Around SBN: The Gift Of The 2003 Tigers

via Ryan Porth of the Red Light District Hockey Blog (@RLDhockey on Twitter), a play on the NHL's new "History will be made" ad campaign. Whether you like Radulov or not, this was a great moment for Nashville hockey. What were you doing when Arnott scored?

I was listening to the game on the radio at my parents’ house when I heard the goal. I actually had a similar reaction to Arnott- I jumped into the den wall yelling my head off. There’s an indentation there to this day. Even though Rads was involved, quite possibly my favorite moment in Preds history.

I only wish there was video with a Preds announcer calling it. As it is, still get chills.

Okay, so it rocks to see this again! I never think to look any of these great moments on You Tube.

It happened right in front of us. (We’re in the third row just off frame right.) We were all so delirious it never occurred to us somebody bad might have happened.

I was pretty much incoherent at that point.

A great moment, spoiled

I had my youngest son (5 at the time) with me up in the 300’s. He was really into the game, yelling his head off after the Suter goal, and when Arnott scored seconds later, I thought the building was going to explode. I’ve been fortunate enough to see some incredible NHL events in person, but that was right there at the top.

Then A-Rad goes and dings his captain’s melon… ugh!!! What might have been?

More fun than a stick to the face!

Man, to have been there…this is why I’m going to sell arm and leg this spring to get there. That building is going to be hopping next month like nobody’s bid’ness. Hopefully they do some sort of towel/t-shirt giveaway and we just run whoever we play right out of town.

I promise I won't go

I’m on an 11 game losing streak in games I attend, and I have been there for both of the series ending games against the Sharks.

Don’t listen to Burton. You are right to respect your losing streak. Maybe you can try and break it early next year. PLEASE! FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING PREDATORS, DON’T GO!!!!!!

i will never forget..

hearing that goal on the radio. I was driving in the car and had to pull over for the last 5 minutes of the game. such an amazing moment. except for the whole arnott getting hurt thing…

Good Times

Ahhhh, I was there. I was hoarse by the end of that game. I still can’t tell where Arnott hits his head. I thought, at the time, that it was the most spontaneous emotion I had ever seen the team display.
Still not blaming Rad for it.

by cisar on Mar 30, 2010 4:19 PM EDT reply actions  

It happens when Rad first collides with Arnott, knocking the back of Arnott’s head into the boards, right around the 3 second mark in the above video.

I was there...

one of the most memorable Preds moments, for sure! Also will never forget Leggys mouse-pad hat trick, because it was so unique (In more ways than one!!)
