Preds Orientation (for Habs fans)

[jwhouk]

Another quick thing you might see in the GDT's:

"Hit somebody! Hit anybody! Hit EVERYBODY!" is a Section 303 chant. Sometimes we use it in meme fashion (see the trade thread for an example).

Hey everyone! Figured this would be a good spot for my first post, I just joined but i have been a long time pred fan (bought my first pred hat in 2005). I have been going to every predator game here in Calgary since I moved in 2012. I hope to be a regular poster on here.

You guys all seem like a good bunch of fans!

Welcome P.K fans and GO PREDS!

nice to have you sask!

I hope you'll appreciate Subban, he's probably the missing piece for your team to get all the way. He's simply a beast in the playoffs.

Cheers

So, you ask, what's this about me being the stathead around here?

Well, lemme show ya some stuff:

• The Predators have faced Les Habitants 20 times since 1998; in that time they are 9-5-6 (1 tie, 4 OTL, 1 SOL).
• In the extra session, Nashville is 1-4-4 in overtime, and 2-1 in the shootout.
• Nashville is a +7 against Montreal, with 57 goals scored and 48 allowed on 661 shots and 558 allowed.
• Preds are 16-of-68 on the power play, while the Canadiens are 14-65 on their PP against Nashville.
• Penalties: 187 for Nashville, 220 for Montreal.
• Nashville has scored four shorties against the Habs; Montreal has yet to score one against the Preds.
• Both the Preds and Habs have had 10 shootout attempts each in those 3 shootouts, with Nashville having a 4-3 shootout goal edge.
• After 20 minutes, Nashville has led 8 times, Montreal 8, and the other four were ties.
• After 40 minutes, Nashville still led eight times, but the Habs had 7 leads, with five ties.
• In terms of per-game attendance, the Preds/Habs games have averaged 18,329 per game - second only to Preds/Wings in per-game attendance.
• At the Bridge, Montreal is the eighth-highest draw at 16,128 per game.
• Andrew Brunette was the first Predator player to score a goal against the Habs, on 12 December 1998 at the then GEC. At 9:25 of the second, he registered a power-play tally on Jeff Hackett, assisted by Cliff Ronning and Drake Berehowsky. The goal tied the game at 1-1, en route to a 2-2 tie.
• The Preds player with the most goals scored against the Habs is... Shea Weber. He has scored five times against Montreal:
  1. 22 Feb 2007, against Halak (6-5 SOL)
  2. 12 Nov 2011, against Budaj (2-1 OTL; his 90th in the NHL)
  3. 19 Oct 2013, against Price (2-1 Win)
  4. 21 Dec 2013, against Price (4-3 OTL)
  5. 21 Dec 2015, against Tokarski (5-1 Win)

Checked the online Preds store, these are not on their site. Only available in person at the store or can they be ordered online?

I have never understood why the online store doesn't have the same items as the arena store- makes no sense. Online store selection is always lacking.......

 

[JLP]

Want a PK t-shirt when we can order online! Looking forward to an exciting season.

Online store = NHL.com
ProShop = Team owned store

Want a PK t-shirt when we can order online! Looking forward to an exciting season.

I'd call the Pro-shop and see if they can ship it to you from there.

For more information, call the pro shop at (615) 770-2402 or on Twitter @PredsProShop.

One more piece of info:

You may see some of us older posters refer to a "Cold Chickory." This is a remnant of the old Predators message boards of a gentleman who was very, VERY ornery about the Preds, to the point of out and out pessimism. There are times when someone posts something incredibly outlandish against the team on here, the words "ColdChickory" are thrown around. It's not confirmed that he ever did post over here, but we have suspicions.

 

[triggrman]

He did post here for a minute.

Wow, going old school with that one...I had quite forgotten about him...good times.

 

[jwhouk]

You want old school? I can give you old school:

Farmington.

 

[PredsV82]

You're only truly old school if you knew Swampy.

(and yes, at one point I was the keeper of the Troll Gun)

 

[jwhouk]

Well, it's only fitting.

Good thing we don't need it here, since Viqsui and company moderate so well.

Farmington Hills... I think that's one for Trigg to discuss, since (I believe) he was in the middle of it all.

 

[triggrman]

Swampy was a good dude.


Farmington was from the other boards. We had that poor girl caughtcaught in so many lies

Swampy was a comedian without trying he would say things to me without intent and I would be rolling in the slide. I sat with him a few times. Miss that dude. FYI I was once known as "Maconcopred"

 

[jwhouk]

Swamprat, for those just joining us, was a hockey-loving redneck who was famed for his goal-light helmet that he set off after Preds goals. He and Gnashlady were a wonderful pair, and are missed daily - even by our mascot (to whom they were both close).

 

[Drake744]

I was gonna walk down to the Arena and grab my Subban shirt but my boss is taking a half day so I don't have time. DAMMIT!

 

[BigFatCat999]

I joined the old boards after he died. Not a great trade.

I remember seeing him around the Arena in the early days. I was only 13 when the team started so I wasn't on message boards until 07 or so when I got older and certainly never met him in person because I was basically a kid but the goal-light helmet was one of the first things that ever stuck out to me as a kid going to games.

Swampy was great! He loved his wife, his dogs, hockey, and the Iditarod. He told me one time he and his many dogs would sit together in the living room and watch the Iditarod. He may have been pulling my leg but I really couldn't doubt that he would do so. He lived way out in the country (very near my in laws, as a matter of fact) and his tales of how he used aluminum foil for TV and radio reception were epic. I met up with him and JW one time--I want to say it was during the 2003 draft, but not sure that was the event.

 

[Drake744]

Correction, I actually did go down to the Pro Shop this afternoon and get my PK shirt. It's glorious.

There was also a lady just standing around in front of the arena with her friend and she was wearing a dress.....with a Subban jersey over it.

Nice. IMO PK will spark the city of Nashville, Preds will trend big time.

Happy to be here because Habs woes had me sour...



and frankly Ribs > DD

I was on the DTW to BNA flight two days ago and saw a guy wearing a new Weber habs shirt and his carry on was a bag from the Canadians pro shop of what I assume is more Weber gear.
