Who got their afternoon nap in, so they can hang around until the wee hours tonight?

Lets go Preds!

It will be bittersweet seeing Nichol in a Sharks jersey. That being said I sure hope neither he nor Ortmeyer get anything going against us.

Erat - Santorelli - Thuresson

this is a strange line. they don’t seem to be doing much, but they’ve generated points two games in a row (which is a lot for us)

I think some good lines tonight. I also like Ward – Legwand – Smithson. Really strong on the puck, a good shut down line with some upside potential.

Who goes to Milwaukee when Wilson and Dumont come back?

I would have assumed Thuresson… now I’m not so sure.

that was a nice play by McGinn, and he roofed that shot right under the crossbar. I wouldn’t be too hard on Ellis for that one.

Welcome!

It’s been a good one so far, very tight in terms of Shots on Goal, but the Sharks have probably had the more dangerous chances. San Jose took 1-0 and 2-1 leads, but the Preds have bounced back each time…

It's hard to blame this all on one player...

but Ellis cannot allow those kind of goals late in the 3rd in a close game!

Blame Trotz nort Ellis

Rinne is CLEARLY the best goalie Nashville has. End of discussion. That he didn’t start against the best team in hockey, on the road, with the Sharks sitting Nabakov is a great way to blow 2 points.

I’m in Canada and respect Nashville as a hockey market. You folks have really come out and supported your club the last few seasons when alot of people wrote you off. But I am wondering if talk of Trotz getting canned is happening? If not, maybe it should.

Pick a goalie Barry, or lose your job.

It was happening after our 2-5-1 start

but it ended ended when we got back to .500. Of course, one of the big reasons we got back to .500 was because of Rinne.

Hey Czar 123

Thanks for being on of the 12 people in Canada who respects us. The fact that this fine blog has over 100 comments for a west coast game speaks volumes about the passion of Preds fans. And you’re right, Czar, Barry needs to pick a goalie (preferably Rinne).

On to St. Louis.
