Just sounded like on ice smack talk. No malice involved, just something you do for motivation or de-motivation (of the other team). Hope there is some bad blood.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Yeah I mentioned this earlier in the off-season thread, funny stuff.

Yeo should respond with outrage over Nashville "stealing" Cullen.

Trotz would respond with how we stole Blum.

 

[Casper]

I would rather have someone hate us out of resentment than 'like' us out of apathy. **** the predators!

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Sounds like something said in humor.

 

[Wrong Box Legwand]

He's joking. Of course, it never hurts to drum up a "rivalry" for the fans so they'll spend more money on Wild tickets.

Smilodon, I really wish we would have such a large attendance like Nashville. You guys really set the bar.

 

[DeuceMN]

Nashville has a pretty good attendance, one of the best in the Southern markets. When the team is doing well they pack that place too.

I hope we get a rivalry with them

Sad thing is though, they're my fiancées favorite team, so by default they've become one of my other favorite teams, and I can't truly hate them

Ah well, for the next year, **** the Preds, Jets, Hawks, and Stars

I thought wild is selling out every game? Not much benefit

I actually have no idea if Wild games in Nashville are sold out or not.

Are you joking? I was under the impression their attendance is actually pretty healthy and they sell out quite a bit.

 

[dwanmaster*]

Yeah their gonna kick our butts with that deadly Stalberg-Cullen-Fisher 1st line

 

[Jarick]

Nashville could fill about one third of their arena and still be twice as loud as the X. Fans down there are loud and proud.

Circle those dates boys! Don't let those...Nashvillians (?) get you down.

 

[Uberdachen]

Nashvillagers?

 

[HamiltonOHL]

looks like a new rival to go along with winnipeg

 

[DeuceMN]

Yeah their gonna kick our butts with that deadly Stalberg-Cullen-Fisher 1st line

And yet we at best split our games with them every season.

 

[Jarick]

Trotz really sticking his neck out on that comment, eh?

They have a damn strong defense.

They also have Forsberg coming in, which should help.

Bravo to you. I literally laughed out loud. And here's to some blood spilling on our (preds) home opener against the wild.

 

[Bookman]

That grin on Suter's face always makes me LOL!

Who created that one? More HF Boards Photoshop brilliance!
