Post-Game Talk: Game 61: Winter Disaster @ Predators - 7PM, FS Tennessee - WIN!

[Drake744]

Now that was a fun one to be at! Maybe things are changing over the years, but at face off the arena was only half full. By the end of 1st period it was almost all full. Do people not realize games start at 7?

Traffic was AWFUL all over the city yesterday going both in and out of town. I don't know why but fixing potholes caused by the frozen roads was a common theory. I had friends coming from different parts of town that were late. I was there on time because I knew to get the **** off 40 coming in from the east and to take Lebanon Road. I probably would've been late if I didn't know about it.

But yeah, Forsberg tho..........

By the way: was that Frosty a bit extra yummy today? It should be. It was the 200th time the Preds have scored 4 or more goals at home since 1998!

We actually scored an empty net goal

Only cause we didn't know there was one - Nystrom said it right on the ice.

There was a bad wreck on Briley and another one somewhere down in Donelson. I was heading the "other" way down Lebanon, too--traffic was horrendous going the other way!

Its like people forgot how to drive when they got cooped up in their houses last week!

If this team could play with the skill, the drive and the passion they did last night every night? Oh, my...just think what they could do. They're well on their way.

I thought it was interesting that instead of the usual "we're just looking at the next game..." canned answer I heard 2 people...I know one was Calle, can't remember who the other one was...say, in essence, we LIKE being #1. We are working to stay #1. We are not letting up.

I like that work ethic, quite frankly.

I think a large part of it is the large holes in the road created by the ice. I hit 2 on the way home last night as I couldn't see them until it was too late. I now know of at least 5 on massive ones on main high traffic roads.

I was thinking last night about why we can only play with that kind of passion, drive and effort at home, and on the road, we look like our feet are stuck in mud. We DOMINATED Colorado last night and they're not that bad a team. They're certainly better than Buffalo and at probably better than Philly, but likely equal if not.

The only thing I can figure is it comes down to last change. On the road, a team can maximize their advantage against us. Add a hot goaltender and suddenly a mediocre team looks impossible to beat. At home, we can do the opposite so more often than not, a team is at a massive disadvantage before they ever set foot on the ice.

And that's why I think you see the sometimes weird lines on the road. Lines such as Forsberg on the 3rd line kind of thing.

I hate Mike Smith.

If they did that every night, there'd be this big silver shiny thingy being paraded around the ice.
