Game time!

You are the master Obi Wan

Wish I’d come up with something DeadThing-related, but I liked this one.

Hi!

Hal Gill on 102.5 now, in case you haven’t been listening. Oops, too late.

Summary?
well

He said partly what most traded players say. Tough being traded, leaving players you’ve been with… He mentioned that when he heard he was on the market that Preds were one team looking he was glad. Sounded like he knows he’ll be a good fit.

I didn’t know there would be a test, or I’d have taken notes. :-)

Anybody know what NHL centerice channel

On dish network

NHL Network picked it up

so no Center Ice tonight

Sorry

But I thought I was the only Preds/49ers fan! You do Lakers and Dodgers too? :-) are you really me with another screen name?

Just preds and niners, not much of a basketball or baseball fan

Oh yea and notre dame

its not on Center Ice. It is on NHL Network.

Yea I saw it on there but it’s blacked out, thanks though

Foxsports-TN has the game locally.

OK, I knew that it was on NHLN, but DirecTV let me attempt to record it on Center Ice (usually it let’s you know it’s a black out and finds the alternate). I missed the entire first. Grrrr….

Going to miss Patric Hornqvist tonight :(
Is the game game 7 or 730?

NHL.com has it at 730 but I read somewhere that the game commences at 700

6:30 central
Alright,

That’s 730 EST. Thank-you.

The game starts in 36 minutes.

Starting in net for the Detroit Red Wings

Uncle Joey in a wings jersey looks just like Mike Vernon

I’m glad for Blake. Liked having him here, but really, if not here, he SHOULD continue the legacy and play for the Habs! Good luck Blake!

yup yup

yip yip?

Yip Yip hooray!

Yip yip yip!

(Duckie from Land Before Time.)

I think I was before land before time.

HA!

Huh?

(He’s old.)

thank you. :(

That was the implication!!! Haha, sorry!

I don’t LOOK old. Of course I am getting bad gray hairs in the goatee… it may have to depart this earth.

I am 2,000 years old.

Land is older than 2,000 years. Also often flat. And rather dirty.

:\ Good try.

When you shower, do you turn into mud?

I don’t like you no more.

You know you love me. :P

only if you trade me some top scorers!

I keep forgetting to check.

me too… and somehow I am in sixth.

:P~

haha I don’t think you are close to sixth.

bragging is not very attractive

neither am I, since I am muddy and all. :P

That’s what happens when you are land.

this!
Stupid ass SBN... AGAIN!

BRB. Maybe.

So sick of seeing Red Wings fans saying they will sign Suter in the offseason

you had your chance to draft him in 03, go get your own!

If Detroit signs Suter...

He will top my list of most hated athlete.

Oh yeah.

I’d even prefer CHI or VAN than DET.

wow

that was close…gettin ready to watch the game and realized i had a red shirt on

STOP, DROP, & ROLL!!!

If I’m wearing a red shirt, call 911! It means I’m on FIRE!

About to eat dinner...

That's pretty hilarious.

Rec’d

D'oh!
All part of the puzzle.

You’ll see.

some of your best work yet!

Douchebag David

LET'S DO THIS THANG!!!

I have pizza, beer, and chocolate chip cookies! END THE STREAK!

Hahaha

The cookies and beer seem like an unusual combination. Maybe that’s just me though…

It is, a little… I actually have the Woodchuck Winter Cider, though, so it’s a little better.

Right on

You’re currently in Boston, right? Do people drink a lot of Sam Adams there?

I am. And I dunno, actually. I don’t go out a ton. They usually have it on tap, though, so it’s cheaper than normal!! So that’s nice.

I have beer, pizza on the way, and 9832 boxes of Girl Scout cookies! OK, only 6 boxes. Should be enough for tonight though. I hope!

Girl Scout cookies are AWESOME.

Anders probably loves Girl Scout cookie time.

This sounds so good to me!! Haha Weird but good.

I'm feeling classy tonight

Drinking wine with my hocke

Your Hocké!

Yes, it's French

(aka – my boyfriend trying to prevent me from posting that since I have stolen his OTF log-in)

HAHAHA!

A lovely aparatif from Golden CO and mozzarella covered Italian flat bread will be followed by digestif’s that were delivered by young female paramilitary soldiers.

you got cheesebread from Dominos?

Coors, pizza, and girl scout cookies!

Coors is at least better than Bud. I will acknowledge that.

That’s like saying losing a toe is better than losing a finger…

What’s wrong with missing toes?

I certainly wouldn’t want to be missing any.

Actually missing one would be better than having a “problem” one. got shot in the foot in High School. bullet removed the knuckles in two toes. problem is that they fused. now those toes don’t bend. RUINED my Pro Marching Band career! :-)

Stop ruining my metaphor about crappy beer with real life logic!

you could always work as a Ronald McDonald clown?

Chicago might sponsor you for their powerplay! (They call it “clown shoes” haha.)

hahahahahahhahaa!

HAHAHA! an 8 corner from Jets!

I am stuck at work again tonight. Wee. I forgot to turn on the DVR.

No app to turn it on?

yeah but the stupid people that made the directv app can’t figure out how to make the DVR record over the scheduled time (i.e. 15 minutes extra)

Hmm..

As annoying as it would be, I guess at least you can just record the next program

meh it will be replayed on NHLN by the time I get home.

Go Preds! End that home streak!
Alrighty

Lucky shirt? Check.
Lucky brownies? In the oven.
Pants? Off.

let’s do this thing.

Pants off

ladies…

Lucky brownies?

Sounds like something I had in Amsterdam.

It is likely not all that similar.

Awwww

Them’s the breaks, I’m afraid.

that was intriguing information. HAHAHAHA

Pants are ALWAYS off.

Far be it from me to violate GDT policy.

I really have no idea! But of course I cannot take my pants off at work. the DoD probably wouldn’t be too happy.

Yeah, don’t do that.

Good idea. Now you need to help me fix the cryo-unit.

……I don’t even know what that means.

it makes the test chamber very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very cold.

Oh. Maybe you could get ice cubes?

I think it’s much colder than that. (20 Kelvin)

Ah, yeah I don’t think ice cubes will do that.

MIT has a system similar to ours. go borrow it.

Sure thing. It’s only about 20 minutes away!

you might need a BIG truck

I have a Honda Pilot… something tells me that ain’t gonna do it.

We’re gonna need a bigger boat.

+1 for that reference

Best shark movie ever. Not that there are tons of them.

Yeah, I dunno how many there are (especially good ones). Not many, I’m sure.

odd one was Megashark vs Giant Octopus.

Megashark went up 3 games to none and Giant Octopus forced a game 7.

Oh man, I saw clips of that!! It looked awful, haha.

Another TERRIBLE one is “Shark Attack in the Mediterranean.”

no movies I know of that have a sabretooth in it.

except for those weird 60s movies with men, sabretooths and dinosaurs.

The Flintstones?

haha no… probably had Jane fonda in it…. protesting against the bad rap the dinosaurs were getting.

The Ice Age movies have sabretooths (sabreteeth?) Even a sabretooth squirrel as I recall!

Aw, I love that squirrel!

That’s right!

I am ashamed that I forgot that.

I had that squirrel as my background on my work computer.

My daughter will be outraged that I forgot about Ice Age.

I am outraged that you forgot too!

My personal fave: Sharktopus!

i’m not gonna lie…a little nervous about tonight

SHIZNIT

Z’berg in.

NO!!

He as supposed to be out!

Really?

Thought pregame said he was out for sure?

That's what all the reports said

I guess they have a miracle worker on the training staff… or oversold the injury.

Wha..?

Oversold the injury? In the NHL?! I never heard of such a thing.

I say put him in the box 2 minutes for a pre-game dive.

A miracle worker… did the wings hire Anne Sullivan?

Source?

Jim Diamond @diamondhockey

Zetterberg’s lower-body is feeling so good he is going to start tonight.

pregame radio on 102.5 actually. Callahan knows ALL!

I have a fantastic view of the game, too!! Excellent!

….unfortunately the sound keeps going out, though.

At least you don't have to hear

RIGHT IN FRONT about 40 times.

Haha, true, I guess. The sound is back on though.

Well if they’d quit getting right in front, he’d quit saying it.

Okay, full screen mode.

later guys.

Let's Go Predators!
Clap Clap ClapClapClap!
LET'S DO THIS CRAP
Let's Go Preds!

So happy to watch the game from the comfort of my own home. No need to go to the sports bar tonight!

So far so good!!
Nice! Hit the Mule!

EVERYBODY HIT THE MULE!

i like the hustle!
Fantastic pressure, yea.
WHOOOOA that was a weird shot/bounce.
Whoa. Easy there with those bounces off the back glass!

lol that bounce off the boards could’ve been so bad

Pekka scooping the puck off the rebound

like a Short Stop…..I love him

Aaaaaand Leggy with the turnover trying to CARRY IT IN THE ZONE.

Sigh.

In his defense

he was at the end of a long shift

True. He could have just dumped it though.
don't worry

Leggy seems to wake up from his slumber when he plays the Wings

He's like an ent that way
Oh god. I hate the Ents.

Wait a second….!

I bet Poile had to take Leggy OUT of the deal to make it happen.

Thank you, Pekka
Bertuzzi

hate that guy

Ditto.

I can’t figure out how the HELL he’s so good at SO’s, either. Pisses me off.

Pekka looks sharp. Slammed his glove down on that puck.

wow…that would have been on erat

DON'T LET HIM WALK IN!

What were you guys DOING?!

Present!

Working late & dodging the boss. Love…ahemunscrupulous feeds.

Apparently

the Wings have outshot the Wings. That takes skill.

tht’s talent right there

So I hear we finally signed Vince Gill?

Is that right?

something like that.

Ha, he’s ‘The Key’

Speaking of which...

Weren’t there supposed to be Vince Gill bobble heads given away at a home game? Does anyone know when that will be??

Lookit Gabby hustle!
we have got to win these puck battles
Holy crap

Give the Wings a shotfest, why don’t you there?

Thought Borque had that one
Rinne's having a party down there

stop letting Rinne have a party. Let him get a bit bored for a while.

GABBY YOU HUSTLER YOU!!!

good hustle, gabby!

Klein

Takes the shot from the blue line every time now since he got that fluky goal…..like he’s saying “See! I’m offensive, I really am!”

It's the only way he can be offensive!

he’s offensive at times.

I forgot my bottle opener in the kitchen and I have a bottle in the living room with me :(

Preds need to score so I can go get my bottle opener.

this is a sad sad thing.

Right?!

Very sad.

get two bottle openers, keep one in the living room and the other in the kitchen.

I am smart!

Smart, muddy, fishy, and full of hot air. :P

you forgot old!

I didn’t want you to feel like I was picking on you.

too late. :P

Awwww…Here, have a cookie.

Put your teeth in first, though.

hahahaha I don’t liketh you.

how old do you think I am?

You do have a new baby, right?

yes

(does that make me younger?)

I dunno, I guess it just suggests a certain age limit (as in, you probably aren’t 70 years old. Haha…).

between 0 and 100!

since the woman does all the real work in the birthing process, no, it does not.

you must know my wife. ;)

she reminds you of that often, does she? Good for her. it hurts.

haha she had a c-section. :P

Still hurts. That’s (a) after some hours of labor, and (b) still abdominal surgery!

try seeing what happens passing a kidney stone. at least the baby is smooth

really? you’re going with kidney stone?

Baby >>> kidney stone.

yes, have YOU passed a kidney stone? :P

No but I’ve pushed two infants out my hoo-hoo.

I used to adjudicate disability claims. often the policies had a 0 day elimination period for injuries, as opposed to a 7 or 14 day period for illness. Maternity claims were always viewed as illness claims. I was reprimanded for insisting that any woman would disagree. :-) Ask any woman if she thought she was “sick” or “injured” after delivery!

at least 2000! You said so yourself! Carl Reiner used to interview The 2000 Year Old Man,(Mel Brooks), musta been your dad? HAHAHA! Oops, now you know I’m old enough to know that. (46 btw)

Don't keep a bottle opener on your keychain?

I don’t, and I really should.

Lollygag!

Everybody drink!

I'd really like Bertuzzi to just get jacked
I want Ellis to DESTROY him with an open ice hit.
i think Ellis would destroy himself if he tried that...
If he got low enough he could do it...

I flatted a HUGE dude in high school hockey once, and I’m only 5’4"… the guy HAD to have been at least 6’4".

I knew I knew you from somewhere!!!!

THAT

Is why we now have Gill. Kinda wish his gear had made it to The Joe so he could play tonight.

I hear that he’s there, but he wouldn’t have gotten there until late this afternoon.

Shoulda just lugged all his stuff onto the plane with him.

maybe the equipment manager didn’t have a size 84 jersey with them!

Ellis would bounce off of him.

Ellis can skate UNDER Gill! :-)
I thought

why would Dan Ellis be hitting anyone?

Fisher broke his stick

Who does he think he is, Shea Weber?

Joel Ward maybe?

That is Joel Ward’s specialty.

Lol

He should be “Simmons-ed”

saw that coming

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
That was some serious schooling there...
Get it back, boys.

Do it now.

a little less time in our zone would be a nice start

I would hope we can turn this around...

because a victory here tonight would be something akin to the Rebel Alliance blowing up the Death Star.

It’s really hard to keep track of who’s Darth Vader in the Central Division these days.

I think it's everyone but us. 3 Vaders.
It's always been Detroit.

I thought Trotz was. To Columbus. At least when Hitchcock was there. But he’s in St. Louis now, so maybe not.

Detroit can certainly be the Evil Empire.

Well, the goal posts are about 2 meters wide

Should be easier thatn shooting womp rats in Beggar’s Canyon back home.

you’d think.

HAHAHA

Well done!

Puck Possession time:

We ain’t got it

But damn do we need it

I have said for years we give up possession to easily. Too many passes to no one.

two breakaways

One shot one mishandled puck…

we need better movement off the puck. guys gotta get open.
Well...it could be worse....we could be down 2-0
SHHH.
Hey! How was your Boston trip? Any death threats at the game?

I would have asked sooner, but I haven’t been able to get on Otf lately bc of school.

Oh, well I live here, but yeah, no problems at ALL.

Everyone was AWESOME.

HA well there ya go.

Glad to hear you were safe!

Yeah, I definitely was.

I was sitting next to a Bruins fan, and he was awesome. Offered to take a picture for my roommate and I and everything.

So i just put two and two together

And realized that the NHL network is using the Detroit feed. First I thought why do the announcers seem so favorable towards Detroit, then I realized that I recognized the voice of the color guy.

Redmond? He’s easy to figure out who he is.

Biggest homers on the planet

Makes me so glad we have Crispy and Pete

I dunno...

Buffalo is pretty crappy.

Haha, that statement is true on so many levels

I think they might be some of THE most obnoxious commentators ever.

Crispy isn’t a homer? Ooooooooookay.

Hell no

actually he calls out the Preds all the time and he will call a bad call against the other team bad when its bad. He gets on my nerves sometimes…but I would never say he’s a homer

Redmond has been much better in the last few years. when he first started… holy sheep!

Freaking PK
ticky tack call

hard to prevent a hook like that.

That's what we need.

Fisticuffs. Lots and lots of fisticuffs.

What's the penalty for?? On who?

Hooking? Ellis?

That’s all I could see…

If it was hooking, then the refs suck bc there was a hook on Smithson earlier and the ref was right there but didn't call it....shocker
Couldnt help but notice but Smithson

in an earlier shift never let Homer out of his sight. 5 minutes later Spaling was admiring the Datsyuk show and let Holmstrom stroll right in.

PP upcoming :-)
Thank you.

Get in the box, Z-Pack.

fannnng finggggers
Interference on Zetterberg

Trying to pull a football-style block

Hella make-up call.

That was really weak.

Picks aren't allowed in hockey

Wasn’t intentional, but it happened anyway.

Stupid pass, Sutes
Cooking with Kevin Klein

I hope the segment is as good as the illiteration.

LOL make that alliteration.

I went a little herp derp there.

Is he cooking Crepes? Or maybe knishes? Klein is Jewish right.

Country Cooking in the Kitchen With Kevin Klein

Woulda been better.

Cooking with Rocket Fuel with the Human Rocket Ship

Would’ve been even better.

Cajun Catfish

On tonights Country Cooking in the Kitchen with Kevin Klein

We are a little out of control on the rush.
YOU ARE ON THE DAMNED POWER PLAY

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

good lord

Shoot it. Shots shots lits n lots a shots

Shots shots shotsshotsshots shots shots! E’ERBODY!

I'm liking this Yip fella
I agree!!! He was RIGHT where he was supposed to be!

We need SOMEONE to crowd the net like Horny did…
Aww…I miss Horny :(

What the heck could the ref be saying before the faceoff?

“Well my eye doctor says I need a stronger prescription, but I think I see just fine…”

“… donuts are wonderful….”

I'm jumping on the Yip-Wagon.

I like this guy.

Looks like they're building momentum

4 seconds before they go to the locker rooms.

Oooo-kay.

Go into the locker room, get your shit together, and come back screaming mad.

z

14-9 shots? Not terrible.

Agreed.

Not TERRIBLE. Not great, but not terrible.

Crispy is talking to Hal Gill
Wow, he has a very egg-shaped head.

I have no idea where to go with that.

Yeah lol I dunno. Just seemed necessary to comment on.

He also has a wandering left eye.
Ladies....

“Hey, hey, hey ladieeeeeeeeees!”

Beastie Boys

Decent road period – down by one, but there’s lots of time to go! Come on Preds – I want to see the Red Wings home record ended!

Us too!

Good to see you again!

Happy to be here! :)

in other news, Scott Gomez just SCORED.

Yes. A goal.

You lie!

nope.

Well, the world is scheduled to end this year.

just before the Lions were to win the Super Bowl!

STUPID MAYANS!

It would be the Lions luck

to be undefeated favorites to win the SB and then the world ends. No come to think of it, it would probably happen to the Cubs first :\

rats!

Or something hand-egg related.

i have a feeling we’re not gonna score. sorry guys…it’s in my gut

SHHHH!

It will happen.

SHHHit will happen?

I hope shit won’t happen… unless it’s good shit, and for us.

Please No!

Not a shutout.

It would be a shame for JoeyMac to get a SHUTOUT. I wouldn’t like to see a SHUTOUT. That’s just proof that the Dead Puck Era is returning.

that's just indigestion
Predators President's Day Sale Commercial

Probably the best thing I’ve seen so far tonight

I was about to say something like that’s nearly as bad a commercial as Eric the Elf.

No way we get shutout

by Joey MacDonald.

He doesn't have a great record against us, does he?
Klein Cooking!

Now I see what you guys were talking about.

Next Up:

Crispy’s crispy chicken and cherry crisps

Seems like a nice enough guy.

I feel bad about getting mad when he errs.

My feed took me to Hockey Night in Canada.

I have to listen to Don Cherry during the whole friggin’ intermission.

Aaaahahahahaha
Avert your eyes!
Retinas gone.
What IS he wearing, by the way??
I love how that commercial

Makes it sound like Roger Waters singehandedly tore down the Berlin Wall

You mean he didn't??

trotz calling out the third line haha
