Game Thread #76: Nashville @ Detroit

Nashville Predators at Detroit Red Wings, Mar 29, 2009 5:00 PM EDT


03-29_medium

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

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!

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