Ok everyone, lets put St Louis and Chicago in the rear view mirror, the season starts tonight!

But before we do that lets remind ourselves (as he is not playing again tonight due to injury) what Horny did the last time we played Nashville



And just so we are not showing favoritism, here is what his fellow Swede did that night too.



Ok, that is enough looking back for now. We need to get the 2017/2018 season going.
It looks like the lines may be getting a little shuffle, this is what they ran in practice today



Today marks the return to Pittsburgh of Bonino, lets hope it is not a happy one

Get at them from the start and get our mo-jo back

Lets Go Pens!

 

[DegenX]

LGP!

 

[Ogrezilla]

Seasons starts today. Any mention of previous games should be met by as many of us replying with this gif as possible

Let's hope the team got the message

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Please don't get destroyed again.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Try to not be shit.

 

[farscape1]

Is this game at 7pm?

 

[ColePens]

Sully is 100% correct. All 5 guys are back and trailers are wide open. Very poor recognition of where players are. Even though that interview was from Game 1.

Hartnell is in the top 6 for Nashville?!?!? What in the flying hell?

 

[Coach Travis]

Prediction: 7-2 Preds #BabySteps

 

[ColePens]

Nashville should literally be all-in on Duchene. That is the perfect player for them. They also should get a defender from LV after trading one.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

I'm guessing 5-2 Predators. Please prove me wrong. LGP!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Nashville should literally be all-in on Duchene. That is the perfect player for them. They also should get a defender from LV after trading one.

They would be a tough team with a top 3 C of Johansen, Duchene, and Bonino.

But then again, they would also be very good with Turris as the 2C and apparently he's available now. That will probably throw a monkey wrench in Sakic's plans given that there's now another solid center available, but with less term so teams might be more willing to go after him as a rental.

 

[Shrimper]

So Bonino will score, right?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

So Bonino will score, right?

Hurt a Pen.

 

[TNT87]

Get that Listerine out to get rid of the bad taste of the last game. Lets Go Pens!

 

[KIRK]

Nashville should literally be all-in on Duchene. That is the perfect player for them. They also should get a defender from LV after trading one.

Gotta think Sakic would insist that one of Josi or Ellis would have to go the other way, no?

Oh i didn't hear that. Why? Because they cannot get a deal done?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

This'll either be another blowout loss or an absolute bore of a win.

Granted... I'd sure TAKE the latter.

 

[KIRK]

Is this game at 7pm?

vabm8 will advise the correct start time.

 

[HuskerTornado]

Hey, 7:07 and Nashville hasn't scored yet!

--Oh, puck hasn't dropped yet.

 

[KIRK]

Oh i didn't hear that. Why? Because they cannot get a deal done?

Yeah, me neither. I'd heard the assumption is they'll make him available around the deadline if the Sens are out of the hunt (or perhaps a bubble team, I suppose).

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Gotta think Sakic would insist that one of Josi or Ellis would have to go the other way, no?

And to have them added to. Contenders would be after Duchene and Sakic wants a return that would hurt that team.

 

[KIRK]

No Rinne

 

[Speaking Moistly]

vabm8 will advise the correct start time.

Yeah, later than it should be.

 

[KIRK]

Immediate coverage issue in the high slot.
