Predators Game Thread #58 : Nashville @ NY Islanders

Nashville Predators at New York Islanders, Feb 9, 2010 7:00 PM EST


Islanders_medium

 Date: February 9, 2010 Location: Nashville, TN
Time: 7:00 PM
Arena: Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum
Local TV: FS-TN SBN Affiliate: Lighthouse Hockey
Radio: 97.1 FM Season Series
0-0-0

Dirk: As part of the pre-game festivities, I did an interview with Jordan Lauterbach of WCWP radio on Long Island talking about the Preds and Isles. Forgive my brain cramp when trying to come up with Kyle Okposo's name as one of New York's exciting young players. I should have known better, I've got him on my fantasy team!

Alright

If our PP ever has a chance to start clicking, it’s tonight. I think NYI’s PK is actually worse than ours.

Yeah, he was trying to kick the puck up to his stick to slam it home, and whiffed on his shot, but the puck went in anyway. They made the right call.

Now, it’s sad to say, I really don’t . I’m not expecting them to win like I was earlier in the season.

further and further down the toilet we go. I surely hope Poile makes a move to improve this team and shake it up a bit. If not then we don’t stand a chance of making the playoffs, but if we should happen to end up there we will be facing either the Blackhawks or the Sharks sooooooo uh-oh.

by chrismtsu01 on Feb 9, 2010 9:58 PM EST reply actions  

VeryVeryVeryVery small consolation

Calgary lost in regulation, so we will still move up to 7th.

Also, why is Wardo never in the shootout? He is apparently the only Predator who can score in a one-on-one with a goalie.

but I’m with you…was asking the same question myself at the end of this one.The guy can be pretty creative with the puck and seems like an obvious choice for it.
