Rooting for ANA to run the table and take the #1 overall seed in the West; want CHI to win the Central so we play them in the first round. I want a CHI rematch badly. I doubt the Cup is coming down Broadway this year and I'd like another whack at the Hawks. ANA is also ridiculously hot and I don't really want any part of them.

But I digress; even on a B2B, this should be a W. Score first, play tight defense, and get 2 points. Go Perds!

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Calgary has given us fits in the past. Hope we can score early and often tonight. A win tonight and St. Louis loss and things get mighty interesting.

I want no part of the Hawks. None what so ever. Dallas and Anaheim are better match ups for us.

 

[King Weber]

I wouldn't mind another crack at the Blackhawks either. We were close last year, and with a few lucky bounces going our way and with Weber and Fisher healthy, who knows what might've happened.


That being said, there's still ways to go before the playoffs, and there are no easy games in the NHL, so go out there and get the 2 points.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

I like this because Hutton will get the start and thus Rinne will get a 3-day break.

Destroy them.

Go Preds!!!

 

[deanwormer]

OK Huts, it's your turn. Keep that solid play going.

Sissons - nice re-call debut - now keep the intensity.

Willy - flashes of the real you - another step forward tonight - we need you come PO time.

Potato/Granny - ya'll gonna' have to play more minutes than last night - get yourselves a nice afternoon nap.

Team. Last night was ugly. Capital U ugly. the kinda' game where we lose cause we play down to our competition ugly. We won. Like a strong, PO contending team, not the pretender sneaking in PO team. I hate Calgary. Please, come out with a big first and put them away early. Pretty, ugly - doesn't matter - a W. Go Perds!

 

[AintLifeGrand]

Lets just maintain status quo plz until the 1st round of PO

They definitely have, but we won our last game there and they are really in disarray right now- hopefully we can steal another one.

 

[Armourboy]

Just win please!

 

[Adz]

2 points. Go get them. Pretty would be nice, but I'm not picky. Just want both of them, preferably in regulation (for my heart).

Take advantage of your opportunities, play SMART, and NO INJURIES.

There might be cake.

Go Preds!

Happy Birthday Salty. Let's hope that we can get some Birthday magic.

As long as Hutton keeps up his good play I think we win tonight. Only concern is it's a back-to-back and the elevation change is almost 3,000 feet so it's kinda like a B2B ending in Colorado. Hopefully our legs have plenty of energy and we stick to what we've been doing.

I was concerned about how physical last night's game was with having a game tonight. I didn't think about that.

3,000 aint a big deal. Neither is 5,200ish. 8,000 and up is a *****, but for these guys , a few thousand feet above sea level aint no thang

As a sea-level land lubber my whole life, doing anything at a significant level above sea level is brutal. Skiing at the top of the Imperial Lift at Breckenridge (12,840 ft above sea level) was about 40x more difficult than I thought it would be. I had to stop after every ~5 cuts or so completely out of breath. It was beautiful though:

 

[Drake744]

Well, I mean we already DID win in Colorado a few days ago, so we're good....

This 'hd' feed is so bad I'd almost rather just watch sd.

 

[NSH615]

Is it just me or is the camera for this game not clear? It seems like it is just the camera following the action that is like this.

It's making me dizzy watching it.

It's like it's broadcast in 3D and I forgot my glasses

 

[LCPreds]

I think they're just trying to convince me to drink more beer.

 

[bdub24]

Really taking a shine to our lil aardvark.

 

[kypredsfan]

We really have to beat this Ortio guy. He has one damn win. One. I do not want to give him #2.

 

[drwpreds]

Very sluggish start- we are gonna have to grind this one out
