There was a poster, maybe JWHouk, who used to say Gill skated like an aircraft carrier and that his body moved in segments, his top half would start before his bottom half because he was so large. Always cracked me up.

I believe Mike Ribero snapped his leg blocking a shot from the point. Dallas vs Preds, April 2012, with thier net empty. Our last regular season game. 75, while hobbled and on one leg, finished his shift.

What the hell happened to JW anyway?

What the hell happened to JW anyway?

Not sure. I still see his wife pop up on FB every now and then. He may have kicked me to the curb there since I haven't seen him in a while even there.

 

[LCPreds]

One of the wheels is wobbling.

 

[Marty Party]

Why not stay on the PK all night boys.

 

[101st_fan]

Hellacious execution on that PP by the Canucks. Stupid minors keep costing this team yet they keep committing them.

Carrier is good but plays reallllllllly stupid sometimes

 

[101st_fan]

Mace and Baseball Willy trying to dissect the penalty as though it matters if it was high stick, interference, cross check, or just stupid.

 

[hockey diva]

The level of ineptitude is pretty astonishing.

 

[bdub24]

The young guns need to get their swagger back

 

[Marty Party]

Game

 

[Marty Party]

The Avs game man...we shot our wad.

 

[bdub24]

Well that was a brain fart by Rittich

 

[sparkle twin]

Welp, that feels like that's game. Can't buy a goal and now we need two.

 

[hido]

Slumping. Bound to happen at some point. Let’s get it back going on Thursday.

 

[101st_fan]

The past couple of games are making a case demonstrating the need for an effective second defensive pairing. Benning is a 3rd pairing defender especially when the options are Harpur or Davies out there with him.

 

[sparkle twin]

Come on Preds, get one here and we still have a chance!

 

[AlwaysPreds]

Agree but I'd say the 2nd pairing we need is just Ekholm and Fabbro returning.

That's where I'm at. There was an article on some site earlier saying the Preds need defensive depth... But come on, how many teams are going to lose their #2 and #3 defenseman and not have a noticeable dropoff in on-ice performance?

 

[AlwaysPreds]

So I've noticed this but don't understand - why do y'all think they've put Tolvanen on the point on the PP rather than the half boards?

 

[Mass]

Love when a slash on hands/stick makes them lose control of their feet

 

[OldFan]

It is apparent that Preds really miss Ekholm. The next man up thing didn’t work for him. They go pretty good with the 3 pairs but they really need to figure out the 7/8. It ain’t nobody I’ve seen yet.
