Needless to say, the Preds have to have this one.
It sure would've helped matters, if they could've pulled off the overtime win in game 5. But, the Predators never do anything the easy way.
I know the fans will be cranked for this one. I only hope the team is. I hope Legwand can at least play. He and Arnott were dearly missed in the last game.
We'll be up in 303 yelling our lungs out.
Hopefully, the camera guy won't catch Uncle Larr giving a "questionable gesture" to a Red Wings fan, on the Megatron this time. ;D Oops!
Go Preds!!!!!

This year was a fun ride. I can't wait until next season. And, it looks like I missed the gesture to the Wing-Nut.

A fun ride, but we'll be riding the same ride unless the new owners finally decide it's time for a coaching change.
Trotz has been a good coach, but now, it's time for a coach that can get us past the FIRST ROUND of the playoffs. Yesterday's breakdown and sleepwalking on ice, all goes back to COACHING.
You can't score goals constantly making fancy, behind the back, cross-ice passes and then turn around and lose the puck. As usual, NOT ENOUGH SHOTS ON GOAL!!!
Thanks for an exciting season Preds!
But, even greater thanks if the new owners can find us a NEW COACH!!!!!! Trotz has done all he can do here----time to move on.

Evidently it was "Die" time.  Anyways, I am very proud of the team this season. With the lack of true talent on this team they shouldn't have been anywhere near the playoffs, let alone taking the Dead Things to 6 games. Yet, they still overcame one heck of a rollercoaster ride and finished with a pretty good season overall. Now time to vent a little, Being Being eliminated from the playoffs sucks. Being eliminated FOUR STRAIGHT YEARS ON HOME ICE just makes you want to  !!!! I don't know if I can blame the coaching on this year's 1st round exit. Last year's maybe, but not this year's. Like I said this team just doesn't have any true talent. Leipold royally screwed us last year by GIVING AWAY most of our best players. This included our power play specialists (that's why we had the worst PP in the league this year, literally) and our best passers. I agree that they should stop passing so much and just shoot the bloody thing. They just simply don't have the talent to make ANY kind of passes, let alone all the "pretty" type passes Larry mentioned. I wish that they would realize how foolish it makes them look to try that stuff, but not have the talent to pull it off. I also wish that they would grow a set and start crashing the net. Yeah, the boxscore may register several hits, but I don't consider it hitting, or being physical, unless someone is getting knocked on thier rears, or crashing the net hard enough to plow over the goalie. The other team can't score and the goalies can't make a save if they're looking at the lights or kissing ice!!!  Some may consider that "dirty", but I call it HOCKEY!  |

I went to the game yesterday(my first and only game of 2008). Great atmosphere and crowd! I was disappointed by the outcome, but I think the Preds played hard.
Good job, Preds!!!
