Hope you’re doing better Dirk. Definitely no fun being under the weather.

Thanks
A sack full o’ meds and a 5-hour nap today definitely help.

Lebda tribute
Since this is Brett Lebda’s first game in Nashville since he was a Predator, I thought I’d put together a video montage of his stay here. But, since no video exists (and I have no video editing skills or software) here are some links chronicling his entire time in Nashville:
Lebda’s glorious arrival
Lebda’s journey to hockey purgatory
Lebda rides off into the sunset
Been wondering...
How would you feel if you were a winger on this team and you constantly had to hear about how Weber and Suter basically think you are mediocre?
Good point
Maybe that’s why Tits is shooting!
yeah, he straightened up after we all started ripping into him
OtF can be a good motivator…:) right Klein?
Hahaha
Maybe he read my scathing reviews of his play for the last two months and decided he’d had enough?
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
Haha!! I was about to get in my car and drive all the way down to Nashville! I just couldn’t decide which problem I wanted to kick him for first… the bad passing, the turn-overs, the lazy skating, the lack of shooting… luckily, he get himself out of it before I got down there.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
So it sucks to live in North Alabama..
channel guide on Fox Sports South shows Preds @ 7 right? welllllllll after thinking all day long..can’t wait to get home get some food and watch the preds whoop up on the blue jackets..to my surprise I turn on the tv to find Carolina & Winnipeg.. on both FSS HD and FSS.
Could be worse, you could live in Northeast Ohio which sucks in itself and be watching the Cavs…
I currently star in the new MTV3 series,
"Jersey Shore: Lake Erie Edition"
Cleveland Rocks!
no offense, ohio does suck bad. and the cavs without lebron..ugh.
don’t keep up with NBA much though.

Could be worse, you could live in Boston which doesn’t show any Predators games whatsoever…

That’s what center ice is for. Best $160 is spent in a long time

If I get a job outside the Preds TV market you can bet that I won’t even bother with cable and I’ll just watch games through GCL on my PS3
And then you feel guilty once you beat the other team! Yay Catholicism…
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
Hey, that’s the best part of being Catholic, right?
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
Mine too. (At least for a while… we’re just part of the “Chreaster Crowd” now – we go on Christmas and Easter.)
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
From what I understand my Dad aims for a couple times a month if they aren’t busy. I’ll go on Christmas to be polite.
Yeah, we go to be nice and keep the extended family happy.

I would do this too..but I would be blacked out..
so basically when it comes to these games here..FS-Tenn is my only option if I could somehow get it.

well uhhh...
you’ve always got Ohio State footba… oh wait. Then the Browns…hmm well OK I concede… You win.
don't forget the BJs
they’re here too…
I currently star in the new MTV3 series,
"Jersey Shore: Lake Erie Edition"
Cleveland Rocks!
and the indians.....sorry had to mention them..
always been a somewhat fan of them though as my grandfather signed with them back in the day..but never made it to the big leagues.
by DropTheGloves on Jan 23, 2012 7:32 PM EST up reply actions
lol really..see its listed on my charter guide on my box..
on regular FSS..but on FS-HD it lists English premier league soccer show from 6-7 and then preds at 7..but hurricanes are on both channels..major FAIL.
by DropTheGloves on Jan 23, 2012 7:27 PM EST up reply actions
other than the fact it is hockey(hey at least its hockey, hard to come by around here)
it might as well be curling to me…no offense to anyone who loves the sport of curling.
by DropTheGloves on Jan 23, 2012 7:25 PM EST up reply actions
I’m in Huntsville and FSS says EPL soccer going to be on, but I wouldn’t be surprised if hockey was on instead. Every time FS-TN covers the Preds they show it here, even though the channel guide always says some other random sport is on.
yeah i know..but currently both channels FSS & FSS HD is covering the canes..
by DropTheGloves on Jan 23, 2012 7:30 PM EST up reply actions
Maybe
They know something about a trade!
lol..maybe I should switch to direct or dish I think they offer FS-Tenn.

So, after parsing out what my professor wanted...
I’m spending this semester developing a guerilla marketing model for small market professional sports teams. Should be riveting.
What does a guerilla marketing model look like, exactly? Are they sneak attacks to force people to go to the games, or…?
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
I’m not sure yet, but there a set of strategic and tactical tools that an organization can make use of in order to receive a greater ROI with a much smaller investment.
OoooOOoooh…. like you said, sounds… riveting.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
Well, the promotional strategies are probably going to be a lot of fun. I’m meeting with my prof next Monday to figure out where I’m going to start. If I put the time into it then the model should get published…. and it will give me something awesome on my resume.
LOL Ovie got a Shanaban.

Blujackets up one… come on STL… if anyone cares :P lets go preds!!!
hah!
@puckscenecedotcom: “this is Brett Lebda’s first game in Bridgestone Arena as a player on the Preds payroll”
so depressing..hurricanes on both channels..even though preds are listed on FS HD..
i’m almost sure there is someway I could sue over this..should have stuck with law school..
HAH. That sucks though… maybe they’ll change over?

Quote about Kostitsyn
On the radio show they just said “Every chance he gets, he’s throwing the puck at the net.” Are we thinking about the same guy?
Ha!
They were attempting to comment on his surplus of goals lately, but somehow managed to say that he shoots the puck a lot. I seem to remember reading after last game that he has something like 7 goals on 10 shots in January. 10 shots. That’s impressive, but not throwing it in every chance.
Ellis write up
anyone see this from nhl.com today. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=613213
I was excited to see preds getting face time on the nhl site these last few weeks.
yup :(
That’s too bad. I was looking forward to watching him play again.

Go Predators!
So could I add “height=”20%" width=“50%” />" to the end of any pic and it would be of reasonable size?
Just use preview.
In this case, the original must have been really strange. 50 50 made it look stupid. You can change it to whatever you like though!
We'll miss you Belak...
Go Predators!
Blues and Wings game pretty rowdy.
A regulation win with a ton a bumps and bruises on the way is the only way to go.
We'll miss you Belak...
Go Predators!
I believe that.
I bet they’re both pretty riled up.

okay get this...
regular FS lists soccer and has the Canes..FS-HD lists Preds and has the Canes.. and I just noticed that for some reason even though I don’t have NHL Center Ice i’m getting the Rangers & Torono on one of those channels that I shouldn’t be getting..but none of the rest of those channels work their saying call to subscribe.. Charter really has their crap together I tell ya..
WOOO
Radio feed still behind :P

10th goal of the season?
That makes 8 different Preds with 10+ goals for the season.
by Old Kentucky Shark on Jan 23, 2012 8:22 PM EST reply actions
One 40-goal scorer
Or ten 4-goal scorers
Both result in the same amount of goals for the team.
Sounds like some sort of proverb.

Does anybody else think
that Kostitsyn looks like an early Smeagol from LoTR. Like the scene at the beginning of return of the king? Maybe its just me
An article I got started on but never finished last spring had to do with which Sergei the Preds were going to see in the playoffs, Slinker or Stinker? The way Frodo and Sam had to rely on Gollum was similar to the way the Preds found that they needed to rely on SK74’s scoring.

That. Is. Fantastic. REALLY too bad you never got to finish the article! It’s a perfect analogy.

-nashvillepredators-
It still pretty much applies, really
Especially with his recent hot streak. I’ll have to get back on that.

Did we sell out?
Selling out a Monday game against the CBJs would be incredible
The way Ellis shoots almost makes his stick look too big for him or something.
It’s weird. It works, but it’s weird.

-nashvillepredators-
Yeah, you gotta pity the guy a little bit…
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
They should make him GM and Coach of the BJs.
Just give him full control and see what goes down. It HAS to be better than their current setup and then at least he’d have a chance to make something out of that team.
We'll miss you Belak...
Go Predators!
I'll be pro-cloning if that's what I'll get out of it.

Nash should play here just because of his name. And Martin St. Louis could play for the Blues, though at ths point, I don’t want them having any more assets.
And CA would be mad, anyway.
Dear Nashville Predators,
If you don’t mind, I would really love for you to play the upcoming second period in a similar fashion to the way you played the second period against Chicago two nights ago. Do you remember that period? You scored three goals in a row, and it was beautiful. You also didn’t let have any goals against. If you could replicate that effort tonight, I would be a very happy camper, and I think you would all be very happy campers as well. Thank you for your consideration of this possibility.
Cheers and Love and Gummy Bears,
Caroline

Hmmm.
Kostitsyn played only 2:34 in the first period, fewest of any player on the ice.

Man, watching the replay of that Fisher goal is unbelievable.
I can’t believe he got that in. A quarter of an inch higher and I think it would have hit the post.
