Frist? Really?

or is my SBN faking me out again? Oh well LETS GO PREDATORS!

Frist!
HAHAHA!

DANG CLOSE!

Tampa stocking up on prospects and picks.
Tampa is possibly losing Ohlund.
Nashville has two highly sought-after Dmen.
oh dear god…..

also, hi.
hello

we’re not going into rebuild mode so i don’t see why we’d trade our best d men for a bunch of picks or prospects

just what i’m noticing today.
the price would be quite high on Weber and Suter, after all.

think we'd be more interested in the scoring department

take the picks and prospects, then trade them for offence.

HAHAHA

we have more than 2 that could be highly sought. :-)

gill is sought after by some

the pocket rocket is probably sought after too
josi probably has a few
the rest….meh

nobody wants Klein?

depends on how he is

right now i’d say some would go for him

I would love to see a Predators Multi Goal win Tonight
I would love

to see that every night.

So much agreement.

We should take a poll.

let's harpoon us an orca tonight
I heard Toots is pretty adept in that department
does he enjoy blubber?

I believe he prefers caribou, but…

caribou is supposed to be good
Yeah and Toots

eats it raw o_O

meh prefer mine run through a warm room
if it's a fresh kill

it’s still pretty warm

he loves seals.

Cue Davisca’s free willy!

Yeah, it was great timing on her part to work that one up!

found it

Gut the fishies!
Free Willy!!!

That timing was pretty excellent, wasn’t it? Lucky!

is there ever a bad time for a predators themed movie poster?
Not if I have anything to say about it

I just sent off my first batch to Puck Daddy for his contest this afternoon. Hopefully more to come.

Good on ya!
will be interesting to see how gill hangs with these fellas

if he does well it will do wonders for my confidence in him

I know he supposedly doesn't do this, but I would love to see him just unload on someone. Good, clean, check
Hope Hal(ibut) doesn't flounder

see what I did there! :-)

i do

YAY!

I used to hang out with the folks that make that show. Hey Nuks! Kiss my shiny metal ass!

thank you

for reminding me of the gamethread idea i forgot yesterday: the movie Shallow Hal.

Woooo Let's do this!!

Let’s Go Predators!

Fisher on the ice for warmups according to Cooper
cool

i think meuller was brought up incase a klein flu pandemic occurs

nothing against Mueller but i'd rather have the fish in
Considering how Klein played

after the Klein Flu, Mike Fisher should have a snowman tonight!

Was thinking that during the Rats game. Klein flu after effect is a GREAT 8-10 game run!

in that case every player needs to be systematically introduced to kleinflu
Fisher in

Hornqvist skating in practice but out tonight, possibly Thursday.

Holy Crap!! CBJ up 3-0 over SJ in the 1st
But it is the 1st

and it is the BJ’s.

the score will autocorrect

LMAO! CBJ up 3-0 in the first, but still manage to lose in a SHUTOUT!

they tend to shoot themselves in the foot

and when they don’t nature seems to find a way….even the time clocks conspire against them

4-0 now. Haaha they’ll still blow it somehow.

It’s CBJ. Don’t get TOO excited.

when was the last time they had a 3 goal lead?
last time i can remember is when they collapsed against us
it's actually 4-0 now
but i still have full faith in CBJs to screw it up
i don't know.... didn't they lose like 6-0 or 6-1 the last time against the sharks

i bet they’re on a mission tonight

A mission?

More like an audition

are they trying to sell us Umberger?

if their mission is to prove that they aren't the worst team in the nhl this year

they’re a little too late to start that one

I bet there will be more fireworks too in this one. there were a bunch in the last game

CBJ is ONLY 9 points behind #29 EDM.

that would just be amazing if they did

EDM has really fallen as of late

they can still end the season above the Oilers

I'm just checking in to say go Preds

What’s left of the Lightning are playing the Damn Dirty Ducks tonight.

And they’re p. o.‘d right now, I think. Anyway, I’m busy figuring out what’s what in Tampa. I’ll see y’all after the Tampa game is over.

K

Hi, bye!

lightning got a goal if that makes you feel better

And a power play goal at that.

Go get ’em, CA. the peeps will be here when u get back

Sellout?

Close to a sellout?

Anyone heard?

600+ tickets left yesterday. Haven’t heard an update today.

I just want it to be a Tuesday sellout so we can give a big F**k YOU to Hamhuis! When he left, everyone started coming to the games. Coincidence? I think not Danny-boy

I will give you permission to give him one, regardless.

Might sell out but my two will be empty. Being originally from L. A. I forgot to add anti-freeze to the water in my car and had to replace a freeze plug this evening. (yes, I’m a dumbass).

Eep.

Get on that!

fixed now.

was close last time i heard
sad Luongo

and this, too

how about this?

this one too

and there's this

Hahaha that's awesome
Seriously, though,

why isn’t this a thing?

that’s actually pretty good

Well..

..I edited it in, like, twenty seconds, but the point is, why aren’t we photoshopping Luongo into famous dramatic movie scenes more often?

Bobby Lou-zer!
i prefer bellyflop luongo

Lots of ’Nucks flop.

Let's Go Predators!
Clap Clap ClapClapClap!
I'm gonna try...

To use this sbnation app tonight. With this cute kid, I’m sure my participation in this GDT will be sparse, but I miss you guys. (and gals)

We miss you, too, but some things are more important (and they often come in small packages).

Glad to read that she enjoyed Preds’ practice!

Haha yeah she seemed to like it. Well, she didn’t hate it, at least. She was a good kid.

Tootoo needs to get that dog

Seriously…match made in heaven

If I had a yard I'd get that dog

What a beautiful husky!

LuvthePreds' idea, my execution

should be asking for poutine

Ooh, good point.

mmmmmm gravy fries w/ cheese curds

um… was guna say yuck, but now I want some. Where do folks eat that? I learned that fries with mayo was good, so what the hell?

we eat that up north here.

Afraid I don’t know. How far north do I have to go to get that? Above Mason-Dixon, or above the 49th? :-)

i know harvee's has them
(this is not the same as Hardee's)

Still can’t bring myself to call that place Hardees. Out West its Carl’s Jr.

yep and the burgers are also called by different names

above the 49th.

OK. Thank you. have to make my own I guess. Not TONIGHT though, GRILLING STEAKS! Yes, it’s warm enough to do so in Smashville tonight. :-)

mayo is good with fries so is vinegar

Once accidentally got some tartar sauce on fries; was good. Good bbq sauce is a nice option, too.

tartar sauce is good for dipping fries.
sometimes do that when having fish&chips.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

awesome

Superb!

Also...

…it’s not just hockey. They dive in Pokemon, too.

one of many available choices

On a roll!

The Sisters are even creepy in cartoons

another good one, and a reasonable size, to boot.

that one has circled around many times already.
the Pokemon one is new though.

This is great.

Never seen that one before!

I hadn’t, either. Apparently, we’re late to the game, but that doesn’t diminish it’s awesomeness.

might as well

Ok...

Does Crispy have Mardi gra beads on? Impressed or creeped out? I’m just not sure…

speaking of Mardi Gras

isn’t it just perfect that Burrows is playing his 500th NHL game in Nashville on Mardi Gras?

Just don't expect an ovation

not for that guy

i'm just hoping to keep him off the scoreboard

well, there are lots of Canucks fans at the game tonight, from what SNet was showing.

there normally are a bunch that make the migration down here

wouldn’t you? :-)

I can see 10-20

maybe…

I was just looking at some former Preds picks

Denis Arkipov is still around, playing for Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk. Shame that guy couldn’t give up cigarettes!

detroit picked up a defenseman today….maybe that would shut them up about getting suter or weber

Ha

they already think Suter is a done deal :\

Don't

count on it

If Suter or Weber go to Detroit

I will never for get them and hate them for the rest of their careers!

i'm thinking GMDP knows how bad of an idea it would be to send either one to detroit
Hmmm

Leggy , Bourque and HB O_O

Color me shocked

dang that's a fast line.

Nice job Hal

great hit

already making me proud

Ruh ro

Video trouble

NNNOOOOOOOOOO. technical difficulties!!! damn you!

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!?!?!?!
Big cheer for Hal - love it!
Ok what's with FSN tonight

Fix it…..NOW!

Somebody is standing on the cord!
WAHT IS HAPPENING
And I thought it was just my pirate feed
Nope haha.

I’m a pirate too, and mine went away.

Dwayne says hey hey hey

Somebody got their fookin' foot off the cable
already having problems clearing the zone....
Come back, game! Where are you?!
Hal Gill's check broke the cameras
Aaaaaaah....!

That’s what it was!

If Pete doesn't quit yelling "Right in Front", I'm gonna have to invest in some Depends.
scares the crap out of me everytime too

Probably smart. You can get packs of 200 at Costco.

who is scratched tonight?

hillen, ellis, mueller

call him up and scratch him… thats just rude

kleinflu is spreading need reserves

ha….he was just supposed to be an insurance in case fisher was still sick

in other words, all the double-Ls except the new guy…

Lines roulette wheel landed on double-L but Gill was exempt.

I googled “Alexander Burrows sucks” to see whether there were any images we need here, and two of the search results were Preds logos. : D

Burrows needs to have a party with Tootoo tonight

To celebrate his 500th game

Hello.

Technical Difficulties.

More???
Haha.. no

Not since the first few minutes of the game.

But I did mute the Sharks feed I’m watching!

Coincidently, they’ve gotten two goals since then to halve the Blue Jackets lead.

Stuck listening to the radio feed

boo technical difficulties

our defensive zone clearing issues are magnified times a zillion when we play the nucks
You mean

they are magnified when #8 and # 51 are a D pair

that number doesn't exist yet.
is that our favorite ref again?

the “I don’t know what is going on but i haven’t blown the whistle in a while” guy?
seems like it.

hey look, San Jose scored.

awesome

the score has begun to correct itself

Wow, didn't even see that Columbus was up that much!

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes, I guess.

scored again...lol
The world is correcting itself.
the SJS

spotted the CBJ’s a 4 goal lead just so they could make a game of it?

detroit is up on chicago…also good. and anaheim is losing to tampa

Well good to see that Fish is feeling better at least.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

STOP WITH THE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!

Now I have no sound. Awesome.

It's all good here now
I still have no noise...

radio’s on an ad, computer is playing the game. Go figure.

same here

listening to radio feed for audio

I don't even have video

my sources are usually superb but i got nothing tonight

I was able to find a couple… you can do it if you search the right stuff.

i will keep searching
...

Have you tried sitting in the “First Row”?

Don't forget

You have to be in Europe, not in front of the television.

Ah yes, Europe is definitely the place!

getting some good chances

50 ft rebound on that Weber blast!

First intermission in Tampa

How’re the boys in gold doing? anyone have a report on Gill yet?

He hit someone!

Other than that, too many technical difficulties for me to really tell-

just went on the powerplay. no score yet

better with Fish in there

That’s often been the case.

C’mon Preds, make ’em look silly!

Would LOVE to.

Early lead on the PP, please.
I would say fang fingers, but burrows might try to bite em.
if i was yip trying to block luongo's view and i saw shea go for a slapshot

i would literally just mess my pants

Yip got the heck outta the way on that Weber blast.

Learns quick!

Hahaha, Marty just jumped the f*** out of the way for Weber's shot.
luo isn't popping out rebounds like the pez dispenser he normally is
Someone just needs to grab the curls on back of his greased-back hair and yank backwards.
Josi, not a bad shot
where's the rebounds, Luongo?
Holy crap this feed is pissing me off tonight.
mine just went out too

Searching searching searching… finding nothing :(

same. might be a radio feed for me tonight
Oh no, Klein.

Put in Ellis.

kleiner just took one for the team again

Gilldoggy lookin good
I hate late-night munchies.
spicy crunchy melty grilled
I've got all kindsa stuff to choose from tonight

Gorgonzola fries, calamari, what does a man choose?

Whoa Klein!

lose a bet?

Kleiner

rocking the Mohawk!

Holy Kleinhawk

Nice hair

the Kleinhawk...nice
Any people with actual TVs having issues, or just computer people?
My TV has been fine since the original issue.

Very brief technical difficulties when they were first mentioned on the thread.

Aw man, I wanna see the Kleinhawk!
Did Klein lose a bet with Big Ern?
perhaps a call of duty contest
he should've dyed it green a-la Dennis Rodman.
Somebody is gonna stuff Luongo on one of those rebounds

My pick to click is Wilson

I went with Fisher.

me 2

safe bet.

Columbus got a 5th goal

Yay!

carter might end up with a hattrick
the sky is falling
Booo

They have 3 PP goals tonight.. ugh..

canucks fans….already calling us divers because of the penalty

where’s this?

on their facebook page…it’s this one fan that always thinks the preds dive

ah, i see.

i’ve had issues with him in the past because of trolling, but he’s mostly cool

it was a pretty blatant hook
Takes one to know one

I suppose..

my response to that

gotta use preview each time...sorry so many twins

That was a LOT of twins hahaha, I didn't notice all of them until just now!

Thought I’d captured the URL for the pot adn kettle and didn’t know why I wasn’t seeing it posted.

so in addition to the arbitrary tall goalies comment...

will we keep hearing about our tall defensemen?

my response to that

oops.... messing this up. trying one last time.
twinskies

creepy...
this...
Dayum

I’d go gay before I dated a woman that looked like that

Thanks, I wasn't planning on sleeping tonight anyway.

Yeah, that’s probably going to show up at about 3:00 tomorrow morning… :/

REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM…

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

Keep the kiddies away from the computer so they don’t see it.

Ok, gotta say it. That band is terrible.
The band director is an OtF member

KnightofNi222

so that's gotta count for something...
Ok, time for the preds to wake the hell up in the d-zone. Pekka is going to have night terrors if they continue this
No Pekka likes the action....smh

he says it’s like having a party

This is looking like a game in last years Western semi's
holding the stick much?

blue line fail by the nucks

TBL vs. Ducks

3-1 now

that’s excellent. also…detroit is still up on chicago

I can't decide who I want to win that.

Detroit, I guess, so Chicago can’t catch us. Plus, Detroit is WAY too far ahead of us by now anyway.

oh, i’m totally rooting for detroit

maybe there's a loophole where they can somehow both lose.

I want both to lose!!! suspensions all around…

Good solid physical play by Gill on Kesler. More of this
he definitely complements our young guns with his physical dominance

I am impressed so far.

Vancouver always gets those crazy bounces go their way
Holding the frakking stick call please?!
not sure what more has to be done to get that call
pekka scares me sometimes.
Does he need the leash again?

He’s scary good.

my god gill is slow

Big guy. Which has it’s advantages, too.

I think we’re also used to watching our batch of REALLY fast guys, so he might look even worse in comparison… but maybe not. I can’t see.

A bit of both, if Gill’s reputation is to be believed!

That's okay, we don't pay him to skate fast.

We pay him to push people away from the front of the net and knock them down.

Nothing wrong with that at all! He’s also apparently a useful mentor-type for young d-men.

And I’ve heard several times that he’s a really great guy.

He seems fantastic from what I can tell from the interviews and media stuff he’s done since his arrival… he seems like the kinda guy you just wanna sit back and have a beer with.

That’s always been my impression of him, not that I’ve followed his career that closely. I believe he was quite well-liked in Montreal!

Welcome Chunklets! Didn’t see that you were here!

Hello! I’m being a social butterfly this evening…

That’s always fun! Are you thread-hopping?

Yup – we’ve got a Battle of Alberta game coming up tonight, but I thought I’d listen to the first period of the Preds game beforehand (and I’ll be checking in later on as well, frequently if things go poorly in Calgary…)

ah, Alberta…..

Was that a nostalgic “ah,” or a bemused one? :)

(googles the word “bemused”…..)

more acknowledging that you are a fan of one of the Albertan teams.

Indeed, for my sins… :)

Bad turnover by HB?
careful careful, HB!!!

baaaaaad pass

baaaaad pass honey badger
Bad HB,

no biscuit.

Great..... I bet HB just got demoted to 4th line duties for the rest of the night
Smithson is being moved up to 1st line duties
Empty net?!

(Makes sense, but unexpected.)

offensive zone faceoff, AV decided to take the risk.

with only 2 seconds left, of course.

Yeah, like I said, makes sense. Just was unexpected.

there was only 2 seconds left

but it was still a shocker

They better fix this crap during the intermission.
the feed

or play in defensive zone?

Er, both I guess.

But I was referring specifically to the feed.

Ok. Regroup and attack in the 2nd period. We look out of sync.
And we've been really solid during the second period recently.
i didn't think we looked bad.
not bad... just out of sync.. passes not connecting, not noticing guys, etc.
our passing looked better than the pass couple of games.

only issue i saw was getting the puck out of the d-zone, but at least we were cutting off the shooting lanes.

we had a lot of chances.

they had sustained pressure.

exactly, I want more sustained pressure. Thanks for that

oops

said we. I try not to do that, I am not on the team. :)

I have no problem with WE.

We are NASHVILLE! We are PREDATORS! WE ARE THE 7TH MAN!

no fresh ice?

could get sloppy

I wanna TeamTootoo shirt

He would like for you to purchase one.

Where can I purchase one?

Just a sec…getting you a link.

I couldn’t find a link anywhere, but maybe I’m bad at googling.

He’s apparently focused on selling wristbands now. Found stuff about them having had shirts at the Tin Roof, but that was on a specific day.

Are you on Twitter? He answers fans a lot; I bet he’d reply if you asked where you could get one.

follow @teamtootoofund on twitter and ask Toots himself. He may even RT the answer.

Maybe go to the Tootoo radio show tomorrow at Blackstone. Thinking about going, but the sound SUCKS for those things. As bad as Patron Club postgame shows. Take a radio so you can hear what’s going on. Halibut will be there this week!

I'm sure glad we have that guy

Poile has been here 15 years now he’ll likely retire here.

I know.

Glad he’s here and staying here.

Hmm. Very interesting body language from DP.

I wasn’t watching. What did you notice?

Looked dead into the camera at the end of his comments about “making something happen at the deadline” . Gave a little nod of the head as if to say “stay tuned”.

NICE.

I just rewound my DVR to make sure I wasn’t imagining it. Nope. DP looking a little sly.

There was a quote yesterday, too (more direct): “Stay tuned this week.” When his contract extension was announced, I joked with my kids that he wanted to make sure we didn’t miss that announcement. : )

I never remember DP making noise like this. Usually all doom and gloom. Interesting.

sweet
I wonder if Burrows can go to any restaurant and order chicken fingers without getting a look from the server...
I bet the server would give him the finger if he did... and if the server wasn't afraid of losing it.
Feed still doesn't work.

Figures.

did u hunter?
WAIT A SECOND!

I have one!! Excellent. Much thanks to the Canucks GDT, haha.

They post them over there? Risky…

Yeah, someone did.

Tootoo has whiffed a bunch today

just today?? lol

he does have puck control issues

Carter with the hattie, Jackets up 6-2

that’s his second of the season

First was against us, yeah.

and we still beat em 6-5

bleh looks like jackets might actually win

doesn’t affect us at all…good for them

let them

it is against the sharks.

Klein has provided a lot of comedic fodder this season

Kleinflu, Kleinhawk…im probably forgetting a few others too.

Cool

Someone on Columbus just got a hat trick.

FML.

Inevitably, Jeff Carter.
Ah

I have the feed muted. It wasn’t going well and I wanted to hear the Preds game instead.

HOLY CRAP THANK GOD HE MISSED THAT
that was scawy

Seriously. There was even a little green bow on top of that one. Thank God…

PewPew
lol I laugh at this every time.

fang fingers….or in the words of nucks fans..“what a dive”!

Fang toes!
You are very talented.
Fish Face!!!

Fish Flu!!

FISSSSSSSSSSSSH!!!

haha i was just about to request that
First time I've legitimately been able to use it!
FISHYDOGGY

Also, Yip is REALLY growing on me. He’s AWESOME.

his drive for the puck grabs my attention
I think that went off of Yip in front first

Hot diggity dog!

Nice chance by Willy there.

Hot diggity dog!

Hot diggity dog!

the Kleinflu

i wants it.

INFECT EVERYONE!!!!

must do it right though

can’t afford to have the whole team out at once

Yea, we aren't playing the BJ's again.
if we were we could send the admirals to finish them

welcome back fishy!!

nuck trolls on the preds page….calling it a dive once again

wow there's no way that could've been a dive.
it will always be a dive if it's against them

Well if anyone would know a dive it would be them

after game 3 OT last year in the playoffs, I don't want to hear it
Eh, just ignore them.

I just got here- is Trotz trying some fancy new “you must stay within 10 feet of each other” offensive strategy?

Yippers did do a good job screening Lu

good call guys

LUUOOOOOONGGOOOOO1!!
YOU SUCK!

It’s all your fault!

(Remember how we’re to “Repeat until goalie cries?” In Luongo’s case, it’s a distinct possibility…)

PEKKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wooo peks making some big saves today
Our chants are loud!
Seriously

I think they put a mic in 303

And our goalies are tall, I have heard.

Not as tall as our D Man.

wonder how the ol’ Hammer feels about that…

yikes, not a good giveaway by Yip
Carter looking even juicier?

he really wants to impress ome other team, maybe SJ

would you want to be in columbus for that many years?
Crowd showing the love to Gill

giving Kesler the business…love it

As they should- he’s a beast.

I’m so glad we have another beast.

And MTL fans call him a Pylon

a M’F’in SOLID CONCRETE Pylon. I’ll take it

Re: MTL fans, I am disappoint.

Did you hear that they instantly started loudly applauding when Chara took a puck to the fact? I wouldn’t even applaud if that happened to Bertuzzi, or Burrows.

Hahahaha. Yussir.

Reference to Richard Lintner. Yikes!

lol, that guy never hit the net ever
2nd intermission in Tampa tuned in just in time to see the replay

One Fish Two Fish Gold Fish Woo Fish!

Well we get to see Gill on the PK.
PK

time to see what gill can do

that ref looks like erat
Pumped to see Gill!!

Wasn’t hoping for this, but I’m excited to see it.

much holding the stick, Ref?

you say hooking instead? GLASSES!!!!

What do you expect from

Tim “Keep your eyes peeled cause I’m gonna make a call that effects the outcome” Peel.

Maybe he needs to “peel” the duct tape off his eyes…

oh, Tim Peel again

I see, does he travel with Vancouver? He seems to screw up all the Pred games against the Nucks

He screws up every game he refs. It’s not personal in any way. He’s just Bad At His Job.

No performance-based bonus for sure.

that was a weak call, what the hell grabing the sick
I thought so too.

Boo.

work hard , beat the man and get a call against
Cleared by Gill.

His stick is taller than me.

Atta boy Smitty
come on leggy, shoot dat!
I'm LOVIN' this pressure!

loving the pressure!

wow....

loving the energy

I love Gabriel Bourque

I really do

he's kick his energy level from 10 to 20
He has been fantastic.

I LOVE his energy. That guy wants pucks like Honey Badgers want snakes.

that line is starting to gel

Leggy’s a strange choice for center, but i don’t know who else would go there. HB and Bourque have that same kind of puck hunger.

Fish has FOUR shots on goal.

Dang.

really wish we would just shoot on breakaways

instead of those cutesy passes that end up as turnovers

detroit/chicago tied

what’s with your guys picking on Hodgson?

I hadn't really noticed.

two straight penalties called on the Preds for interfering with him.

OH, I thought you meant commentators.

That wasn't tripping. No way.
accidental, but tripping
come on Cube....
haha Gill just planted Sedin
aggg.. Ok maybe it was tripping
hal gill dumps a sedin

then throws the puck out

TITS LISTENS TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
continue to yell at him
he seems to get some sort of sick kick from it
It is HILARIOUSLY awesome how much that seems to work.

Can’t do it all the time, but it totally works when it’s necessary!

told u to book it.
You did!!!

Nice call!

not that difficult.

jump jump
guess who set that up????

GILLLLLLLLLLLLL

WOOOOOO!!!

SHORTY FOR TITS

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!

SK74 from FISH!!!

And Gill

hahaha

i’m loving the guy already

AWESOME SAUCE!!!

TITS and FISH!!

And that's why being 6'7" is helpful
Apparently...

Fisher needs to get sick more often.

Nah. He has been doing great for a long time now.

Gill with the assist! He’s like Sully from Monsters, Inc. A lovable MONSTER!

look at that backhand saucer... man Fish

Fisher, Yip, GIll- I love all of our trades.

we didn’t trade for Yip ;)

yeh got him for half price

Same diff :P

“somewhat-recently-acquired players”?

I wish I could rec this 50 times
MOAR KLEINFLU!!

Pekka has been HUGE

Ladies...

Haven’t seen a “Our Pekka is bigger than your pekka” shirt for a while.

saw pic of a “Pekka head” jersey on twitter before the game

How have I never seen that before?

I’m so getting that

has been?

isn’t he always?

THAT'S A HUGE PEKKA!

I’m sad that we’re not there, but I have to get my son to school at 5:30 am. #dangthat’searly

WHY?!

Class trip. Looong bus ride to FL tomorrow.

Aaah… sounds like sooooo much fun.

Supposed to be mid-80s. I’m sure they’ll have a blast.

First point for Gill as a Pred?
think so but he's been great for us so far
You are correct, sir!
Good Lord that was SWEET!
haha love the chanting you suck with the band haha

Also, I love Hal Gill

Already paying dividends in just a few games.
+3 and 1 assit

throwing guys down left and right

doesn't have to hit them hard

just overpowers them and dumps them on the ice

That’s almost funnier.

Weber just knocked the goal off with Booth... awesome. Release the beast
Luuuuuuuu haha love it
i love being able to hear the crowd
Man, Fish is pulling the trigger tonight for reals....
he's been great that's for sure.
ahhhh ....SK

1 shot on goal…. 1 puck in goal

1 shot, that's all it takes!
Keepin' that shooting %age alive and well.
One Shot, One SKill....
Dontcha know

that SK lives to prove Dirk Hoag wrong :)

23.3% until that goal
if he doesn't take another shot will put it around 24.5
haha the answer we've been waiting for

Tits, why don’t you shoot more?

Awwww…loved that SK interview replay.

man willy was wide open

if spaling turned around

two power play goals so far. one on ours and one on theirs

  1. is really fast when he wants to be.

Kostitstyn. Apparently saying his number changes it to a list.

fricken bouncy puck

Springtime in Music City.

Well that sucked. NO MOAR.
Damn saw that one coming

Don’t take your foot off the gas!!!

sigh 2 guys falling down

Dale Weise?

is that his first goal?

nope
we're just known for being other players first
that's why i've asked

never heard of the guy.

this appears to be his 4th goal of the season, 8th point.

oh yeah, that happens all the time.

dang players falling down
Lots of people seem to be falling tonight.
Kesler specifically is having issues...

He just fell down, and he’s run into his own guys at least twice this game.

Monster Truck Show?

I think we played since then.

was Sat the Drake concert?

I liked our two goal lead much better

I agree, we need more.
leggy...terrible time to fall

Get it back Preds!

this has been a long period...
Hopefully they won't nap in the third period as a result

Worst period to nap in..

HAHA SIT DOWN BURROWS!
Hahhaha that was HILARIOUS.

He just dropped that mfer.

Can you hear Pete and Terry? Pete said that Burrows had angered the Beard, and that it was a foolish move.

Indeed.

No, I have the radio guys, but that’s REALLY funny!

Crispy was chirping Burrows big time
TWICE!!!

Dropped him after kessler pushed him into bench, too.

*burrows
mike wolfe

from American Pickers with siren.

Burrows is a puss! Won’t ACTUALLY fight! A-hole!

heheheh

it’s funny when players make each other sit down.

Hahaha that is great.
haha Kane was like OH NOES!!!!

i knew you guys would like making fun of Kaner.

GET 'IM WEBER!!!!!
Webs breaking Burrows!

Ferocity. I like it.

sit down burrows

Haha!!!!

Fear the WeBeard!!! you frickin little turtle

I like how Weber stood over him after that. Dominance

I hope he stood over him, looked down, and just said (in his scariest voice), “STAY.”

I think I saw a little yellow ice under Burrows

Understandably.

Like he does with Dug! Dug AINT a bitch though! :-)

That reference just made my day.

CONE OF SHAME!

Daaamn

Angry Weber is ANGRY.

that is worthy of an animated gif!
give him an instigator penalty!!!

Isn’t there a "Being a douchebag shithead " minor penalty. Pretty sure it’s called “Burrow-ing”

If it doesn’t exist yet, it should. Burrowing. That’s hilarious.

only a roughing call
Crispy!

“The best thing that Burrows did was fall down.”

Crispy chirping!

Haha, love it.

Man..

For a second I thought Weber was leaning in for the Mike Tyson ear removal. He looked angry enough for it.

That's our captain

Way to go Weber…when he hits…hit back harder

no no.. wake him up...
THAT WAS AN AWESOME PERIOD.
besides their goal :(
Yeah... that sucked.

But they were fantastic besides that.

Happy 500th, Burrows!
500th...?

Finger.

lol

i saw him trying to take a chomp when Weber tackled him

only thing I don’t like about that is Weber is off the ice two minutes… he is far more valuable than Burrows

Cue the GILL!!!!!!

its only 2 though, it was totally worth it

For sure, although Burrows should get 2 for embarrassment.

would've been even cooler if Kesler came to help out, and Weber plants him too.
No way Kesler comes out against Weber

he’s gotta remember what happened the last time he tried that

The washing of his hockey pants between periods.

Maybe he wears Depends, too.

exactly :)

they still aren’t clean

How much fun must Trotz be having? Let Web’s sit and you can perplex the other team with EITHER Gill or Ellis. SUPER size and skill, or SUPER speed and skill.

Ellis is scratched tonight :(

josi is still a good fit
He and Josi have been great.
Hello

Win plz?

Hello!

Would love to!

Giving it our best shot

hello

Canucks have good 3rd periods.

So do the Predators.

Amen.

It feels so strange saying that

Why? #1: Means I agree. #2: Literal translation: So let it be!

Oh, wait…you mean because strong thirds is a relatively new phenomenon?

Yes

we used to have to hang on by our toenails in the 3rd

4th in the NHL in goals for in the 3rd period.
3rd periods are what predators like best

…there’s a really terrible Predobear joke there.

AWWWW!

That is awful haha.

i was making a tigger reference

but i’m sure the predobear lurks back there too

He's always lurking.
waiting for you to turn you back to him
so is this guy

WAH that is creepy!
OMG

we haven’t seen that one before!!!!!!!!!!!

oh wow, Dr. Conrad worked on Coach Peterson

he’s my dad’s wife’s doctor, she’s paraplegic, and has had some spinal surgeries from him. apparently a hell of a doctor

WOW.

That’s awecome.

Just got home. Anybody need fresh ice? Or can we make it to the end of the third?

I don't know. We have good mojo right now
I'm okay, but I don't have an old computer.
So wish I could be there Saturday night to cheer for BP.
Huh.

So that’s what competent goaltending looks like.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
All the luck

and the nucks still could not win

LOL aw did you guys get stuck in the old thread??
