Looking forward to getting a closer look at this Mazanec kid. He's looked good so far.

Team 1040 said this morning that Weber is out due to taking a puck to the face last game

 

[Cogburn]

No Rinne? No Weber?

8-0 Nashville.

Team 1040 said this morning that Weber is out due to taking a puck to the face last game

The puck hit near Weber's right eye. Hopefully not serious.

Predators captain Shea Weber is day to day after getting hit in the face by a puck late in the second period of a 3-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

Weber dropped to the ice at 15:24 of the second after being hit by a puck near his right eye. The defenceman got up and skated immediately to the locker room and did not return with what team officials called an upper-body injury.​

Here is a discussion about visors (Weber does not wear one) from the Predators blog Predlines:

According to Weber's agent, Jarrett Bousquet of Titan Sports, his client will strongly consider trying out a visor when he comes back from the injury. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...eye-injury-visor-nashville-predators/3791009/

Excited to watch Seth Jones for the first time since leaving the WHL.

Canucks touch down in Nashville - Lack confirms with Rollie the Goalie Coach that this is the right place.

And this being Nashville and the third bus ride of the day how about a rousing rendition of "On the Road Again"??

And then a check-in at the team hotel for some juice (Bieksa's favourite):

 

[Bgav]

Would like to see dalpe with Kesler and higgy

Don't forget Tan man and his Bacon. Man those guys must get fed all the time when they are on the road.

I hope we win again I want to see this team go on a hot streak.

That was Carolina bacon that Tanev was scarfing down.

See 'Canes post game thread.

Shall be my first since a certain world junior game

Only you could get excited about seeing some goalie named Mazanec play...

 

[MikeK]

No Weber? sheesh. Their blue line doesn't look as scary now. Hope the right Canucks team shows up.

 

[arsmaster*]

All I know is I hope to see Mrs Fisher on the jumbotron a few times.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Would like to see dalpe with Kesler and higgy

Yes, this. I want to see Dalpe higher up the line-up as well. He has skill to play with those guys.

Läck does not look very sane. He could be casted in some action movie with a handful of very special characters, he being one of them: a mute maniac.

 

[DL44]

Romp.

Another Slump busting game.
Burrows scores. Looks in stands and shoots an arrow towards Auger sitting in a luxury box.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

Burrows apparently out indefinitely with a broken jaw?
