Post-Game Talk: 2/2/16 7:00 PM - St. Louis at Smashville

[gratefulpred]

All right boys, after an amazing All Star Game weekend it's time to shake off the Fangover and go for 5 in a row!



Not going to be an easy month but this is where we start

Social D leading us out of the break.

Pekka shaking off the girlfriend funk: Take away this ball and chain.
James Neal, scoring goals: Story of my life
Shea Weber, cracking heads against the glass: Bad Luck (you got a nasty disposition nobody really knows the reason why)

It's not the Sex Pistols or the Clash but, hey, you can't all be that old.

 

[Pred303]

we need this one

 

[Cashville]

We're barely hanging on to the last WC spot (COL has 2 more GP though). Regardless, the season is bifurcated into pre- and post- All Star / Olympic breaks; there seems a be a real psychological impact associated with that break if you track teams' performance before and after across seasons.

In short, we have a chance to reset, pull out the cartridge, blow on it a few times, and put it back in. Next few games will set the tone for the rest of the season and a W over the Blues is a great way to get it started. Go Perds!

 

[codeman00]

I'm extremely fired up for this weeks' games...and it helps that I have tickets to all three. I'm so ready for tonight...I hope the team is and the fans are! Ready to bring it!!!

The Blues haven't played in 9 days. If they're ever gonna be flat it'll be tonight.

Hopefully the crowd won't suffer because of the post-ASW hangover/bad weather coming through tonight.

And Nashville hasn't played in 6. Not much difference.

I do however expect the crowd to be down for many reasons tonight though.

As you said:
1) Post ASG,
2) Terrible weather at game time

and forgotten point

3) It's a Tuesday night.

Blues 2-0

 

[preds1]

Forsberg - Johansen - Neal
Every - One - Else
Who - Can - Put On
A Pair - Of - Skates

 

[Byrddog]

Forsberg - Johansen - Neal
Every - One - Else
Who - Can - Put On
A Pair - Of - Skates

Unfortunately that's about the size of it. Not hard to see which line is going to get the best defense match-ups here

 

[Drake744]

Yeah I cringed when I saw the lines

 

[Scoresberg]

Those lines.. brutal. Vesey and Wilson would jazz up that lineup but still.. we need a middle 6 F and fast but we don't really have assets to acquire that. I still think we don't want to give up our 1st, we're not a contender this year. Not even sure if we are a playoff team.

 

[Adz]

Score lots of goals.
Make lots of saves.
2 points for Nashville.

Go Preds!

 

[ILikeItILoveIt]

Forsberg - Johansen - Neal
Every - One - Else
Who - Can - Put On
A Pair - Of - Skates

So you come off the ASG high, you get pumped for a "Yuge" game tonight, then you look at the lines and go, "Who stole our guys?" This is the best we have??

Reminds of that great baseball line about a 5 man pitching staff with 1 ace and 4 losers: "Our pitching staff is Ace and 4 days of rain."

 

[PredsHabs]

Much rather had anyone besides Arvidsson called up. Not a fan of him at the NHL level.

 

[dubgeek]

I've got 1 ticket in the lower bowl if someone wants to meet me out front before the game.

I'd hate for a good seat to go to waste.

We’re snobbish about our hockey in Canada, and when the NHL went to Tennessee, no one could believe it. For years, we counted the days until they would move. No one’s worrying about that anymore. Without the NHL, I never would have gone to Nashville and learned what a fantastic city it is — alive, exciting, friendly and entertaining. That said, I don’t understand how a young, single player gets more than two points in 40 games.

Pääjärvi Stastny Tarasenko
Berglund Steen Backes
Fabbri Lehtera Brouwer
Upshall Brodziak Jaskin

He talking about Hodgson?

 

[Rads47]

I believe he is making a joke that a young, single guy in nashville will have too many distractions to be successful in the league.
