TV: SPSO, PRIME

Last 10: Nashville 5-4-1; Anaheim 7-2-1

Season series: This is the third and final game between the Nashville Predators and Anaheim Ducks. The first two games were road wins for the Ducks, with Ryan Getzlaf figuring in six of their nine goals (four goals, two assists).

Big story: A third-period comeback against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday allowed the Ducks to reach 50 wins for the first time in franchise history. With six games remaining, their goal is to lock down the Pacific Division title and try to catch the St. Louis Blues for first in the Western Conference.

I'd settle for an entertaining game, no more mushed heads for our youngsters, and perhaps Perry stepping in front of a Weber blast.

What we probably get is whipped in this back-to-back, then win out, and instead of the 6th pick we end up 11th.

Ducks 5-1, Dickie with a breakaway goal.

That's what i'm afraid of... this is no time to prove a point, or start building something good for next year. Don't mess up a good thing now by winning. Tank, Tank, Tank!!!

A loss in regulation tonight would mean the Predators are eliminated from the playoffs.

 

[Byrddog]

Any reliable word on lines? The sight I used did not update for some reason.

 

[ThirdManIn]

Wilson!

 

[The PH Factor]

A goal that involved some skating speed (aka not tip, not dump/chase)! Good job Wilson

 

[ThirdManIn]

Any reliable word on lines? The sight I used did not update for some reason.

I just turned it on. The only one I know for sure is Wilson centering Spaling and Stalberg.

 

[I Will Son]

WILSON!! That is something he needs to do more of.

He's one of probably 2/3 forwards on this team that can do that

 

[GeauxPreds]

Wilson creating offense?
The preds up?

Holy cow bizarro world tonight apparently.

also with lines Jarnkrok Smith Borque is still a line.

and clune nystrom sissions is 4th line right now. First line leaves Hornqvist Fisher Cullen.

 

[The PH Factor]

I just turned it on. The only one I know for sure is Wilson centering Spaling and Stalberg.

It was Jarnkrok, Bourque, Smith to take the opening faceoff as well

 

[INDhockeyfan]

Wilson scored a goal.

 

[ThirdManIn]

Cullen, Fisher and Hornqvist as a PP unit.

Oh man. Striking FEAR in some hearts.

 

[GeauxPreds]

Yeah, that was some terrible puck movement by our first line on the PP

 

[ThirdManIn]

I'm assuming it's

Wilson between Spaling and Stalberg
Jarnkrok between Smith and Bourque
Cullen between Fisher and Hornqvist
Sisson between Clune and Nystrom

That's for the time being. By the end of the night it'll be something like

Cullen between Spaling and Hornqvist
Clune between Jarnkrok and Bourque
Nystrom between Sissons and Fisher
Wilson between Stalberg and Smith



edit: oops forgot Goose is hurt. It's been a long couple of weeks...

 

[ThirdManIn]

Refs call a penalty on Smith for being run into at the blueline while trying to get back onside

Good call, refs.

 

[GeauxPreds]

Smith inadvertently ran into Lindholm, but still, a weak call. Ah well, there goes smith's ice time for the rest of the game.

 

[I Will Son]

Wilson

 

[ThirdManIn]

Wilson with two goals.

Honk if you're Willy!

 

[GeauxPreds]

Watch wilson get a hattrick and the preds still manage to choke it away by the end of the game.

 

[jntarheels]

I was just about to say, right before that goal, that Wilson is playing a very nice game tonight!! Solid checks and carrying the puck in the zone! And then he scores, again! Very nice Mr. Wilson, very nice!!

 

[I Will Son]

Fisher!!!

 

[ThirdManIn]

lol

Preds scoring all of their goals for next week tonight

 

[I Will Son]

Hornqvist has been more creative last couple of games.

 

[GeauxPreds]

lol

Preds scoring all of their goals for next week tonight

lets hope so, we can't win too many if we want to draft high
