Panthers at Predators
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.
AROUND THE SE:
CAR over BUF 1-0, mid-first
WAS over MON 1-0, mid-first
ATL / PHI no score, mid-first
TBL at DAL, 8:30 start
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?

That’s actually really cool, Dave. Who’d they play and what was the final?

They played the Panthers. I think we won, but truthfully my mind was elsewhere at the time (long story — one I’ll tell privately).
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.”
Actually like them better than the standard issue unis.

Cats are taking an inordinate number of penalties in recent days

AROUND THE SE...
ATL over PHI 1-0, late in first
WAS and MTL tied at 2, late in second
CAR over BUF 1-0, end of two

See if he can handle MacIntyre…but I think that will be Erat

That’s true. It was a long night, however.

Do we have a shortened nickname for Kulikov yet?
Typing “Dmitry” or his last name gets old…gonna need a macro soon or I’m facing carpal tunnel issues
That’s the worst thing I’ve heard Lindsay say about the Panthers: “If they get back into this thing” in a 1-0 game. Ouch…

Broadcasters were right on that one. Lousy stinking first shot by Tootoo.

Buffalo
has scored FIVE on Carolina in the third; 5-1 BUF. When are the changed coming with the Raleigh Wreckage?
This could about do it for Jim Rutherford’s GM run. What’s left? can’t fire Maurice again…he doesn’t compile the talent.

Let’s go, Whalers!!! Dun, dun, dun dun dun!

Ouch
They blew a three-goal lead last night to lose 6-4 to Atlanta. Hrmm… Sounds familiar…

Big changes coming in the Triangle. Have to be. Karmanos isn’t gonna deal with much longer.

It’s tough because he and Rutherford have been friends/partners for decades. Hell, doesn’t Jimmy own 10% of the club?

If by that you mean a slice of pumpkin pie and a slice of apple pie on the same plate. yes, just yesterday.

No. Cooked together, one on top of the other.

No, but there used to be a dynamite ice cream shop on Atlantic that made a wonderful Pumpkin Ice Cream this time of year.
Coldstone Creamery? Where they sing and shit?

Typical NHL…tried to watch on GameCenterLive! nd it’s telling me to watch it locally. Meh.

And two more Wales Conference teams gain points. Lovely.

AROUND THE SE...
WAS beats MTL 4-3 (SO)
BUF beats CAR 5-1 (still can’t believe this one)
ATL shuts out PHI 1-0 (sick)

No freebies in this division.

At least we’re better on the penalty kill than the power play.

Game’s over. That was weak.

That’s my quote of the night. Resume your regularly scheduled programming.

After 16 years of having a terrible power play, you’d figure our management would petition for a rule change to decline penalties.
Or fire the guy responsible and get someone new running the power play…

Would have bought a nice second-liner, I’d bet

Oh well, Hotlanta on Monday. See if we can get back into it and act like we really want to win instead of going through the motions.
And we’ll be there for every exciting moment. Ugh.
