Looks like sleeping pills won't be needed tonight!
And I’m first you hung over bitches!
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Preds fan here
Few things…
Dan Ellis hasn’t “taken over”, persay, Rinne has had the flu and Ellis has been red hot. No telling who goes tonight. For all intents and purposes, Rinne is our 1a goalie.
Any idea who’s in net for y’all tonight? Looking at Niemi’s statas alone, I’m wondering why he isn’t the full starter.
Wearing our new thirds tonight. Should be a rowdy, big crowd.
Shout it! Shout it!
Shout it out LOUD!

Coach of the year...
as much as I think of coach Q, I think Barry Trotz is one of the best. Should be a good series.

Let it be known
That the Pred’s goal song is the single most annoying goal song ever. Ew.
I find that any goal song of any team that scores on your team to be annoying, no?

I always wanted to wear my Hawks jersey to Nashville's music row
Six blocks of drunken honky-tonkin’ on the main strip. I have been through Nashville before and I just can’t imagine what kind of person would subject themselves to all those drunken hill-rods while wearing a Hawks jersey after a big win for the Hawks. Maybe Bob Probert or Link Gaetz’ idea of a good time. You are a Sox fan, so you have that going for you. Anyways, have a great time bring home a win (and while you are at it try to get Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert or Terri Clark drunk and see if they will have sex with you).
Victim was found murdered by a Chelsea Dagger.
Or just head straight to east Nashville after the game
Smoke a ‘j’ with Hank III and hunt Todd Snider down for a proper bourbon-soaked tour that will probably get you the happy ending with any of the aforementioned three anyhow. Get yourself a pre-game mullet and I think you should be okay no matter what you’re wearing. Enjoy yourself.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
Time to teach the Preds a fang or two.
You would think the ‘Hawks would be slightly annoyed with the Predators like the rest of us and take it to them every shift all game long, but you never know.
Can Jonathan Toews start a goal-scoring streak? What about Sharp can he start one of his torrid streaks that he goes on at least 3 times a year?
Huet in tonight then Niemi tomorrow, what’s the goaltending situation going into the weekend?
In any event, this is the last time the ’Hawks will visit the Sommet Center this season which is another thing to be thankful for during the holidays.
It's never about the eventual destination, but rather the long journey and its challenging obstacles that are presented and what it takes to overcome them, that makes the taste of success all the more worthwhile!!!

Anyone else watch...
the Canada vs Latvia juniors game? Holy fuck Canada absolutely demolished them.
Silly really.
I wish they could come up with a better format than goals for/against to determine the winning record. It’s almost as bad as sitting through a Nashville vs. (insert opponent’s name here) game.

Converted on the second. These games will probably artificially inflate the PP% and make Q think its working.

Wow, Buff (on the point, still hate that) with a wrist shot power play goal from the Blue line. Just like they drew it up.
just manufactured a goal. I feel your frustration but in all fairness, he is still developing as a hockey player. From MInn rink rat to playing juniors in Chitown, drafted as a Dman then switched to winger.

Has anyone downloaded sopcast before?
Is it going to put a bunch of pop ups or spyware on my computer? I’m using my dad’s PC and he’ll be pissed if I download something that fucks up his computer.
yeah, can't do it.
And I would do it on my brand new laptop but I don’t even have an anti-virus program on it yet.
A HUGE complaint about the NHL’s GameCenter – my dad tried to buy it so he could watch Blackhawks games here in Michigan. We don’t get Chicago WGN and our Comcast channel is Fox Sports Detroit even though we’re only an hour and a half from Chicago. He made the payment for GameCenter and the Blackhawks games were blacked out. He called to explain that he doesn’t get Chicago stations on local cable and they said there was nothing they could do to help him. Bunch of bullshit.

Should have clarified
High school wise. Live in Iowa and they don’t allow high schools to play over break. All the national stuff just comes over the wire. We don’t have to do anything with it.
Frustrating
I have resorted to listening to the WGN feed. My speakers stopped working and missed the pp goal!
I downloaded it
in hopes that Erin Andrews really did have a sex tape…………..still disappointed.

but its not just a chemistry thing. I think winning and scoring goals creates chemistry. That said, who fills in for him if we get rid of him? Maybe Brouwer, but the real help won’t come until we have Beach playing next year (hopefully).

They're chanting to the "HEY!" song.
You know, the one that was popular when MICHAEL FUCKING JORDAN was winning his first NBA championship. It’s 2009. I know people in Nashville can’t tell because of all the mullets and stone washed, tapered leg jeans floating around in that city, but they have the ability to look at a fucking wall calendar.
I’m about to go on the war path.
Pretty sure
most of the fans are just there to watch a knuckle-duster anyway. Maybe throw a drink at someone – “Hockey? Let’s get another photo with the pompom tits.”
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
So does this make it alright to start a “Fuck your cousin” chant at the game tomorrow? Not really directed at the players, but more towards those fans.

Kaner!

Everybody...HIT SOMEBODY! ~ the Chicago Rush are back in April 2010
do you think
that other teams just shrug goals like that off? As if to say, “It’s Kane. That’s going to happen sometimes.”
There are many moments when the puck is on his tape where it just seems he can score at will. He’s only going to get better
Edzo saying “I’ve said this before” is redundant. There isn’t anything he hasn’t said before.
And there’s another goal.
I wonder
If he can recall every moment he’s said it before?
“I’ve said this before, like at the 4th game of the year against Detroit back in 07”
wait what?
woot!

Team owners have lots to lose when well-paid players are out for long stretches of time.
The Minnesota Wild have been without Andrew Ebbett(notes), Petr Sykora(notes), Pierre-Marc Bouchard(notes) and defenseman Brent Burns(notes) because of concussions./blockquote>

whoever said they stumbled into bizarro world is partially right
FOs after the 2nd:
Sharp – 5 of 14 – 36%
Madden – 4 of 11 – 36%
Ladd – 0 of 1 – 0%
Toews – 6 of 13 – 46%
Fraser – 2 of 3 – 67%
On the replay
the Kopecky tip doesn’t look high. He looks like he kept the stick inside the strike zone, which shouldn’t be higher than that crossbar.
Also
even if it was high, would the fact that it then made contact with the opposing team (goalie) have nullified a stick above the shoulders call? Or would the opposing team have to control the puck instead of just touch it?
not sure.
I’ll check the rule book.

Rule 80
When a puck is struck with a high stick and subsequently comes into the possession and control of a player from the offending team (including the player who made contact with the puck), either directly or deflected off any player or official, there shall be a whistle.
So possession by the defender is needed to wash out the high stick.

.......Did Huet can credit for Nashville's goal?
"Trying is the first step towards failure" Homer Simpson
If Kane puts on 5 lbs per off-season
He’s going to be an absolute beast by 25. I applaud the NSH announcers. Very fair although their Gretzy comparison for Kane/Toews is a stretch. They were talking about how they welcome defenders double teaming them because they know it will create opportunities for others. Gretz was other-worldy. K/T are just very good at this point.
by Duck99 on Dec 26, 2009 8:58 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Steve got it right.
“Even if the ref is in the process of blowing the whistle, the goal should be disallowed. I was very surprised that Toronto ruled in favour of this goal.” That sucks for Huet, the NHL’s star of the week right now as well as the Blackhawks who have the 4 shutouts already this month.
From the NHL – “No team has had five shutouts in a calendar month since new career leader Martin Brodeur had four and Corey Schwab one for New Jersey in December 2003.”
