I hope Legwand gets the first goal!

 

[Caeldan]

With added prediction poll goodness!

 

[Super Cake]

Why did you put Methot in the poll? Is he going to score the goal from the press box?

 

[Deku]

Chiasson gets my completely baseless vote.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

We have meaningful hockey back soon!

 

[Caeldan]

Why did you put Methot in the poll? Is he going to score the goal from the press box?

Well, I mean we don't want it to happen... but what if we're shut out until he comes back?

 

[Liliaceae]

Voted Lehner!

 

[OmniSens]

Legwand scores on his former team for our first goal of the season.

 

[Micklebot]

Why did you put Methot in the poll? Is he going to score the goal from the press box?

Clearly we'll be shut-out until his return.

 

[derriko]

Votes Greening. I think he'll knotch one from the press box

 

[Super Cake]

Well, I mean we don't want it to happen... but what if we're shut out until he comes back?

That is possible, but doubtful honestly.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Legwand scores on his former team for our first goal of the season.

Is this Legwand's first game against the Predators? Or did he face them when he was a merc with the Wings?

Looks like first game... no vs NSH in his split stats on ESPN.

It is his first game against the predators since the trade.

I checked the wings schedule last year just to make sure.

Damn. Then yeah, unofficially changing my vote from Chiasson to agree with Omni. Legwand's gonna want to come out swinging.

 

[Kaley]

Can I not vote on this poll because I'm new?? I'm offended.

For the record, I say Turris.

Patience young padawan, your time for polls will come soon.

I believe it's his homecoming.

Edit: Yeah, there you have it.

Everyone goes through those grueling first weeks of no voting

 

[StittsvilleJames]

Can't trust you yet, you'd probably go and vote condra or something....

Edit: Hey! Who went and voted Condra? rabble rabble

 

[Baby Ryan]

Patience young padawan, your time for polls will come soon.

I can't help but literally LOL at this.

Phillips will score on the PP.

 

[StefanW]

Neil, PP goal on the rebound from a Phillips shot.

This off season went on far too long. I'm getting some chicken wings and beer out so I can kick back and enjoy the game tomorrow.
