuck to Trotz

“would you like to bench me again?”

Hustlechuk says

YOU WILL NOT SCRATCH ME AGAIN!

Hustlechuck back in the lineup

Try benching him again Trotzy

I wonder if S.P. going to argue again in the post game on how Halischuk should be benched.

Every day im Hustlin
Who are we to scratch him? :')
Halischuk has 11 goals...

ELEVEN!!!

4th-line minutes, too.

That's phenomenal.
Jason Arn-who?!
HE SHOOT, HE SCORES, YOU SUCK

Loud and clear 303, loud and clear.

What the hell are Pete and Terry talking about?!?

mohawks?

I missed the first part and was extremely confused. They just seemed highly amused with themselves.

i heard the first part

still confused. I was just laughing at senile old men.

Pretty much, yep, hahaha.
It ended with "Like ants on a hot pecan pie"

Today is National Pie Day, after all.

Ha, yeah I heard that!

It sounded like Pete said, “Oh geez, pecan pie… mmm…”

I'm watching it on the Columbus feed, these guys have nothing positive to talk about, its kinda funny,
Please tell me it's like Bob Uecker from Major League.

That would be awesome.

depressing (fake) quotes

“Brett Lebda has been as competent as any Blue Jacket this season”

“Here comes Brett Lebda, he’s been pretty good in the minors this year. He’s only -27. That would be third on Columbus.”

I wanna throw my hat at my television..

glares at Fisher

I would love to hear the crowd start chanting “Fisher…Frosties”.

Fish Frosties!!

wendy’s next flavor

Tootoo would love that!

Along with raw caribou burgers.

Wendys

used to have a really delicious fish sandwich

Speaking of fish sandwiches, what ever happened to the Ladies… Man

Have you had the one at Red Robin? Yummm…..

haha not even close, but if there was ever an excuse to get drunk on the air, those guys have it.
Fish really wants number 3...

come on buddy…

Where was this effort last period?!

That was nap time.

Hosted by Anders!

with Gnash stuffed animals?

And his best friend, Blankey!

He passes out the nap mats. We had those in Kindergarten. Maybe you’re too young to know the kind I’m talking about…

They don’t have nap mats anymore?

They don’t even nap anymore.

Aren’t a lot of Kindergartens like half-days now, or early release?

Not in the public schools. My daughter had half-day K in Iowa. Poor teacher had two classes of 25-26 kids each (morning class, and afternoon class).

Huh. The public school I student taught at in IL had half-day. It probably differs per state.

They do. The boy has to “sleep” on them every day.

Wow…where? Not in the school my kids attended.

He’s still in daycare.

just like the bottom one

yep

young team needs a nap

It was the second period. That’s the break period.

We needed to save a second period for tomorrow.

Aah, there you go!

No Toews tomorrow, would be nice to pick up that win heading into the break.

if we get this win and blackhawks then we'll be tied in points with the hawks

They were out on the upper level deck smoking.

I certainly hope they weren’t!

They didn't have their 2nd intermission orange slices and gummi bears yet
Honey Badger got an assist on Hustle's goal.
PP time

hurry up, we’re on a commercial break.

I’m hilarious

Me too, too much beer.

That was a bizarre collision of bodies back there behind the play.

And dude in the box is MAD.

Slew footing is REALLY not cool.
If Crispy calls it cheap...

By golly, that was cheap!

Almost as cheap as P. Kane!

retweeted by Cellblock 303

Red Wings now with 17 straight home wins. League record is 20, by 1929-30 Bruins and 1975-76 Flyers

LOL
codeyh Codey Holland
Lebda takes a high stick from Kostitsyn, ref skates right by, no call.. LOL

The R. Dangerfield of hockey.

FROSTY NIGHT!!!
Sugar high

Googoo clusters and frostys. What is is that brings about the free donut?

A donut, of course.

Ahh..that makes sense.

Cheap a$$ slewfoot

Most dangerous play

Good way to give someone a concussion.
HEY GUYS, WE CAN SCORE GOALS!!!!!

THIS IS AWESOME!

Frosties and Goo Goos!

very upset i could not attend the most tasty of games

It is a taste tragedy.

Sugar Coma Game
Anders approved.

Energy drinks, too.

Frosties, goo goos, and energy drinks. No one is sleeping tonight.

Energy drinks?

A coupon for an energy drink on your way out of the building after every win.

Though I NEVER see them!

You have to go out one of the main entrances/exits.

Oh, maybe that’s why I didn’t see them over break. I usually go out the back door though… wouldn’t they be there? Eh, whatever.

I did that before too, and still didn’t have them. Only one time on a side exit (the long glass by the front entrance).

I’ve seen them all the time when I go out the Demonbreun exit

Always have them at the entrance nearest the new convention ctr.

They hand them out by the exits.

Oh. Didn’t know that. Not sure how I missed that one.

That’s the best promotion since I’ve got a 2 hour drive after every game I go to.

Dip your goo goo in the frosty!

Imagine if there’d been doughnuts, too!

if krispy kreme sponsered shutouts

anders would be the best goalie EVER!

Krispy Kremes>>>>>>>Dunkin’ Donuts.

Far, far, FAR better.

Not in the same league.

Not as an investment though.

apparently you can’t get both, you have to use your ticket.

A powerplay is fresh

Never thought I would ever type that…..

"our" , see, I am confused
who would ever think right?
Yes, Predators

Wear out those Blue Jackets. Break their will.

vvvvvvvvv

so they fly to Tampa and fold like dirty laundry when Stamkos fires one past whatever mattress they’ve got in goal.

Are you sure it’s a mattress? Perhaps it’s more like a couch cushion.

as long as it doesn’t fight back. Tampa needs this.

Couch cushions are usually kinda flat, small, and uncomfortable. Tampa should be grand.

I bet they hate us SO much.
HANDS GO UP!!!

AND THEY STAY THERE!

Up down, up down, up down

Cause all I do is win!

HANDS GO UPPPP

………………..

The marshmallow sealed the deal for me.
hands be up yo
jrlind J.R. Lind
The Predators have won a gazillion of their last gazillion-plus-two #Estimated #LongView

Newest Preds Parody acct on Twitter:

@DavidPoile

Does he keep making you think he’s going to make a major post, only to disappoint you with minor ones every once in a while?

Okay, I liked. It’s not new at all. Tonight was in my recommended follows, but I see that his tweets go back to Feb 09!

Posted on July 1st...

@DavidPoile: “I’m happy to announce that the Nashville Predators have acquired a new fax machine.”

i lol’d

I know I should have used that “sign one Olympic defenseman, get the other at 25% off” coupon while it was still valid.

did the Preds break Toews?

I don’t think so… I believe it was someone from Florida (?) who slashed his wrist the night before.

No, Florida did.

Fish with 2 goals
Suter with 2 assists
Erat with 2 assists

We had some busy guys tonight!

Marc Torrence @OTFMarc
RT @jsports38: Pekka Rinne with his 8th straight win, a new franchise record for consecutive wins.

That's awesome!
hahaha you guys are good times, its been fun, thanks, see you all next time.

Night. and Welcome.

Enjoyed it! Take care.

So, does the win streak affect DP’s decisions? Do they go all-in for a deep playoff run, or decide that they status quo is doing pretty well?

I think we might be getting into rental territory....

but you never can know with Poile..

Depends on Suter, I think. I bet there’ll still be talk of getting “one more piece.”

Always worth it.
We've won 11 of our last 13.
Time for the after party
