Speaking of rookies Craig Smith looked amazing in the relay. I was just like Datsyuk is so good, and then when Smith came out, I kept thinking don’t mess up, but after Smith was halfway through I was thinking I wish I could see his and Datsyuk relay side by side because Smith was fast around those pylons.
Yeah. The crowd in Nashville is just so much more badly behaved than other fan bases. [looking at you, Vancouver/Boston/Philadelphia/Montreal. Sorry if I’ve left anyone out.]
he’s oscillating more that I like to bend a note on the guitar. That’s damn near an octave of waver. with all that slop, he’s guaranteed to slide across the right note somewhere…
Did you celebrate all of them? I like to observe things like that and have sometimes googled lists of them to put them on my calendar. Even let the dogs each have a pancake on Nat’l Pancake Day.
oh, doesn’t sound like a very interesting sport to me. I guess someone likes it or they wouldn’t have commercials for it during the HOCKEY All Star Game… Whodathunkit?
I am pretty sure that was the case for both of them. You can’t really just show up and go out to sea, you need to find someone who knows the area. Nice fish by both of them. They should do an outdoors challenge or something, maybe they could get some sponsors to donate to charity.
Quick question – what’s everyone’s opinion of the Bart Durham commercial we’ve seen a million times lately, in which one girl takes off her shirt to get Buzz’s attention. I’ll explain why I ask after I hear what you think…
It was really bad. Fake Eastern European accent bad.
Ever since then, his commercials has gone from actor portrayed-but still relevant to the case commercials to vaguely sexist garbage.
Have you seen the one where it’s just sweaty people dancing around while the details of someone’s case are being read? I think they’re doing Zumba or something but it’s a little much. How he has any credibility left as a lawyer, I don’t know.
I asked twice already for the relevance the sexist garbage, but he hasn’t replied, He just keeps asking about specific changes that could be made, and whether I’d still find them offensive.
Can you imagine hiring an attorney who doesn’t have enough sense to know how bad those commercials are?
I emailed to complain about the commercial and now am in a back-and-forth email dialogue with someone there about the specifics re: it’s offensiveness.
only once that the announcers have mentioned. I saw Price take his legs out from under him a 2nd time when Hartsy was crashing the goal, dunno if they counted that
So, my husband and I may be going to the Preds/Bruins game in Boston on Feb. 11. I have been told by Boston natives that if I wear any Preds gear I'd probably get beat up.
I don't know...but I've thought about wearing my GOLD Preds jersey and taking a risk. I mean, seriously, if they feel like they have to beat up a 5ft.1 little curly headed blonde girl then they have bigger problems than hockey.
Davisca has said she’s going to a game in gold. Not sure whether she has previously, though. She said she was going to try and join us on this thread late in the game.
I'm wearing my jersey. (Or at least I'm planning on it.)
If someone decides to yap at me, I’ll take it up with the security people. I should be allowed to wear whatever jersey I want and not get harassed. I am, however, going to stop over at Stanley Cup of Chowder a few days before and see what they say/suggest/etc. They probably know best, so if they highly suggest I don’t wear it, I won’t. Otherwise… ain’t a whole lot stopping me!
Ooh, Predators at Kings and Predators at Ducks are back-to-back at the beginning of my kids’ Spring Break, but we went to CA last March, and I didn’t plan to go out there again already…
I think for every trip a Pred fan makes where our lives are in danger, we should get a special one on one time with the Preds players of our choice. :)
I just read that, yeah. My roommate is from the area and she says she doesn’t think it should be a problem as long as you’re respectful and polite, so we’ll see. I’m planning on wearing it still, though. Like I said above, I’m gonna stop by the Bruins SBN just to double check with those guys and see what they say, cause if anyone knows best, it’s those guys.
That's a good idea...I'll have to do that too. And I would NEVER be disrespectful. BUT...they may think that cheering for the Preds is disrespectful...
Yes we should meet up!!!! My husband is in sales and travels for a living, and he has customers there. We would be taking his customers to entertain them.
Have no idea where we’re sitting b/c we don’t have tickets yet. ALthough We SHOULD get tickets soon…they are double what tickets are for Preds games!
No kidding!! I bought my tickets in SEPTEMBER, way up in the 300s, and they were $135 EACH. (Yay for early xmas presents…) I keep hearing people complain about $40 upper-bowl tickets to the Preds game, and I’m like you know, it could be a LOT worse. I would look into tickets ASAP, seriously.
That’s what I figure. If anyone tries to pick on me, they will be VERY startled. I’m an extremely polite and respectful person (especially in someone else’s barn), and I may be very small, but I can stand every single damn inch of my ground when I need to, while still being respectful and intelligent. It usually surprises people into compliance, lol. If it gets really bad, I’ll just go to the security people. Like you said, it’s my jersey and I should be able to wear it wherever the heck I want!
That's what I was thinking. I'm small too but dang it, if someone wants to get in my face, I'll put my southern charm on hold for a few minutes until it gets resolved
I did! One of the guys I talked to was a transplant, yeah. The lady I talked to had a friend or family member or someone who liked the Preds, and the more she watched them, the more they grew on her. It was kinda funny though, whenever I walked by another Preds fan, we both exchanged small little knowing smiles and head-nods. Solidarity!
Brian Elliott is an NHL-average or slightly above average goalie having a very good year. His numbers will go down again. Maybe not this season, though.
Does NJ not have a rep?
Elias has been tearing it up. Do any other teams not have reps? Also didn’t there use to be a rookie game?
Predmonton - January 29, 2012
I thought W'peg was the only team w/o a rep
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Oh NJ’s are rookies.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Neither NJ rookie accepted right? are both hurt?
Predmonton - January 29, 2012
They’re in the “unable to participate” section. Hurt, I guess.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Speaking of rookies Craig Smith looked amazing in the relay. I was just like Datsyuk is so good, and then when Smith came out, I kept thinking don’t mess up, but after Smith was halfway through I was thinking I wish I could see his and Datsyuk relay side by side because Smith was fast around those pylons.
Predmonton - January 29, 2012
Of course he looked amazing! He’s the Honey Badger.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
I guess they should have made him stick handle around snakes :)
Predmonton - January 29, 2012
Just to make it fair.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
He wouldn’t give a ****.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
cbj doesn't have one... johansen is a rookie

Good afternoon OTFers!
Go Team Hair!
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Great hair = better team
proven fact.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I’ve always said hair can make or break a person.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
YaY
Team Hair!
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
It's weird seeing Stamkos in red.
I dislike it.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
+1
Predator119 - January 29, 2012
I’d love to see him in Gold.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
:P
CAustin - January 29, 2012
What's everybody's prediction for DP's trade deadline activity?
Predator119 - January 29, 2012
I’m trying not to think about it anymore.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Me either. At this point everything that can be said has been said at least 40,000 times. We just have to wait and see.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Yes!
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Don’t know, I just hope that he does not trade Wilson, Smith, or Josi.
Predmonton - January 29, 2012
This
davisca - January 31, 2012
How many times is Hartnell going to donate to charity today?
I miss that guy.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
That Hartnell Down thing is really cool.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
It is. I think it’s great that he’s turned something that would irritate most people into something awesome.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Oh goody. Lame pre-game music.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Exhibit #1 for why we need the All-Star Game in Nashville
This opening act.
GoldnI - January 29, 2012
Seriously.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill could tear it up.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
And I really HATE seeing Sutes in blue.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
ME TOO.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Although the Preds 3rds-that-used-to-be are blue
So never mind.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Even worse
Seeing Shea Weber in…ugh…red.
GoldnI - January 29, 2012
gag.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Except Team Canada red. So never mind again.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I figured out why we would never get to host an ASG
during the player introductions, for any non-preds, we’d yell “SUCKS!”
JBoogie22 - January 29, 2012
I hope not. I really hate that the Toronto players are being booed this weekend.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Yeah. The crowd in Nashville is just so much more badly behaved than other fan bases. [looking at you, Vancouver/Boston/Philadelphia/Montreal. Sorry if I’ve left anyone out.]
/sarcasm
CAustin - January 29, 2012
dude's got some pipes!
JBoogie22 - January 29, 2012
Okay this anthem singer is good.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Well, 1 out of 3 isn't bad, I guess.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I liked him on The Voice.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
I don't normally like the wave
But I like what they’re doing with the Canadian flag.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
so does the old dude
JBoogie22 - January 29, 2012
ouch, that waver hurts
he’s oscillating more that I like to bend a note on the guitar. That’s damn near an octave of waver. with all that slop, he’s guaranteed to slide across the right note somewhere…
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
Tim Horton's any good?
JBoogie22 - January 29, 2012
@MikeCorcoranNHL
Was this intro music selected from #TBLightning warm up music greatest hits?
CAustin - January 29, 2012
And it's on!
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Lundquist has a sad.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
I wanted to hear what he said on that mic at that moment.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Haha I did too!
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
that was a pretty sweet goal
Perfect timing on the pass from Datsyuk.
Dirk Hoag - January 29, 2012
Team Chara with the big lead
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
That shot by Malkin was sick.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
I still can’t even figure out what he did! I kept replaying it.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
this CBC feed is driving me nuts
JBoogie22 - January 29, 2012
Lundqvist's mask is cool
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
poor Team Alfie
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
yeah...they getting crushed.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
plenty of time left. I want one of our guys to score a goal
Predator119 - January 29, 2012
Team Hair will make a comeback.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Great hair is it’s own reward.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Gabby and Hossa
scary combination.
Daniel Mills - January 29, 2012
BTW
ladies…
Daniel Mills - January 29, 2012
Team Hair!!
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Suter a -1 now...
O_o
Daniel Mills - January 29, 2012
Yeah, I wasn’t paying attention at first and thought he got a goal. Then realized he was in the wrong jersey. :-P
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Great screen by Spezza
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012

Scotty Hartnell
so cute grinning like that.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
He is. I heart him.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
He kind of defines the "Happy to Be Here" thing
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Yep. He seems like he’s having a great time.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Go Team Hair!
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
lol.....i have the cbc feed and they had the live mics on
as Hartnell was skating by the other bench, he said “suck it Phaneuf”
Predator119 - January 29, 2012
now that's funny.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
WOO TEAM HAIR!
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Suter didn't clear it...
haha
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
Is Suter -2 or -3 now?
:-(
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Suter paired with Timonen.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
That was nuts.
Datsyuk just caught the puck with his stick.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
Many sentences about Pavel Datsyuk begin with “That was nuts…”
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Datsyuk
is absolutely deserving of 1st pick
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
@jtbourne
Tortorella just made an interview with Pierre McGuire great. The man is a wizard.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Penalty Shot!
This is gonna be awesome!@
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
ugh.
Tried that yesterday in the elimination shootout.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
It worked then.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Nertz.
Poor Stammer.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
He seemed in good spirits over it. :-) I loved the pirouette.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Shea is cruising in deep
he wants a goal
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
Seriously.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
Lundquist is funny.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
And he managed to make Pierre useful.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
National Curmudgeon Day?
Who knew Grizzledbear had his own day?
CAustin - January 29, 2012
HA!!
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Friday was National Chocolate Cake Day. We ate at Cracker Barrel, because they have the best chocolate cake.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Last week had National Pie Day, National Peanut Butter Day, and National Chocolate Cake Day. It was awesome.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Did you celebrate all of them? I like to observe things like that and have sometimes googled lists of them to put them on my calendar. Even let the dogs each have a pancake on Nat’l Pancake Day.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
I did try to convince a friend to have pie for dinner.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I do that kind of things with my kids. Creates fun memories. Adjust the sugar intake another day.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Suter looks like a little lost puppy in the dressing room. :-(
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
what is this super bowl thing they keep talking about in the commercials?
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
super what?
I think it may have something to do with a sport played with a modified pig bladder.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
oh, doesn’t sound like a very interesting sport to me. I guess someone likes it or they wouldn’t have commercials for it during the HOCKEY All Star Game… Whodathunkit?
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
Well apparently
some people are under the impression that the US Figure Skating Championships are more interesting than hockey.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Yeah I don't really get that...I literally asked myself when I saw it was on NBC, "Who would want to watch that?"
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Figure skating… you mean like Erat does?
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
Worse.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I think it's some kind of advertising competition
I hear a lot about commercials tied to it.
Dirk Hoag - January 29, 2012
The Volkswagen Darth Vader one won last year. Or was that the year before?
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
That was last year. This year VW has one of dogs barking the Star Wars theme.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Worked for them last year; sticking with a similar theme.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
CAustin, did you hear Lundqvist just now?
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Yeah.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I'm loving this mic'd up thing..
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Price v Quick
Who do I cheer for?
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Pekka!
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
He’s on a beach in Florida right now.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Yes I have heard that...
I only said that because it’s hard to cheer for any goalie other than Peks or Lindy.
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Not for me. :)
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I wish I was. Although it’s probably not that warm…
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
DId y'all see the HUGE marlin that Toots caught in Florida? He tweeted a pic of it...
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
I saw Fish’s fish. They were apparently chirping each other.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
hehe yep. It was quite entertaining.
Toots probably took a private deep sea fishing trip with people who helped him catch it :)
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
I am pretty sure that was the case for both of them. You can’t really just show up and go out to sea, you need to find someone who knows the area. Nice fish by both of them. They should do an outdoors challenge or something, maybe they could get some sponsors to donate to charity.
Josiah2729 - January 29, 2012 via Android app
I did see that. Not surprised.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
really? someone posted a pic on the preds facebook of him and a young fan at the cool springs mall…it wasn’t a promotional appearance
predmama - January 29, 2012
according to an interview (can’t remember where) he and some friends were going to Florida
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I was wondering earlier who your favorites are.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
In this game it Lundqvist above all, but Quick coming up fast. Price is funny, though.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
price in goal….i was yelling at him through the tv all weekend that he took rinne’s spot lol
predmama - January 29, 2012
They just undressed Quick right there.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
Three goals for Gabby already? sick.
DonBorvio - January 29, 2012
Who can we ask to mic Peks up while he's in goal??
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
we would just hear cursing in finnish when the defense lets him down
predmama - January 29, 2012
He probably says the Finnish equivalent of “Fudge!”
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
"paska"
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Where's team Alfie's defense.
I see way too many 2 or 3 on 1s.
DonBorvio - January 29, 2012
There is no defense in the All-Star game
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Yeah, kinda sucks since Webs and Sutes are defensemen...
They don’t get much glory!
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
if it makes you feel better they're still +/- 0 atm
Herzausstein - January 29, 2012
Weber is +1 I think.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
ahh he is
for now…. this game is going to be outof control scoring
Herzausstein - January 29, 2012
I love how they will never call offsides.
It’s hilarious.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
They did toward the beginning of the game.
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Then the crowd started showing the refs their pitchforks and torches and they stopped blowing the whistles.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
lol exactly
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Team Hair!
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Price was like Uh, guys, will you quit talking to me? I have a puck coming toward me.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
“Woop, here we go.”
CAustin - January 29, 2012
End game prediction
Team Chara 10
Team Alfredsson 9
Herzausstein - January 29, 2012
Why would they keep the Sedin twins together but separate Weber and Suter?? They're kindof like twins..
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
A more-feared combo.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Makes sense...
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
because Chara wasn’t about to play nice with either one of the Sedins.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
EWWW Corey Perry...
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
shudder
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
I would like it if he didn’t get any points in this game.
With his tiny stick.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
AHAHAHAHAHA.
What a goober…
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Did he not realize what he was opening himself up to there?
“Perry thought we’d be impressed with his little stick.” (sign)
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Oh I’d pay money to see that sign at Bridgestone.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I’ll make it if someone else will hold it. Or if I really get my nerve up, I’ll hold it myself.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
I don’t think they come back here this season. Too bad. that would have been fun.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Then I’ll do it next season. Won’t be as fresh on everyone’s minds, but he’ll know what I’m talking about. If he reads it.
He saw the last sign we made about him, and flipped a puck over the ice to us, amazingly. I guess he just likes the attention.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
He can read?
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I suspect that Selanne read it to him.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
I suspect Saku could have as well, they have a good education system in Finland…
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
Hartnell is all up in the mix
he’s singlehandedly bringing the physicality to the ASG
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
I just realized how pretty Lundqvist is.
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
He’s dreamy.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Him, or his goaltending?
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
HIM! He's a beautiful man. But not as beautiful as Pekka... :)
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
He’s gorgeous.
And rich.
And talented
And funny.
Am I drooling?
CAustin - January 29, 2012
He’s no Josi.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Quick question – what’s everyone’s opinion of the Bart Durham commercial we’ve seen a million times lately, in which one girl takes off her shirt to get Buzz’s attention. I’ll explain why I ask after I hear what you think…
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Every Bart Durham commercial is bad. That one drives me nuts though.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Thanks for the answer. Anyone else?
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
I don’t like it, but it doesn’t make me crazy because I don’t expect any better.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
It's one of the most ridiculous commercials I've ever seen.
But all of the creepy fool’s commercials are head-shakingly bad. Remember the “Nashville’s First Soap Opera” ones?
Predbird - January 29, 2012
Those were abysmal.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Thankfully, I don’t. Maybe I’ve blocked that memory.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
It was really bad. Fake Eastern European accent bad.
Ever since then, his commercials has gone from actor portrayed-but still relevant to the case commercials to vaguely sexist garbage.
Have you seen the one where it’s just sweaty people dancing around while the details of someone’s case are being read? I think they’re doing Zumba or something but it’s a little much. How he has any credibility left as a lawyer, I don’t know.
Predbird - January 29, 2012
I asked twice already for the relevance the sexist garbage, but he hasn’t replied, He just keeps asking about specific changes that could be made, and whether I’d still find them offensive.
Can you imagine hiring an attorney who doesn’t have enough sense to know how bad those commercials are?
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Is it a political ad or something?
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
Injury lawyer. Are you watching on NBC Sports?
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
yeah, but I read during commercials
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
I emailed to complain about the commercial and now am in a back-and-forth email dialogue with someone there about the specifics re: it’s offensiveness.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Tell them:
“Stop showing girls showing their boobs.”
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I already said that, and oh so much more. Just thought I’d take an informal poll so that I could prove that it’s not just me that dislikes them.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
He asked whether I’d still be offended if both girls had pizza.
#StillPortrayingWomenAsBimbos #WhatsTheRelevance?
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Pizza is not the issue. Boobs is the issue.
(Idiot.)
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Wow, how does he win any cases with that logic?
No, you ambulance chaser, pizza would not make it better.

Suter with the interview!

Sutes!

yay! suter!

Shut up, Pierre!

“That’s what I’m talking about!”
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
To Suter: "Good luck with your contract." um....really???????????/
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
I guess that is a sore issue with me...
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
He already said he wants to deal with it later.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
I know, it just seemed like the wrong time to bring up his contract issues
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
It is. Suter should have punched him.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Thank you!!!!!!!!! I was afraid I was the only one who thought that??
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
No that’s what my latest “shut up Pierre” was in reference to.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Wonder if Suter feels the need for a shower after brig CreePierred.

alfie just cut through the all, didn't he?
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
The home crowd loves that!
DonBorvio - January 29, 2012
off topic....
but i will be REALLY disappointed when nashville gets the ASG if we can’t get our own goalie in there
predmama - January 29, 2012
nice Goal!
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
+ 2 for weber?
predmama - January 29, 2012
I think still +1.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
no…i saw him on the ice for another goal
predmama - January 29, 2012
Ah. Nhl.com still just has +1. That’s where I got that.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
gotcha…must’ve been on ice for a goal against
predmama - January 29, 2012
DANG.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
Team Hair finally with a lead!
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Ok...I'm ready to see Shea's 106 mph bullet
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
That's pretty cool for Alfie
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Price is doing everything to keep from freezing the puck.
jasonkylebates - January 29, 2012
That’s why they don’t want Rinne there. He’s a puck freezing specialist
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
if rinne is there there is a good chance that he could get a shutout in his period
predmama - January 29, 2012
so far, hasn't each goalie allowed 3 goals a piece??
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
yeah.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
At least they're all "even" and one can't trash talk the other for allowing more goals..
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Has Hartnell fallen yet?
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
only once that the announcers have mentioned. I saw Price take his legs out from under him a 2nd time when Hartsy was crashing the goal, dunno if they counted that
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
CAustin - January 29, 2012
that was supposed to say “twice”
CAustin - January 29, 2012
You’re sure that’s not what the C stands for? Just kidding. I do a lot of research. :-)
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
And thank you!
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Can't anyone do anything about Pierre McGuire?
He’s annoying.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
10-9 looks likely at this point.
DonBorvio - January 29, 2012
is everybody ready for drake? woo-hoo!
predmama - January 29, 2012
presses mute button
DonBorvio - January 29, 2012
Mine, too. Yay for mute buttons!
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
now I feel old
I’ve never heard of this Drake fella before…
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
same here.
DonBorvio - January 29, 2012
Is he the guy who runs the new restaurant in Cool Springs?
Dirk Hoag - January 29, 2012
aww look how cute! all the all-starts came back out to the ice to watch Drake :)
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
canadian and rap should never be mentioned in the same sentence :)
predmama - January 29, 2012
AHH! Did y'all see some of the players videoing Drake with their phones??
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
And singing along.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
And “singing” along.
Fixed.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
lol I think it's the cutest thing ever! Well, maybe not EVER...
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
weber just looked bored in that shot
predmama - January 29, 2012
I feel his pain.
DonBorvio - January 29, 2012
Maybe Sutes would sign if we told him we could end that performance faster. #HeLikesCountry
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
I don’t think he can even hear himself. He’s too fast and off-key.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
i have a feeling weber is bored anyway….no checking, no powerplays and no penalty kills
predmama - January 29, 2012
And can’t use the slap shot for fear of killing someone.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
What happened to good rap, you know like from the late 80s?
DonBorvio - January 29, 2012
Oxymoron.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
there was good rap at some point?
Herzausstein - January 29, 2012
I bet Shea is the type of guy that would surprise us with his music choice. He probably likes blue grass or opera. hehe
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
I’m sure some of those “get to know the players” bits have said, but I don’t remember.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Stamkos has a white Iphone. Apple didn't know they would have free advertisement during this game...
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Per @PredsNHL, "Preds All-Star Shea Weber leads all skaters in ice time with 15:39."
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Yep. http://www.nhl.com/ice/boxscore.htm?id=2011040059&navid=DL|NHL|home
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Uh oh,
it’s Timmy Thomas time in the 3rd. is that bad for Team Hair? probably yes. When Giroux gonna show up?
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
mostly unrelated
but the Rangers/Sabres game that they’re advertising for wednesday, who expects that to be a rout?
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
[hand in the air] Me-me-me-me-me!
CAustin - January 29, 2012
So, my husband and I may be going to the Preds/Bruins game in Boston on Feb. 11. I have been told by Boston natives that if I wear any Preds gear I'd probably get beat up.
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
That's despicable
can’t Boston be more decent than that? or are they scared?
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
I don't know...but I've thought about wearing my GOLD Preds jersey and taking a risk. I mean, seriously, if they feel like they have to beat up a 5ft.1 little curly headed blonde girl then they have bigger problems than hockey.
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
what does boston have against us??
predmama - January 29, 2012
last St. Patty’s Day?
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
oh boo-hoo…an overtime win against a team that went on to win the cup
predmama - January 29, 2012
They're Boston. They're a different breed up there when it comes to hockey.
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Just tell them we hate the Canucks just as much as you do!
DonBorvio - January 29, 2012
OHH that's a good line! I'll remember that!
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
I thought about going to that game.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
I wish you would! Then my husband and I wouldn't be alone! We'd have more witnessess...
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
You can all sit together (and Davisca, too).
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Davisca has said she’s going to a game in gold. Not sure whether she has previously, though. She said she was going to try and join us on this thread late in the game.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
I'm wearing my jersey. (Or at least I'm planning on it.)
If someone decides to yap at me, I’ll take it up with the security people. I should be allowed to wear whatever jersey I want and not get harassed. I am, however, going to stop over at Stanley Cup of Chowder a few days before and see what they say/suggest/etc. They probably know best, so if they highly suggest I don’t wear it, I won’t. Otherwise… ain’t a whole lot stopping me!
davisca - January 29, 2012
Ooh, Predators at Kings and Predators at Ducks are back-to-back at the beginning of my kids’ Spring Break, but we went to CA last March, and I didn’t plan to go out there again already…
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
That would be an awesome trip!
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
I think for every trip a Pred fan makes where our lives are in danger, we should get a special one on one time with the Preds players of our choice. :)
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Gee, what player would you choose?
CAustin - January 29, 2012
McGrattan?
Predbird - January 29, 2012
(if I was in danger of a beatdown)
Predbird - January 29, 2012
HONEY BADGER. Or Josi. Or both. At once?
davisca - January 29, 2012
Too much awesomeness at once. Could you handle it?
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
I’m pretty sure I can handle that.
davisca - January 29, 2012
ladies…
CAustin - January 29, 2012
: )
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Sadly, last year, Preds played the Kings in Nashville while we were out there. But at least it was easy to see the game on TV.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Easy, wear gold (brass) knuckles with your gold jersey!
Take no prisoners and have a good time! Cold water should get the blood out of your jersey.
Predbird - January 29, 2012
Yeah Tim Thomas!!! His awesome play should shut up the naysayers and haters about his "not going to the white house"...
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Who is mic'd this period?
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Giroux?
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Someone who doesn’t have much to say?
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Whoever it is, he’s no Carey Price.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
lol yep...good observation
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
I guess it’s Thomas.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
I'm here!
davisca - January 29, 2012
Hey, when are you going to the game in Boston – Feb. 11? SuperPeks is going and heard it’d be dangerous to wear gold.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Yep...it's true.
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
I just read that, yeah. My roommate is from the area and she says she doesn’t think it should be a problem as long as you’re respectful and polite, so we’ll see. I’m planning on wearing it still, though. Like I said above, I’m gonna stop by the Bruins SBN just to double check with those guys and see what they say, cause if anyone knows best, it’s those guys.
davisca - January 29, 2012
That's a good idea...I'll have to do that too. And I would NEVER be disrespectful. BUT...they may think that cheering for the Preds is disrespectful...
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
We should try to meet up at the game!! Where are you sitting? Are you guys just visiting Boston?
davisca - January 29, 2012
Yes we should meet up!!!! My husband is in sales and travels for a living, and he has customers there. We would be taking his customers to entertain them.
Have no idea where we’re sitting b/c we don’t have tickets yet. ALthough We SHOULD get tickets soon…they are double what tickets are for Preds games!
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
No kidding!! I bought my tickets in SEPTEMBER, way up in the 300s, and they were $135 EACH. (Yay for early xmas presents…) I keep hearing people complain about $40 upper-bowl tickets to the Preds game, and I’m like you know, it could be a LOT worse. I would look into tickets ASAP, seriously.
davisca - January 29, 2012
Yeah, I wonder whether they’d say you shouldn’t wear it just to keep a visible presence out…
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
I love that you can actually SEE Preds fans. It’s awesome.
davisca - January 29, 2012
screw them…you should be allowed to wear your jersey anywhere. if they want to be classless buttholes it’s their problem not yours
predmama - January 29, 2012
That’s what I figure. If anyone tries to pick on me, they will be VERY startled. I’m an extremely polite and respectful person (especially in someone else’s barn), and I may be very small, but I can stand every single damn inch of my ground when I need to, while still being respectful and intelligent. It usually surprises people into compliance, lol. If it gets really bad, I’ll just go to the security people. Like you said, it’s my jersey and I should be able to wear it wherever the heck I want!
davisca - January 29, 2012
That's what I was thinking. I'm small too but dang it, if someone wants to get in my face, I'll put my southern charm on hold for a few minutes until it gets resolved
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
I'm finishing up a fan-post about this on SCofC right now.
I’ll let you know when I post it so you can check it out and see what people say.
davisca - January 29, 2012
Post is up!
Here it is.
davisca - January 29, 2012
Let us know later what the concensus is.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
timmy got pissed..
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
There's Giroux!
DonBorvio - January 29, 2012
He kinda sounds like a 7 year old little boy playing with his friends lol
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
Whoa, does Weber really have 0 points??
Surprising!
davisca - January 29, 2012
It is surprising! And he’s 2nd in TOI.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
Oops. 3rd in TOI.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
LOL at Giroux trying to trip Hartnell.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Dumbest questions ever.
So, um, what does it feel like being successful? Do you like it?
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I HATE BEING SUCCESSFUL.
I WISH I FAILED AT EVERYTHING.
davisca - January 29, 2012
Hossa still sucks.
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
doh
DonBorvio - January 29, 2012
god elliot sucks
predmama - January 29, 2012
Yeahhh….
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Rats. C @#$% P scored.
I am sad.
Also, poor Elliott.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Yawn...
…somebody needs to punch Perry just to liven things up.
Griz-ATL - January 29, 2012
I volunteer.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Imagine how many people would line up, given the chance.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
road trip idea
Pred at Avs for the last game of the season would be great. But such a haul! I wish there was a weekend away game left that is closer.
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
Hmmmm I could be in for that.
ILovethe#6CannonFire - January 29, 2012
I would totally be in for that! Colorado would be a beautiful place to spread some gold!
SuperPeks - January 29, 2012
There were a TON of Preds fans when I went to the January game, too!
davisca - January 29, 2012
Did you talk to any? Wonder whether they were transplanted Tennesseans…
LuvthePreds - January 29, 2012
I did! One of the guys I talked to was a transplant, yeah. The lady I talked to had a friend or family member or someone who liked the Preds, and the more she watched them, the more they grew on her. It was kinda funny though, whenever I walked by another Preds fan, we both exchanged small little knowing smiles and head-nods. Solidarity!
davisca - January 29, 2012
The D-men aren’t even getting in the way.
Griz-ATL - January 29, 2012
i’m sorry…but this is a disappointing showing by our boys
predmama - January 29, 2012
Yeah. But really, no one wants to get hurt or hurt anyone. So Shea shaved right before the game.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Hahaha
davisca - January 29, 2012
Weber is +2 despite no points. Tied for the +/- lead for team Alfie. Am I grasping?
Griz-ATL - January 29, 2012
yes
predmama - January 29, 2012
Those Senators
really make Team Hair weak. Them and LeTang
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
all this trying to get Alfredsson the hattie
is really making for sucky hockey
Only Fan In J.C. ? - January 29, 2012
So difference between Thomas and elliot?
IG-PRED8 - January 29, 2012
The difference between Elliot and all the other goalies is 3 goals.
vols7381 - January 29, 2012
pretty much.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
A little. Rinne vs Thomas would’ve been much better.
DonBorvio - January 29, 2012
I'm gonna be unpopular here, but...
Rinne’s first half of the season didn’t deserve it.
vols7381 - January 29, 2012
but carey price did?
predmama - January 29, 2012
No, but all the other Canadiens are worse.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Which is when the voting is done. And it was true last season too.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
I would say his first quarter of the season didn’t deserve it. His second quarter did deserve it. But the cumulative result…didn’t deserve it
Griz-ATL - January 29, 2012
of course. Rinne vs anyone would be better.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
Point being was elliot's stats and inflated
IG-PRED8 - January 29, 2012
Brian Elliott is an NHL-average or slightly above average goalie having a very good year. His numbers will go down again. Maybe not this season, though.
CAustin - January 29, 2012
bye folks
