Third times the charm right?? Right???

Oh WAIT this ones against RV?? NOPE not ready

Arvi still in his Preds sweater in that points graphic. Feeling some double agent action tonight.

Arvy cardboard cutout in the ingame auction tonight.

 

[Tysonson3]

Arvy is just gonna end up lighting us up for a hat trick isn’t he

 

[Kebs]

Arvy is just gonna end up lighting us up for a hat trick isn’t he

He's going to try and break Peter the Great's points record in the arena and then "accidently" fire a slapshot high into the GM box.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Apparently it's not only Arvy's return, it's also Cal Peterson's birthday. A double dose of hockey voodoo working against the Preds tonight.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Arvy with the shorty tonight. Calling it now.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

7-2 Kings, Arvy with 2 hat tricks, Cousins an own goal. Forum falls into complete chaos.

 

[bdub24]

If not now, when?

Complete chaos might be an improvement.

Over/under on the number of "Fire Poile" threads/posts from former Pred fa...Arvy fans...if we lose and he scores tonight?

 

[Jonesey]

Cue the tears. My littlest will be in her Arvidsson jersey that she still hasn't quite grown into.

Arvy probably hasn't either.

I'll go on record to reiterate what I said after the trade. I hope Arvidsson finds incredible success in LA, just not against the Preds. He's still a good player, he just wasn't an effective fit with the Preds any longer. If he's able to rebound in a different environment, good for him. Same goes for Ellis and pretty much every ex-Pred over the years.

 

[AnalogKid]

First game of the year for us, showing empty handed and seeing what the box office God's grant us with a newbie in tow!

 

[nine_inch_fang]

Four point night for Arviddson tonight then he only manages 2-3 points in the next 10-15 games.

 

[Osprey]

Third times the charm right?? Right???

 

[Marty Party]

I agree with everyone here. Arvy will get the hatty and one of the goals will be short handed. He'll salute after each goal as well.

Perds 2
Kings 5

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

And we'll still somehow lose out on the 1st overall pick and be left with a highly-touted defenseman as BPA at #2. Preds hockey baby!

 

[ILikeItILoveIt]

Tonight's a huge game. Win and we forget the two losses. Lose, and we're no longer a playoff contender (not true but that's what it will feel like) Lose with a big Arvy game and we're in big trouble. Given the circumstances (winless and playing a winnable game at home), we have to find a way.

 

[Legionnaire11]

I didn't see the pregame, is Myers hurt?

 

[PredsV82]

If we lose I will take solace in the fact that the boards will be down for a day or so...

Myers is scratched
