Pred fans are blaming it on the refs. The refs were terrible for us.

 

[Fel 96]

No, Chris ****ing Lee is terrible. Period.

I saw that. I don't get that at all.

Geesus, if anything the refs were trying to help them out...

A couple nice no-calls and that phantom call on Suter.

 

[Emilie]

So what? If Hackett gets hurt, we only have Backs. That's a risk taken every game.
Backs is better and is coming off of a W. He should get the start.

Backstrom is more likely to get hurt playing back to backs with little rest time plus travel. Hackett wouldn't have that problem.

NHL goalies should be able to play back to backs occasionally and be fine. Backs will be fine.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

I'm hoping Hacket goes actually. I feel like he steps up in these situations. I also feel a goalie with more mobility like Hacket fares better against the Canucks.

I have nightmares of the Sedins picking us apart on the PP and finding a wide open man for a tap in backdoor goal.

Nashville isn't in South America. He will be home and in bed probably the same time he would have been if they were playing at the X.

Backstrom is more likely to get hurt playing back to backs with little rest time plus travel. Hackett wouldn't have that problem.

My god he is a professional athlete he can play 2 games in a row, If Suter can play 30 minutes a night Backstrom can play a back to back

Was it me or did it seem the Predators players feed of their crowds negativity and goon it up a little extra for this game? I don't remember the two games at the X being nearly as confrontational as this one was.

It wasn't just you, the players were certainly into the booing and you could just tell they were open for confrontations and such. I felt bad energy with most Preds players tonight.

I felt sorry for Suter. I just think he's too good of a guy to have to take that stupid crap that was dealt up. Oh well, it's over now, he assisted, and we won! Good outcome all around.

 

[Fel 96]

Besides signs by a dozen fans with things like, “Nashville’s a great place to raise a family, too,” and some less nicer things, some fans held up pictures of “Robin” – as in Robin to Zach Parise’s Batman.

Zenon Konopka found that hilarious and got Suter laughing in warmups, and that was a good thing. It calmed a very nervous Suter down.

Good article.

 

[Fel 96]

Yes, yes it really is especially when you missed the first 2 periods as well.

Yes, outstanding article.

RE: Backstrom or Hackett tomorrow

We’re getting Yeo at 5 p.m. Sunday, so I’m not certain I’ll know if Backstrom gets the nod vs. the Canucks or if Matt Hackett starts. Remember, the Wild gets in late and lose an hour with daylight savings. With so many key games coming up, the Wild may choose to rest him.

RE: Backstrom or Hackett tomorrow

Backstrom should tell Yeo "Im starting tomorrow"

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

Backstrom should tell Yeo "Im staring tomorrow"

Staring at what though? The puck I hope...

 

[kfan22]

[NHL1674]

My gosh....the explanations for not having a Suter tribute in one of the threads on the main board is comical. You wouldn't be so upset if Suter wasn't important to the team and played a role in the community.

At the end of the day, their fans got to boo. Hope they feel better. Suter and crew got 2 points. They win.

Predator fans after the game:

Wild fans after the game:

 

[GopherState]

Caught everything from the trapezoid violation on. Only the second time I can remember that penalty being called.

So were Nashville fans saying Soo-ter? I was saying Soo-ter.

Singular Pred fan. Not all of them. Just one.

 

[Zaktar]

Good game, didn't get to watch it 'till well after it was finished. Not terribly offensively engaging, but still exciting I thought. I always get a kick out of teams booing the players on this team (it feels like progress to me, going from "who cares about them" to "I hate those guys!(or guy in this case)"). I hope Hackett gets the start tomorrow, just so that he knows that this is his beginning of his 2013 trial period. Mostly I'm excited to see his play in the NHL this year after how he performed last year.
