This is certainly better than the GDT I came here to post.

Win and stuff.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Repeat of last game please.

Go Preds!!!!

 

[WartracePred]

Sydney Frosties... Awesome stuff. Don't miss Cooper AT ALL.

 

[kypredsfan]

Another team with lots of potential. We need to play our A game.

 

[Drake744]

Hutton looks like he's on acid or something that makes your eyes open wide permanently.

 

[mikemcburn]

This is too funny -

 

[Pred303]

Sydney Frosties... Awesome stuff. Don't miss Cooper AT ALL.

man i had forgotten this wartrace.

cooper thinking the crowd was chanting Crosby instead of frosties was one of the stupidest things ever written about the preds. from that point on the guy was a laughing stock to me.

 

[Adz]

Okay, boys. Start strong, finish stronger. Every minute, every second you give it your all and good things will happen.

2 points. No injuries.

Go Preds!

 

[Phototropic]

This is too funny -

Bartley actually played forward one game last year I think it was. Really cool. I remember him laying some hits.

Big game again tonight! Keep the momentum rolling.

No pie yet???

 

[twig]

Play hard or get beat.

 

[kypredsfan]

Well I decided to sit this one out and miss my first home game of the year. Just not feeling going solo tonight. I hope to be cheering loud on my couch though.

 

[mikemcburn]

Well, apparently Nashville was the clincher, that camel back/straw thingy, for Anaheim, causing line shuffles for the Ducks' game tonight including Kesler the Preds Killer shifted down to the 3rd.

Doesn't bode well for Malkin's future...

 

[INDhockeyfan]

Looks like Jarnkrok is sick and they recalled Arvidsson to play tonight.

 

[mikemcburn]

Looks like Jarnkrok is sick and they recalled Arvidsson to play tonight.

Yup

 

[mikemcburn]

Hope Arvidsson doesn't have whiplash.

Also hoping Bourque could just be swapped out for Watson. Only cuz Bourque hasn't actually *done* anything for the 3rd's offense and people around here have talked up Watson so much I'm convinced to hope in the kid.

I agree. I've never been a Bourque fan.

 

[mikemcburn]

I agree. I've never been a Bourque fan.

Yup. Also, pretty sure Watson's goal was a result of a shift he and Hodgson got together? As I recall, they were both hard at the net, Watson got the puck to squirt out and if the opposition d hadn't swatted it in himself, it'd have been Hodgson's 1st. As it was Watson got it unassisted.

Not saying that's indicative of what they *could* do if given some regular ice together, but it's clearly not out of the realm of possibility to imagine that Watson may be a better offensive fit than Bourque.

 

[Cashville]

Let's go Perds! Just tuned in.

 

[Soundgarden]

Five for that?

 

[Cashville]

Damn, bit surprised by the major

 

[INDhockeyfan]

Huge PK here on the 5 min major

 

[Cashville]

God I love Smitty; great hustle. Letang is pretty damn mobile and he had a "oh ****, must get back faster" moment.
