If you look at the jerseys it looks like Josi and Neal are alternates

Just a friendly reminder...if you are going to wear a shirt calling someone a "D*****", you should make sure you yourself are not one.
A guy behind me at the 1st Saturday game was wearing that shirt. It was a boston shirt calling a prominent nhl player a d*****. He and his wife were cheering for the Preds though. His voice was like, if you take a balloon and hold the end and let the air squeak out. And I think she really thought she was a coach. They were not originally from here and enjoyed telling everyone where they have lived and watched hockey, loudly.
Sampling of the things I heard:
crowd: Thanks Paul!
someone with them: What are they saying
GUY: When he says 1 minute left they say "THAT'S ALL".
During the shootout Derek Roy is announced as a shooter, correctly as "Roy", not "Wah".
Guy: They can't even pronounce their own players name right!!
Guy: "See that Bourque? That's Ray's son. And Forsberg is Peter's son. I don't know how they keep getting these guys here." And he was serious, too.
He also said something about how Tennesseans talk and got that wrong, too.
Wife: Why didn't he pass it, he just turned it over! (The player's stick broke, he couldn't play the puck with a broken stick)
CoachWife: Skate!!!! Pass it to the wing! Back to the center!!! Get to the net!!! SKATE!!! Make a line change! Watch the backdoor! Rotate!! SKATE! Great self-sacrifice (when Bartley blocked a pass on a 2on1)!!! Work the cycle!!
I think the wife is a Wings fan because at one point she started name dropping Red Wings players names.

Awesome.hello to any old friends that still are regulars here, been a long time. looking forward to a new direction, new faces, new concepts. will try to post a little this year.
These are the things we should do best with our current group.heya trig, good to see you again.
watching these first few home games, i've been trying to identify specific changes to our 'system' under lavy. have noticed a few things we are doing differently.
1)our third man 'high' on defense is positioned about one or two strides higher in the slot than before.
2)obviously dmen are being encouraged to carry the puck in more instead of dumping when our forwards change.
3)weak side dmen are moving lower by design a couple strides inside the blueline.
4)forecheck being encouraged to be far more aggressive.
5)breakouts schemes have been added
6)forwards are positioned higher along halfboards on defense.
7)forwards are releasing off halfboards toward redline much quicker, looking for longer breakout passes.
the typical things one sees from a more offensive oriented system, just some of the things i've noted.
if nothing else, it should be more exciting.

Trotz cutting Ovechkin's pp time.
Soon they will learn to hate the rolling 4 lines that has frustrated us for years.
Why would you cut the best pp scorers ice time. Why?
He may be the best PP forward out there, but he's also one of the worst at even strength. I think this is being done in an effort to improve his 5v5 play
Hey, how many more days until the Preds regular season starts?
So glad to see you back. I'm never around really so it's good to catch this post.heya trig, good to see you again.

fully agreed... I don't get it either. At all. That's like putting Smithson on the PP to try and get him to be more aware offensively. Um... ok?This is nonsensical.
Best PP scorer in the league.
Bench him on the PP.
Reason:
Improve his non-PP style of play.
I get the punitive nature of the decision, but IMO, this is non-sensical.
