Predators Game Thead #1: Nashville @ Dallas

Nashville Predators at Dallas Stars, Oct 3, 2009 8:00 PM EDT


  Stars3_medium

Here we go, time to drop the puck on the 2009-10 regular season, this time against the Stars in Dallas. After the jump, your motivational speech will get things rolling...  Discuss the game live in the comments.

Star-divide

By the way, did you know that the boy in this video is from Spring Hill? Check out the Puck Daddy article about this new YouTube sensation. There's even word that we might see a different version of this at the Preds' home opener on Thursday...

The Preds are hosting a contest on Facebook where if you name the 1st goal scorer, you’re entered to win a prize.
