It'll be a steal if he becomes a 100+ point player.

I think he will

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I think he will

Hope so. Would be great for the US of A.

Granlund with 4 assists already tonight. Tied for 2nd in the league.

Granlund with 4 assists already tonight. Tied for 2nd in the league.

We waited long enough for him to get his #@$! together. And I'm still not convinced....

Nothing but love for Granlund. I don't regret that trade one bit, but that whole year had to be a nightmare for him.

Really hard to say he didn't have his #%^& together with us, had 3 very good seasons for the wild.

 

[MuckOG]

Just because he's finally finding success with the Preds, doesn't mean he would've seen the same production with the Wild.

 

[NHL1674]

Wow. Leafs kinda obliterated the Avs.

P.S. Kuemper is hurt....AGAIN.

There are an infinitesimal amount of times in my life that that will ever not be a good thing. F*** the Avs. Always.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Had a 5-way parlay Miss because Kuemper decided to not play last minute. Dang

In the top 5 of worst jerseys of all time?

I'd take that over the old reds and this year's winter classic jersey.

I'm no fan of the Wild's jerseys, but "Smash Ville"? Just corny. I know they aren't marketing these to old shits like me, but c'mon.

WTF did Ville Leino ever do to the Predators?

 

[Minnewildsota]

Those are f***ing disgusting

That is unfortunate.

Nashville has had that nickname for years now. They have had merchandise around it in years past too. It's local/team marketing, really not any different than the Wild and their use of the North Star colors for things. And really just about anything is better than the awful yellow jerseys NSH has.

 

[Uberdachen]

He didn’t boo Suter hard enough. Death by mustard-lubed snu snu.

Not going to mince words.

Holy shit that's hideous.

New Jersey fans have to be happy about that. Knocks them down to #2 for worst jersey this season.

My god that's repulsive.

They look like pajamas for a 12 year old.

Yeah, I'm aware of the nickname, just always thought it was cheesy and forced. Now if the Preds actually played a tougher style of hockey ala Broad Street Bullies, then Smash Ville would seem more appropriate. A name like that should be earned, not just granted because "Smash" rhymes with "Nash". And maybe I'm just over thinking it.

It doesn't fit this current team very well, but in past years they earned the name. They played a heavy/physical trap game that just would grind teams down.

Jersey's jersey's are perfect because they tell you they're jerseys. I would have been confused otherwise.

I've always had a soft spot for ugly jerseys, especially Nashville's. I'll have to consider this one for a while. It's awful and I think I love it.

 

[MK9]

At this rate, Fiala may never score again.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

No assists for Granlund tonight.

 

[Wild11MN]

No assists for Granlund tonight.

Cold streak.
