Let's go Predators!
Clap Clap ClapCLapClap!

meow

I have a friend who meows at me all the time.

He is a very strange person.

Is his name djzielin?

how do you pronounce that name!?

It is not, in fact. His name is Bob.

you pronounce djzielin as Bob.

I do, but I'm not that smart.

You do? That seems like an awful lot of unnecessary letters.

well, like I said, it’s Polish. We believe in useless letters.

Funny! Apparently believe in missing B’s and O’s too!

Ah yes we do. My family is Polish, haha.

I miss pierogies and golabki! :(

Kielbasa is my favorite.

I miss Polish kielbasa dogs and lots of mustard.

sigh

Helloooo?

goodbye? :P

I don’t know why you say goodby. I say hello.

(is this a song?)

I thought you said you were old....

:|

I am not THAT old.

neither am I, but I have taste, class, and a sense of style.

so do I. I am a pretty groovy guy actually.

...

It’s the Beatles.

Not a beatles fan.

How does this happen?
That's a fantastic question.

never liked their music? I was dropped as a baby?

Doesn't like the beatles, self described as groovy...

I think djzielin might be Barry Gibb

Totally rec'd!
I blame the schools

well now I just don’t know what to think. It’s no wonder our score is 43,979 to 3.

I keep thinking the score is changing behind my back.

If you're not old enough to know the Beatles, you're probably not old enough to use the interwebz
It's the BEATLES.

Dude.

GEEZUS I AM SORRY! DAMNATION!!!!

no one commented on my fanpost yet. I feel unloved.

I'm sorry

it’s ok. probably none of you remember what a tie looks like.

Fanpost? what fanpost?

Oh, I hadn't seen it.

I’ll check it out.

Go Preds!

Keep the Spaling streak alive!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... Streak Dyin' time's here.

No one will break the rules cause there are no rules

If the Preds end this streak

They will have a real shot of geting a mention on NHL.coms headlines.

hah
Lets not get all crazy an' shit

NHL.com would say “Red Wings come extremely close to keeping streak alive” with absolutely nothing about us breaking it.

“Wings get bored, decide to give losing a try”

The Preds could come out and shoot the wings with shotguns and not bet mentioned.

Though that would be awesome!

Now your asking for too much!

Are you kidding?

if they end this streak the headline will be, “Detroit loses to someone we never heard of.”

I rec’d you, even though you are mean to me.

No...

This is what it will say: “WINGS END STREAK!”

by themselves
Lidstrom scored on himself.
No, it will read "Detroit plays midseason exhibition".
SPALS TO THE WALL
COME ON HONEY BADGER.

Wake up, you lazy f**k.

O.o

I just want him to score a goal. It’s way overdue.

Fantastic pressure.

Keep that up.

Where did the puck go??
err

still wondering.

Niemi's pants.
Haha, that was so weird.

That was so funny when that puck disappeared in niemi’s goalie pants

Its why I don't wear them

YAY for those of us in the pants off crowd!

If any of US lose a puck, a quick glance at the faces in the room will tell EXACTLY who has it!

woot.

what’s with the pants off? I have to ask.

Better question:

What’s with the pants on??

haha I am workin here!

I heard it from Link. GDTs are BYOB and there’s a strict no-pants policy.

Ditto.

That’s what I heard too.

how strict is it?!

That depends. Do I have to look at everyone walking around in their underwear?

Are you talking about Depends or underwear there?

I don’t know. What are you talking about?

How do I know what I am talking about?!

I don’t know! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!

How should I know?!

….

I’m going over there now.

BRING FOOD!

HAHAHA

I KNEW you were gonna say that.

I am predictable?

No, just hungry.

All I want is Subway.

Since it's on the Internetz

my guess would be no

Then it is very strictly enforced.

ummm

underwear? As T P says… Cause I’m free… Free fallin’!

yeah

still wondering.

Lidstrom out with foot issues
Did Weber hit his skate?
Hmmmm

I missed it…anyone know what happened?

Did he block a shot or was it something else?

lidstrom went to the dressing room

Wilson line was out waaaay too long.
yeah, that was weird.
What happened to Lidstrom and Weber?

I was busy freaking out over Daniel not knowing the Beatles.

You mean Bob.

Yeah

trust me, I know the Beatles.

I know Bob, and you, sir, are no Bob.

I am also no Paul.

You are a Daniel, just not the one.

wha?

other daniel.

Daniel my brother

you are older than me… see how I tied that in! wow! :-)

Yeah, me too.

What did happen?

Too much time in our own end

Never a good thing

Agreed

time for pekka to get bored and lonely.

But Pekka likes parties at his net O_O

No more parties for Pekka! At least not until next game.

They will be getting a courtesy call soon, bank it
We might as well get our money's worth and knock Abdelkader's teeth out

I can’t figure out why i hate Abdelkader, but I really really do

His name is annoying

Kinda like

Colaiacovo or however the hell you spell it.

Why do people keep getting up in the middle of play??

Annoying.

Detroit

it happens.

that is the Detroit lower bowl “fans”

Suits and corporate folks. That is all there is down there… and they are QUIET

Inhuman amounts of beer will do that to you

They got word that the Sherriff is coming to their house. They need to get home before they are foreclosed on.

That's ok, they can buy another for like $1000.

I heard that you can buy a whole city block for a few grand. I gave it some serious thought even though I live no where near Detroit.

We must turn all this pressure into goals.

If not, we start to look like what we always look like. Extremely hard working, not enough skill.

Ok

getting this off my chest.

I like Yip

Woohoo!!! We're now +4 for the Yip-Wagon!!!
I wonder if Yip is what let us let Blake go.
I was in the midst of typing the

same thing.

add me to that list as well
I'll take a trip on the Yip-Wagon

Don’t you mean a tryip.

Well done.

Your chyippy comment opened up a whole new world of puns.

It was Creeping Death’s text that started it all! He’s the brilliant one!

Yip-Ness is what it is.

ANYONE here remember the funk hit that prompted that?

Yip-Wagon needs to have a photoshop.

You creative people with skill and talent and stuff get to work on that.

damn Colin

You have prettier hands than that!!!

Yip

Should I join the Yip bandwagon?

Everybody's doing it.
Break away. Aaannnd

We shoot it high.

that’s breakaway #3

We’re really awful at those.

Tootoo, take half a nano second and look where you are passing
Do you know what a nanosecond means in Nunavit?

Death by polar bear. That’s what.

Hahahahah

Or moose. My dad got chased by a moose in Alaska once. He said it was one of the scariest things he’d ever experienced.

I can imagine

Those things are massive

Rinne is a God!

All Hail Rinne

I'll let my signature line speak for me:

Octopus are native to Detroit.

Started saying that during the Playoffs last year.

Someone referred to Pekka as an octopus because it seemed like he had 8 arms

They call him the Giant Spaghetti Monster over at that blog we don’t mention.

the ones that think IT is legit?

which IT? I’m not quick enough on this one. Gimme another hint.

the s-word. Rhymes with weak.

Oh that IT. No this Blog-That-Shall-Not_Be_Named think Corey @#$% Perry is a misunderstood gentleman.

oh THAT place! hahahahahahaha it is the worst one of the TBoC

Line is gassed.

LEGGY – TAKE THE DAMN SHOT!

Both of then were totally gassed

no legs left for Leggy

It’s hard to keep your skates on when you don’t have legs.

Well, we have certainly blown 3 games worth of chances
HONEY BADGER YOU CAN'T MISS THAT PASS!!!
True. But he should have been grinding for a rebound
leggy!!!!!

Gerrrrr all you had to do was put it in front of hb!

But nice try willy

What if that empty net fail

ruined Smith permanently.

He’s scored on the PP a couple of times since then

If that’s enough to ruin him, he wouldn’t have lasted anyway.

Erat shoot the dam puck.

ha the boys want to take it into overtime

I think I'm on some kind of time delay

It’s weird reading reaction posts a minute or 2 before i see it happen. Need to fast-forward my DVR at the next commercial break.

A real magazine??

That's frickin' creepy.

it is Jimmy Carter. he is supposed to be creepy.

His brother Billy

now he is creepy

Ooooh, okay I see it now.

Right up there with that cat
I wonder how many times the Red Wings have won at home?

anybody know?

they must be mentioning IT a lot.

(Will not say the s-word, especially with shootouts helping them)

Only once or twice every 40 seconds.

a bazillion and one?
Haven't heard

I wish they would talk about it more often on NHL Network, ESPN, NHL.com, and any other remotely-sports-related website or television network.

24-2-1 at home this year
Fisher has some jump tonight.

Does Datsyuk average 60m of ice time?

no, it just seems like it.

It's time to bust that blackjack!
I don't know how they are all skating. Legs have to be rubber!

Weber, Weber, Weber

Aaaand turnover.

Holy crap. OUT. GET IT OUT.

This playoff season

is going to suck.

Is it??
Just the sheer amount of work

we have ahead of us.

Ah, yea that’s gonna suck. But that’s okay. GMDP will get us our forward, and we’ll be awesome.

no different than last year. i actually think we have a better team this year

NHL has the best postseason of all north American major sports.

TOTALLY agree.

even better than table tennis?

Well, let's not go crazy.

Mad table tennis skillz HERE!

Even better than dodgeball.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

@#$in’ Chuck Norris.

nobody makes me bleed my own blood… NOBODY!

Damn you, Bernice!

Yahoo Sports has us........front page

http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/nhl;_ylt=AkHq0HjaeOAXC055Fu71gQQhSAU6

Don't like that "Bust" part.
I do.

It means we are all in and anything short of the Cup is not acceptable.

The good thing here

if this goes to SO, we have a better shoot out goalie than anyone else has that Detroit has faced in the last 21 games.

Let's try not to give them a point

they have datsyuk…he’s a shootout king

so is Zoidberg.

hehe Zoidberg.

“I have performed a few mercy killings”

And once more, thank you Pekka
Whose up for a buzzer-beater type goal??

my heart can’t take that!

That's all we've got time for

if we don’t want this going into overtime

What about a Lin-Yip thang ?

Let’s do a kinda Lin/Yip thang

why the double post ???

sorry

THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!!

DAMMIT, SUTER!!!

I better warm up the defib.
I used mine twice already tonight
Can I bum a hit off that?
Come on boys!!!!!

f*ck.

Need a standing O right about now!
I'm standing and clapping!!

I am sitting and clapping!

(I am lazy tonight)

let's do this.
if ever

we needed a “googoo” goal, even if it is the 3rd

Win the face off! Please!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
You gotta be kidding me

i had a feeling

5 freakin sec!!!

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

ARE YOU SHITTING ME?????

DAMNIT, PEOPLE!!! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!?

For the record. All world Suter and Weber. -2

Seriously.

Smithson had a case there.

Ryan. Ryan what happened?
And that's what we still don't have after all these years. someone who can score we absolutely need one.

That’s WHEN we absolutely need one.

HSDFJKL;HGJKDFHGJK

The hell?

Offsides much?
Looked pretty offsides to me.
not at all

but the faceoff should have been outside the zone.

What do you mean not at all?

I backed it up twice, he was offsides.

Dats’ foot ahead of the puck?

His whole body was across the line.
No it wasn't.

Huh. I guess it wasn’t! I don’t have a DVR or anything, so I couldn’t rewind last night, so maybe I just saw a weird angle or something, but he’s definitely onsides. Thanks!

love your sig.

Nah, he was on. The puck was past the line before he crossed.
nononoononnoo

cheese and rice. WE’RE the ones who are supposed to score under 100 seconds to go.

They're playing the "Hands Go Up" song??

Seriously??

Viola took it with him too.

wow Bull Sh*t

no icing to begin with then face off in the o zone.

God, that sucked.
!!!!!!!

me too.

Not the birthday present I wanted. At all.

But gosh, Datsyuk is one player I would covet if starting a team. The way he turned out Suter

Happy birthday

And pretty please on Datsyuk.

Thanks, y’all. That’s why I was mostly away from here. But the family enjoyed watching me come over here to occasionally post. None of us were happy after that ending – all of us saw what was developing.

Well damn...

That was heartbreaking.

4 damn break aways we don’t score on….

Not enough skill in that dept. for sure.

Did putting 3 centers out have anything to do with that?
Not having someone willing to check him

instead of weakly fish for the puck

Suter getting faked out?

Maybe Sutes will b**** about getting worked by Datsyuk?
Someone just had to mention a last second goal...

a plane ticket from Russia?

that is crazy.

Wow

And the price for a top 6 forward for the Preds just went up.

Would that top 6 forward be able to score on a breakaway?

One can only hope.

or reply failt to here:

a plane ticket from Russia?

I don’t want Rads. I don’t trust him. But I wouldn’t refrain from cheering if he scored while in Predator gold.

i think he could score on a breakaway.

He’d be cherry picking like crazy now.

still, i will take goals any way they got them!

If he can hold of pouting and storming off to his room yelling “I hate you!” long enough to help this team get a Cup great. But if you think the Suter/Weber drama is annoying, just wait until Rads is unhappy. Or until he’s renegotiating a contract. Talk about holding the team hostage.

haha he needs to play just ONE game this season and he would hit RFA this offseason.

And he’d pull a Turris.

I’d be fine with one playoff run with a goal scorer.

I wouldn’t. I’m watching what happens the next year right now and it SUCKs something awful. I want to feel good about my team for a long time.

yes but he doesn’t cost anything.

you are watching horrid defense with the Lightning.

It’s also poor puck possession and poor depth scoring. Sound familiar?

Nashville has more goals on the season than Tampa Bay.

This is EXACTLY what I was talking about a few weeks ago.

I don’t want to be a one-hit wonder. I don’t want to be a Carolina. I want to be a Detroit.

on to St Louis

crap.

We play fine against them.

4-0-0.

that is IF we can best Dallas.

I hate Dallas.

I hope we run them into the ground.

Suter’s skates are still out on the ice. He was too embarrassed to go back and pick them up

Exactly

Bet he doesn’t whine after this one….

Dats

schools everyone.

True. But still.

True...

But when you call out your team mates you better not give up a play like that with 5 seconds left. Maybe he should just STFU.

Someone should make a poster of this and put it on the boards during the pregame skate for him to see.

Not sure about that. If we score on one of those breakaways it doesn't come down to that.

Nah, the Predators would just find a way to cough it up in ot or lose the shootout.

I agree that a great scorer could help the team, but even Steven Stamkos can’t score on demand.

he sure scores more on command than what we got!

And yet…11th in the East with a 25-26-6 record.

We’d be close to clinching the SE division if we were there.

The only Central division team that has fewer points than the leader of the Southeast is Columbus. All four of the others could clinch that division.

we need to move to the SE. Get away from those demons!

It’s really hard to move a whole city though. Definitely won’t fit in my car.

we need a bigger boat.

Second time tonight!

why was the faceoff not outside the zone?

And Suter-jeez…looked like me skating…

what a way to start off the morning, now I'm going to be grouchy all day
Suter

Maybe just shut the f*** up about now!

And the streak??? Over!
Still

12-0-1 at home!!!

wow nhl.com made that ththis game the head line ultra fast
*angry finger typeing
*more angry finger typing?

lol

I broke a nail!

Indeed

at least they just extended the record against us

Ugh, well I'm out.

Gonna go watch Criminal Minds and drink my beer. Night everyone.

need more cookies.

great show. Suter thinks he’s the Dr. Reed of the team.

Haha! I love Reed!!! He’s my favorite.

I'm Gone too

Would rather not think about this anymore

I'm back now, but yeah I needed some time to calm down and chill out.
Good move

I was pissed earlier. Still annoyed but not ranting.

I just couldn't deal with replying to everything on here.

Too annoyed and frustrated.

geez still two hours of work to go. now I am bored. HAHAHAHA!

Dammit, last 2 faceoffs shoulda been in neutral zone and no icing

All and all I think we out played the Wings just didn’t bury our breakaways. Forget ever catching the Wings now and fight for the 4th seed. Good game though

Still....

That last puck went out to the neutral zone. Unfortunately we forgot that the Datsyuk guy is pretty good…

didn’t it go into the bench? it matters where it was shot from.

And, as is a long time Predator tradition......

We make back up/called up goalie look like Patrick Roy.

So tired of that as well (though the team in front of the goalie helps out tremendously)

Every time

Amazed We even got a goal

Technically

We scored off of a hustle play from Toots and Spals, not even an a sustained offensive series, breakaway or odd man rush….

If only we had a Datsyuk...

but instead, we have a Leggy, Marty and and a Tits…

I would prefer 6,7
Suter/Weber -2

Maybe someone should call him out?

They play half the game.

3 Goats of the Game

1. Ryan Suter
2. Kevin Klein
3. Ryan Suter

Can we throw Smithson in there for flailing at the puck and man before the puck went back into the zone for the final goal.

okay can the Wings please suck for once?

They’ve had their turn, its getting old now

THEY'RE getting old now.

Seriously, when is their team going retire?!

I apologize to CBJ and MIN

Now I know exactly how you felt. Twice in the case of CBJ. sick

Datsyuk vs Rads

Someone needs to start a thing how datsyuk will always be better than Rads .. make him come over here and prove us all wrong

Daysyuk makes Rads look like a little girl!! (hope it works!!!)

Urban Legend!

and current prayer request!

Radulov?...

More like…Badulov

Badassulov, or just Badulov?
Rads would match up great against Datsyuk

’s jock strap…

In America..

You score goal. In Russia goal score you

now that the game is over, CA can bring me some Subway.

still not driving to Manchester. Still not putting on pants for that matter.

you can still drive to Manchester. LOL

ok I was kidding.

No O

Once again our pop gun offense sucks on the road!

How would you like to take a break from that fine lead-based paint… and learn about Dodgeball?

You’re in a Chinese opium den, Jimmy.

I was typing THAT!

The dread pirate Steve be in no man’s debt. I’ll make a barter with ya; true as the north star. In exchange for your kindness, I’ll be sharing me buried treasure with ya… once I find it, that be.

They don’t make a “sorry your dodgeball coach just got crushed by two tons of irony” Hallmark card.

I should have gone with: “there’s a guy on our team who dresses like a pirate?”

my second favorite team in the playoffs will be the #8 seed

I hope they upset the shit out of Detroit….be even funnier if it was the Yotes

I hope Anaheim keeps it up and knocks the beejeezus out Detroit.

come on

We’re trying to get bobby ryan, member?

Some good news at least:

Ads won 5-3 and Gophers won 3-0 with our guy, Budish as the #1 star in that game.
