PrintNashville Predators at Detroit Red Wings, Mar 29, 2009 5:00 PM EDT
The Preds head into Motown to complete a busy weekend battling for every point they can get in the Western Conference playoff chase. If Nashville does make the postseason, it's pretty much a 50/50 chance that they'd face the Red Wings in Round 1, so expect some rough stuff as each team looks to set the tone for a rematch in a few weeks.

hopefully they'll be setting the tone for a rematch in few weeks...
because that would mean that we’re in the playoffs
Christie kicks it high and short...Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25...He dishes it back to Wycheck...He throws it across the field to Dyson...
Isn't it great to have some national coverage

How about a moment even more dramatic than that current one.
Crowd roaring after Suter’s goal tied it up… Preds win the faceoff and Arnott crosses the blueline, slapshot and a SCORE! Arnott blows it by Hasek and the Preds take the lead 4-3…

Finally here...
Just got back from Indiana, unloaded the van, and got the kids playing on the Wii…
I was surprised that Pete & Terry were surprised about the goal reversal. That looked like a pretty clear kick to me. Now let’s get ready for the 2nd!

This one doesn't really matter if its a 3 point game as long as we get 2
since theres no way we can catch the dead things

2. I want to see all Central teams make it to the playoffs
