Pre-Game Talk: Round 1 - Canes vs Preds

[MrazeksVengeance]

At this point we’re up against the point where people won’t be able to plan for attending a weekend game. Especially with the escalating fuel crisis here locally.

It feels like if they don’t announce the start time almost immediately, then they have to be looking out beyond the weekend.

UNFORTUNATE INDEED.

So this is cool, have. Preds f***wad cross quoting from our GDTs to the main series thread in the playoff forum. I know this because I got the notification he was doing it as he pulled at least one of mine.

That seems like a monumental asshole thing to do

WE MUST REMAIN CALM. ‘TIS WHAT SUN-TZU SAYS.

 

[Stickpucker]

if we really want to f*** with them, well...

three goalies, three periods - the answer is obvious. during pre-game put the names in a hat, the order they are drawn determines which period each guy plays.

It works for the forward lines why not goalies too?

Aint never seen anybody skate a presidents cup...just sayn

6/19/2006 Watching Roddy skate that cup in the RBC center was one of the coolest things I have ever been a part of.

I want to do that again.

Yeah, the GLINT off the Stanley Cup rolling out from the Zamboni entrance is forever etched in my brain! And I was sitting at the other end!

SO at this rate we'll be starting this series in 2022

Game 1 will be the Stadium Series

 

[hblueridgegal]

Not surprised by Slavin but Ceddy has been out for a while. McGinn in!

Not sure why they’re prolonging this seeing as they’re going to give the prime /National TV slots to the East teams, Vegas and the Sunshine showdown anyway.

Im surprised by Slavin TBH. Not practicing still sounds a lot worse than a precautionary hold out.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I'm not surprised by Slavin missing practice at all. If he misses all of them and still plays I wouldn't be surprised. Getting him healthy is more important than practice.

At this point I have to think they're pushing out to at least Monday.

Why are Games 1 and 2 in Raleigh at 8pm, but Game 3 in Nashville at 7pm?

 

[A Star is Burns]

Good. Maybe there will be a little less schedule bitching now.

I LOVE RETURN OF THE SIZABLE MANHOOD OF MR. MCGINN, BUT I HOPE SLAVIN TAKING TIME OFF IS JUST SAFESIES.

League leaders pushed to CNBC and USA

The way the timezones work - with this schedule none of the games start at 7pm in the city in which they are taking place. Games in Raleigh will start at 8pm locally (meaning 7pm Nashville) - games in Nashville will start at 6pm locally.

I would expect the opposite - all games start at 7 locally meaning Game 3 would be 8pm ET and Games 1 and 2 would be 7pm ET.

RIGHT... GUESS IT'S WHAT BLUERIDGE IS SAYIN'.

 

[AD Skinner]

But if these games start at 6 and 8 locally the audience there can also tune in to whatever other games might be on that start at 7. Kinda weird but I guess that's what they're going for

This is a good point - NCAA tourney vibes.

That sucks for Preds fans who have to get to a downtown arena at 6pm local time on a work day. I'm sure they'll manage, but it's hard to imagine there won't be empty seats at puck drop.

Opposite dynamic for Canes fans. Should be a great opportunity to tailgate in spite of playing on a weekday.

Uh yeah especially since they aren’t at full capacity hyuck hyuck.

 

[Cormag001]

uhhh

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Tampa/Florida on Tuesday on CNBC also at 8 p.m.

I think you have to conclude that Comcast didn’t want to preempt Shepard Smith for hockey.
