Post-Game Talk: Colorado @ Nashville 7:00

[AtlantaWhaler]

AVALANCHE (44-21-6) at PREDATORS (31-31-10)

TV: ALT, FS-TN

Last 10: Colorado 5-4-1; Nashville 5-5-0

Season series: This is the fourth and final game between the Colorado Avalanche and the Nashville Predators. Colorado has won two of the three, all of which were close contests, including a 5-4 Avalanche victory Jan. 18, the last time the teams played.

Big story: The Avalanche, who will play seven of their final 11 games away from home, have not played since Friday and hope the extra rest helps them end a three-game losing streak. The Predators, who have lost five straight at Bridgestone Arena, seek their sixth win in their past eight games overall.

Leave Forsberg in over Clune and those lines are starting to look respectable...

 

[Juneemoon]

Are y'all even sure that Seth Jones isn't playing?

Concussion like symptoms and he's not at morning skate, ya he's not playing.

Also no sign of Forsberg at practice, sounds like he was just an emergency call up for Hornqvist and is heading back to AHL. (Nothing offical yet thou)

This is what I am seeing on the multiple injury listings on various sites.

Seth Jones D 03/25/2014 is expected to miss Tuesday's game against Colorado

Reports are that Trotz told the media that both Gaustad and Jones are out Thursday as well.

 

[Cashville]

Go Perds! We can't really improve our draft position that much by tanking and I enjoy winning.

 

[gratefulpred]

Getting ready to pile into the car for the roadie to Smashville! Hopefully we drive back with smiles on our faces.

Go Preds!

here comes the eternal optimist....with the team on the death bed......

Trail last playoff spot by 8 points. One game head to head. They lost Mike Smith. 5 behind Dallas...we have 2 h2h with them. have Minnesota last day of season, they should have 7th locked up and not want to risk some guys. Same situation with Chicago. Stranger things have happened. Of course we need to damn near win out in regulation.

Yep, think I'll ride my unicorn to the game tonight.


J/K - I would actually like to see them end the season on a high note.....

 

[GeauxPreds]

Time to get clobbered by a straight up better team. Hopefully Jarnkrok looks good, no one gets injured, and the sens and canes can do us some favors tonight by winning.

 

[Adz]

I'll be there--looking forward to seeing Jarnkrok. Let's go Preds! Pull off a miracle!

I'm not holding my breath. Ha ha!

 

[kypredsfan]

Just wanting to see Jarnkrok get more TOI and prove he belongs.

 

[jwhouk]

Josi took Smitty's shot and buried it.
