Oh, and: We're gonna get our butts kicked.

Oh, and: We're gonna get our butts kicked.

That's more like it. Thank you.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Good thing I'm paying for NBCSN, CNBC and USA Network for them not to air this game. Big old **** you to NBC.

 

[Jonesey]

Please win.

 

[klt2001]

Preds just don't be awful like the last game......oh and it's the playoffs so show up and go kick some butt!

 

[klt2001]

Also why do Ryan Johansen and Petter Granberg have small heads compared to everybody else?....doesn't that mean they will be our standouts for tonight's game

 

[predfan98]

we've seen how you can play --- anything else and the crowd will let you know......get your heads in the game

 

[bdub24]

Let's roll boys! I feel a bounce back coming! I love how whimpy Bieksa is looking out there. Put him through an end wall. Put Perry on his ass. Rattle Anderson's cage with bodies.

Mid-year changes to the roster mean they didn't get closeup shots. Blame NHL.com, from whom the images come from.

 

[Lug]

Super pumped I got tickets for this game. I haven't been to a playoff game in a few years.

 

[Drake744]

We're winning tonight, and I'm not generally very optimistic come playoff time.

 

[klt2001]

I'm wanting a win for sure but what I'll be okay w/ is if I know the Preds came out and put in their best effort to get a win. Last game wasn't their best effort; not even close. The fans and the team as a whole desire better, especially for the playoffs. They need to be coming out w/ some jam tonight and for all three periods!

 

[braindead]

Just a note that this series has followed the Sharks-Kings through the first 3 games, where the road team won all 3. Last night, the home team Sharks won....#keepthetrend

 

[Drake744]

This has probably been posted already in another thread, but....

 

[golfmade]

We're gonna win 4-2.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

There is no tomorrow. There is only today. Win today, the possibilities for this team's future become endless.

 

[FossilFndr]

If there is no tomorrow how is the future endless?

 

[Preds Partisan]

No tomorrow? If that's the case then I'm not even watching tonight's game because I probably have better things to do on the last day of Earth.

 

[Cashville]

Just win; go Perds! While we need to be disciplined, there should be a visceral amount of anger from that last performance; I expect a very different NSH team to hit the ice tonight.

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

Don't suck

 

[Adz]

Alright, time to buckle down and get back to what got you here.
Focus. Play smart. Protect your goaltender, protect one another.
No more injuries. Dictate the play, do not let the Ducks take control.
Use the mesmer if necessary.
SCORE. Score lots! Let the crowd have some fun this time.
WIN THE GAME.

Go Preds!

There might be cake.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

No tomorrow? If that's the case then I'm not even watching tonight's game because I probably have better things to do on the last day of Earth.

I'm just telling the team to not look ahead, to look at the now and you lot have to ruin my Braveheart moment.

 

[nomorekids]

I have a bad feeling the series gets evened up tonight.

 

[PredsHabs]

I feel very optimistic about this game. Predators win 3-1!
