Florida Panthers at Nashville Predators, Nov 28, 2009 8:00 PM EST
Nashville's new secondary logo has been greeted with mixed reviews from fans (though it continues to poll rather well among veterinarians).
On The Forecheck * Cats at Preds GameDay Central * TSN Preview
WELCOME TO THIS EVENING'S OPEN THREAD - PLEASE REMOVE SHOES BEFORE ENTERING
A matchup of felines tonight, as the Panthers visit Nashville's Predators, which presumably references some sort of prehistoric cat.
Tomas Vokoun? Scott Clemmensen? For that matter, Alexander Salak? Numbers aside, goaltending wasn't the overarching cause of last night's headaches, so what's a coach to do?
No better time than the present to begin another serious point streak; with luck - and several fewer mental lapses than were witnessed Friday - the Cats (Florida's...not Tennessee's) can get it back on track. After all, they're on the road, which has been rather kind of late (7-4-1. Yes, the Panthers).
Nashville suffered a home loss less than a day ago as well, falling to St. Louis 3-1. Dave Scatchard scored the lone Predators goal, while Jordin Tootoo (1 assist, 1 sog, -2) was named third star of the game. Huh?
The Forechecker's got the locals attended to at the wonderful On The Forecheck, which routinely carries far more than just Preds news. Without question worth a daily visit.
As always, thanks for coming by. Go Cats (um, the Sunrise variety).

Anyone seen Steven Reinprecht?
He’s scored a grand total of two goals since November 4th. Losing Cory Stillman turned out to be quite the jones.

Not knocking his effort, but wow…what a fall.

AROUND THE SE:
CAR over BUF 1-0, mid-first
WAS over MON 1-0, mid-first

Ah, Nashville....
I attended the first ever Predators home game. I even have one of the memorial first game pucks they handed out.

Your avatar was their first secondary logo, right D?
by Donny Rivette on Nov 28, 2009 7:44 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
LOL. Probably not.
They did have that silly ‘claws’ power play thing at the first game.

That’s actually really cool, Dave. Who’d they play and what was the final?
by Donny Rivette on Nov 28, 2009 7:46 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
They played the Panthers. I think we won, but truthfully my mind was elsewhere at the time (long story — one I’ll tell privately).
by OldDave on Nov 28, 2009 7:48 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I found the puck ...
… October 10th, 1998.
by OldDave on Nov 28, 2009 7:49 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
From wikipedia: “The Predators first took the ice on October 10, 1998, where they lost 1-0 at home to the Florida Panthers. Three nights later, on October 13, they defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 3–2 for their first win.”

One might think Ville Koistinen would be a smart addition to the lineup tonight, given his two (calendar) years of service with the Preds

Is Kreps supposed to score? I mean, if he stays in the positive end of the plus/minus and finishes his checks with regularity, will anyone complain if he ends the year with 8 goals?
by Donny Rivette on Nov 28, 2009 8:15 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Like that was a really hard push, by Kulikov, into the boards to warrant a penalty……
by CLG_74 on Nov 28, 2009 8:36 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Cats are taking an inordinate number of penalties in recent days

Usually we wait for them to kill their PP off. They actually scored on two of them last night.
