I like the shuffle. Well, I might have done it a little differently. But at least this is a step (shuffle) in the right direction.

Nice for Turris to get Smith back on his wing, and nice for Carr to get into the game.

I thought we were playing the Ducks tonight for some reason (must be later this week, I know the Preds are LA's home opener).

Joey's been MIA so far, so I guess changing it up a little is necessary, but I don't think giving Turris and Smith probably 11 minutes TOI alongside Carr is putting them in a position to succeed. Moreso than line composition I think it's more maybe not play Bonino, Watson, and Sissons 16-18 minutes (I know they're our "stopper" line).

I agree with this to some extent, but I also think that part of it has just been situational with how the game's have played out thus far. In the Detroit game where we were trailing most of the game the Watson-Bonino-Sissons line had the least amount of even strength ice time out of any line, but in the other games where we've been protecting leads for a good portion of the game they've gotten more ice time. It's also partially up to what you define as successful for the Carr-Turris-Smith line. I don't think they'll be putting up outstanding numbers, but they could still be crucial in helping us win games.

Oct. 22 and it's here in Nashville. You have awhile to wait. In fact, I'm looking at the schedule and I don't see another game with them til January. We play LA, Vegas, and Arizona then come back to Bridgestone.

This will be that awkward moment when I am visiting my folks in DC and watching and cheering for my Preds while all friends who are watching are cheering for the Caps.

Sat in the city tap (im)patiently awaiting my first game in 7 and a half years. Big win please, thanks.

It was on the Ducks broadcast, they must have been showing "notable" upcoming games rather than just the ones in the immediate future.

Preds have some good jump early, I like it.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Would like a goal but this has been an excellent start.

 

[Armourboy]

That's not the team I met. Yikes Fabbro.

[Predsanddead24]

I remember when I used to think JoFA was fun to watch. This line is insane.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

BS tripping call

 

[Scoresberg]

Ehh

 

[Predsanddead24]

Has Smith always been missing teeth or is that recent?
