Radio broadcast on 102.5. Is there a tv broadcast? Or stream?

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

I believe, Andrew, that there are two games today.

Slacker.

I don't believe so. Maybe something can be found on Twitter but neither the Preds or Panthers websites have any viewing options that I saw.

Checked out the Panthers board and no one there seems to know either, so I guess not.

The rosters for the games:

I checked for info on Twitter this morning and saw a tweet that there was not a broadcast stream today. Someone may decide at the last minute to youtube a stream, but I am expecting radio only.

Ok, who else is having a hard time hearing Pete say "Weber in with a one-timer!"

I think I've been hearing it for so long that it hasn't registered in my brain as weird quite yet. I didn't really notice.

Darren McFarland continuing to suck at his job and pronouncing Anthony Richard the wrong way. I get that he's not a big name but I like nitpicking.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Though I'm not paying much attention to the broadcast, it really seems like an ugly split-squad, first preseason type of game... but it's nice just to have the sounds of Predators hockey going again!!

 

[NSH615]

They did say the 2 home games would be streamed on NashvillePredators.com but you have to be in the FSTN viewing area.

We'll just make this the preseason thread. Game tonight in Columbus!!

 

[King Weber]

lets hope this game goes better than our last years pre-season games against them. those were brutal. (7-1 and 5-2 losses)

no Seth in the lineup today for CBJ.

And look how the season turned out for them...Preseason gives very little prediction on how the season will go.

 

[Legionnaire11]

It's a warm up for vets, shake the rust off. It's also a time for coaches to evaluate prospects and fringe players, see how their decision making, positioning and such are at game speed. It's like an advanced scrimmage.

Every other likely top-4 defenseman is in, tho - JJ-Werenski, Murray-Savard. And the third pairing consists of two of the better prospects in the Jackets' system (Nutivaara-Siebenaler, both of whom were pretty good in Traverse City). So it looks like Blueline Testing Day today up here in Columbus.


EDIT:



No Joey either, so we can call it even.

WTF Liambias is still in the Org???

WTF Liambias is still in the Org???

He left and came back this year.

No Fiala

 

[Pred303]

No Fiala

not a bad thing, probably means they are letting fiala play with more of the 'big boys' saturday for the home opener.
