Pre-Game Talk: Predators @ Canadiens - Saturday at 7

[Jack Skellington]

Gf got us tickets 3rd row up in the Preds end corner. Hopefully a good one

 

[groovejuice]

I looked at the standings and lo and behold the Preds have only one point more than this "crap" Habs team. Also, an argument can be made that these days the Eastern Conference is the stronger one of the two. And for anyone that is gonna pull the P.K. is injured card all I have to say is Weber.

PK, Arvidsson, Josi, Forsberg, Turris, Ekholm, Sissons...

Bit of a difference, don't you think?

 

[Skip Bayless]

Yeah the preds have been really banged up

 

[peate]

Who do we send KK after this time?

 

[Man Purse]

let Kotzilla loose on those Swedes

 

[DangerDave]

Habs are hot. Pk is gonna be pumped. Should be a good one.

 

[donghabs98]

Boy I wonder what were gonna talk about in here

Clearly its the fact Yannick Weber is facing off against his future brother-in-law Carey Price!

How Price is going to face his future brother-in-law?

Well great minds think alike.

 

[Roadhouse]

Who do we send KK after this time?

Ekholm.

Plasters KK into a corner, turns to leave then... unsuspecting Scorpion Death Drop. From Ric Flair/Jeff Jarrett to Sting.

2 for holding.

 

[donghabs98]

will there be a video tribute? lol

Well the Yannick Weber era does need it's time in the spotlight.

 

[Habs]

Well the Yannick Weber era does need it's time in the spotlight.

Emelin/Weber tribute. Not a dry eye in the house, for sure.

 

[habdynasty]

Going to be tough one the preds are good.

 

[Frank Drebin]

That midget’s a pretty good goalie.

He's awesome. Also very short.

 

[Tuggy]

Emelin doesn't play in the NHL anymore...

 

[Runner77]

All new for 2019 ...

 

[Habs Icing]

PK, Arvidsson, Josi, Forsberg, Turris, Ekholm, Sissons...

Bit of a difference, don't you think?

So I see you're going with reputation and not results.

 

[Paddyjack]

That midget’s a pretty good goalie.

Indeed. I wish we had a backup that good actually

 

[Belial]

I hope we destroy them and Weber scores a hat-trick.

 

[Habaneros]

Habs are hot. Pk is gonna be pumped. Should be a good one.

Subban is goona get booed...

 

[Runner77]

Subban is goona get booed...

Looking forward to all the battles between Subban and Gallagher. They might as well dedicate one camera solely to their confrontations -- it'll be a fun watch all its own. The hatred for each other is visceral.

Reminds me somewhat of the animosity you'd see in old time hockey even if it's not to the same extent. Wish we'd have more of that.

 

[groovejuice]

So I see you're going with reputation and not results.

Not at all. You were talking injuries. Those players have all been injured this year. Most of them for over 15 games. It's not just PK vs. Weber. That team has been decimated by injury.

 

[japhi]

PK, Arvidsson, Josi, Forsberg, Turris, Ekholm, Sissons...

Bit of a difference, don't you think?

The Preds got full on flattened by injuries this year, as bad as one team can get hit.

Ekholm and Josi have played all games but you are right on the others. Forsberg, PK and Arvy are the big ones. Their two top forwards and their top d man is a pretty big blow.

Watch that team healthy go on a run, they are still best in league IMO. Top 3 for sure.

Ekholm was only out a couple of games, I think, but Josi missed more than that. At one point, Ellis was their only top 4 playing. Arvidsson and Forsberg were out at the same time for close to 20. Forsberg was back on the roster for a couple of games and is now back on IR.

 

[ottawa]

Will be nice to see King Subban, hope he gets a standing O

He must have heard what kotka does to swedes

 

[TRG]

First time in over 5 years that I'll be at the Bell Centre for a game. I'm excited!
