But seriously, some of you need to lighten up a bit. This is all in good fun.

Well neither does Franzen.

I thought about making that one

He's played great over the past few weeks.

I thought he's been great all year.

Rod Langway?

I was actually gonna use Dats first, but I then I thought Babcock brings a little Chris Hansen-creepiness vibe.

Haha. Nice! Great minds think alike my friend

I shall start this party off. It's not my best work, but I'm tired and don't really have much patience at the moment.

Alot of people have already declared we will destroy the Preds. However, this series will be alot closer than alot are predicting. The Preds have played us tough this year, and if we fall asleep, they can take advantage. As someone who follows the Preds, here's some keys to watch out for. -First and foremost: PLAY PHYSICAL! The Preds were shut down by SJ the past few years because the Sharks manhandled them physically. Fight for every puck, and make them fight for every inch of ice. -Dan Ellis has played brilliant at times this year. However, he has also been horribly inconsistent. If he gets any confidnce early, he could be the man that steals the series. If we get a bunch of quick goals, he can get rattled. -Watch out for Jan Hlavac. He's been one of the hottest Preds lately and he's settled in nicely with Bonk and Erat. -Match the Preds intensity, especially when they're at home. They feed off their crowd, and if the Energy line (Fiddler-Nichol-Tootoo) gets a few big hits, Wings need to respond with some big hits or a quick goal to take the fans back out of it. -And last but not least, avoid stupid mistakes. The Preds WILL capitalize if you give them a quality chance. Play smart, and don't rush any plays.

Legionaire, I live in Nashville, and I have bent over backwards defending the Nashville fans on this forum during my time here. Please don't prove me wrong in a span of two posts.

It's official: Wings vs. Preds.

It's very possible.

Franzen-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Samuelsson-Zetterberg-Franzen Cleary-Draper-Flipper Drake-Hartigan-Hudler Lids-Rafa Kronwall-Stuart Chelios-Lilja/Lebda Hasek Osgood at least to start with. I thought Franzen-Datsyuk-and Homer did really well when they were paired together earlier.

Yeah sucks for McCarty. First he gets benched in favor of a kid who turned pro 2 days ago. Now he gets benched in favor of Corazini's mom.

If you drive on 94 alot you'll appreciate this one.

Sometime has WAY too much free time on their hands.

I feel bad for Koppy. He was really starting to develop and Babs had been giving him more ice time, then this happens. Two devastating injuries in two years for the kid has gotta be tough. Hopefully the rest of our forwards can step it up come playoff time.

Kopecky hasn't really been given much of a chance to reach his full potential yet. But I agree that Abdy looks like he will have a promising young career if the Wings give him a chance.

Alot of Preds fans here would actually prefer to play Detroit over San Jose. Not because they think they can beat us, its just their sick of losing to San Jose.

Am I the only one who cried a little when the Terrelle Pryor ad came on?

I wish someone would make a thread like this for the Tigers.

Since when is Sammy considered young and unheralded?
