Dear Mr Kronwall, When you play the Pens for the Cup, will you please hit Cindy Crosby as often as you can. I want to see him cry like a baby!! Sincerely, A Preds fan who will be rooting for the Wings

Dear Cindy

Not anymore retarded than anyone else!!!

This is my favorite

'They will if they play the Preds. Hate to say that about my own team, but that has been our record - One and done. I always love the Wings-Preds games. They always (almost) go right down to the last second. We'll meet again next week I think.

Who's Mason? Sorry about that no goal - I wouldn't have even reviewed that one! I thought it was a goal! I love the Detroit-Nashville games. Never a dull moment!

I think it was on this thread that someone mentioned wanting the pregame video about the rivalry. This is one that someone got on their video camera - it's not the best but it is the video. If you want the real thing, check out the Preds TV link on our boards. The Preds front office said they are trying to get the rights to post it there. So check there in 3-5 days for the real thing. Hopefully this will hold you over.

The trick to scalpers (at least here in Nashville) is to wait until the opening puck drops. By that time the scalpers willing to take just about anything so they don't lose all their money. A friend of mine got a $70.00 ticket in the lower bowl for $10.00.

Where does everybody get the idea that Detroit was an original six team? The NHL was formed in 1917 and Detroit didn't come into existance until 1926 when they bought the Victoria Cougars (?). Then it was still 10 years before Detroit won a Stanley Cup. As for the move to Hamilton Ontario - Jim Ballsillie shot himself in the foot with that one. He set up a website for the "Hamilton" Predators and starting taking downpayments for season tickets before he had ever presented an offer to the NHL. And the goofy people up there actually gave him money!! And as someone said before, most of the season tickets belong to individuals, not corporations.

I had some nice Wing fans sitting around me too. At least for the first period and a half. They all left at about the 12 min. mark in the 2nd. I thought true fans stayed to the bitter end of the games. I know I stay for the Preds routings! Believe me we have had a few! As for the Suck chants you are preaching to the choir. I think they are over done too. We (meaning me and several around me) quit doing it when the toddler behind us started to repeat us. It came out "Ew Tuck" but we knew what he was trying to say. The jobs comment was not called for, we have about 50,000 unemployed here in Davidson County - including me! We have our problems too. Did any of you sit in section 323 row B or C?

What sound do we make? I've been a season ticket holder for 10 years and the only thing I know of after a goal is singing "I Like It I love it". Also explain to me why Nashville shouldn't have a team? We already have pro football, semi-pro basketball, about 15-16 high school teams, adult hockey leagues at 2 rinks that have a waiting list for teams wanting to play, youth hockey leagues with 5-6,000 kids not to mention 3 roller hockey rinks with thousand of kids playing. And you think this is not a hockey towm?

Hey Ovie - That's no way to treat a former Pred!!! Knock it off! Heward also too a skate to the face from Modano

You don't call Iginla, Laperrier, Barch, O'brien or Staubitz big?

I'm sorry you have lost one of your great fans. We have lost a couple here too. Ms. Eudora was great. I'm not really sure she knew what was going on - she was pretty expressionless which made her even funnier. They would put the camera on her and she would have a sign that read "Ryan Suter is a hottie" or "you wanna piece of me??" Her son had made up a bunch of them. I believe she was about 86 when she passed too. The second death was Swamprat. He always wore a hard hat with a revolving red light on the top. Every time the Preds scored that light would be flashing. He also had one of the best Trollguns for the posters from other team who came to the discussion boards to cause trouble. We miss them both.

You didn't miss anything. The one thing no one has mentioned is how chicken#### #12 grabs Tootoo by the jersey while he is down and pulls him inbetween himself and the other players like a line he's drawn a line in the sand. So what is up with Chelios? I was disappointed that he didn't play here in Nashville last week. I know everyone here chants "Chelios is a sissy" but I am not one of them. I think he is a great player and a great person. I've always enjoyed watching him play. Our most hated player here now is Joe Thornton. Next time the Wings play the Sharks will you have someone take care of him please?

I don't think anyone here in Nashville actually "hates" the Wings - it's just fun to taunt the fans who come here to the games. There were a couple of girls here Friday night that were really obnoxious - even after the Wings lost to the lowly Preds. We (or some fans - not me) call Chelios a sissy and say the other players **** (if you have been here you know what I mean) but it is all in fun - I really respect the Wings and I love watching Chelios play. I was disappointed when he wasn't in the lineup Friday night.

The Nashville Boards are more upset about Radulov than Del Baggio. What is your opinion of Radulov leaving before his contract is up? And what do you think that other young Russian players in the NHL might do if they get a big offer like his? And will teams draft young Russian players knowing that at any time they can just pack up and go home? I realize there is a new agreement in the works about not making offers to either side for anyone who has a contract in effect - but do you think this will really work?

I have a case of the "what if's" regarding our team and the playoffs. I think they did a super job getting to the playoffs this year. But how different would the outcome have been with Sullivan, Ortmeyer and Gelinas in the lineup?

Quite true! Jordin is an Inuit. And he looks just like his father.

Good question. You need to ask this on the Preds boards. There are several statheads over there that can answer almost anything like that. sorry about the double post - Mods delete one please

WOW!!! Positive things about Tennessee!!!!! How nice! Usually all we hear is we are a bunch of toothless hicks that are all related to each other!! All of you are welcome to visit anytime - and spend your money. I think I said it another thread, but tourism is the reason we don't have a state income tax. Thank you! Hillbilly - don't let Chelios know that is your screen name since he called us all hillbillies on the radio. You know I thought he was a real standup guy. The last regular season game here a little girl not far from the Wings bench took a puck to the head. He made sure she had a towel to help stop the bleeding and he even gave her one of his sticks as she was leaving for medical attention. I thought "wow he is a good guy" Now after those hillbilly comments I'm not so sure.What is the real story with him? By the way - great series!!! Bet you never thought it would go 6 games!

I signed your petition to keep the "octopus twirling" I don't want to lose the catfish toss here. THe story about the catfish is an old one. The Sommet center is just a few blocks from the Cumberland river which is full of catfish. There used to be stockyards along the river that would dump their unusable leftovers in the river - thus attracting the catfish. There were stories that there were catfish in the river the size of a '57 Cadillac. Also several years ago Metro Nashville sponsored an art project for local artists who painted statues of catfish. I know most of you will think this is pretty silly, but it was a community project. farm raised catfish Catsup If you have never tried fried (farmraised) catfish you don't know what you are missing!!!!

Kid Rock has a condo in Nashville. He has also changed his management team to a Nashville firm. And I know for a fact he was there last night. And will probably be there tomorrow night if he is in town. He wears a Preds jersey to our games.

And if the Preds win tomorrow? You'll be back here on Sunday. re: fang fingers - it gets on my nerves too sometimes. Tootoo whistles are ok. Now a question for those who traveled down here for the games. At Least I'm assuming the people in the pictures in the freep are from Detroit. Detroit fans seem pretty dull at the Joe. The Sommet center was about to blow the roof off. Which atmosphere do you like better and why?

After a hit by Tootoo thanks for the link to the animation site!!
