Heres what the Cellblock(section 303 at the GEC where the stupid chants come from) has to say about the upcoming games Tues and Wed
Cellmates and Predheads,
The Preds have now gotten points in 10 straight games (despite a rash of injuries), garnering 17 out of a possible 20 points. And with Detroit's loss to Boston yesterday, Nashville retains a 3 point lead over them while also maintaining the best recored in the Western Conference and best recored in the entire NHL.
With the Predators' 2-1 win over Columbus (which also completed an 8 game sweep of the season series), they are now 28 games over .500 for the first time in their history. You might recall that is the same amount of wins the Predators had in each of their first two seasons. Yet another indicator of how far this team has come in just 8 seasons, and a testament to the vision and patience of Leipold, Poile, and Trotz in sticking with "The Plan" to build from within. It is reaping huge benefits now.
This week is one of the most important in regular season history for the Predators with two games vs. Detroit (Tues./Wed.) and Saturday night vs. The Dallas Scars--a potential first round playoff opponent. It appears that Peter Forsberg and Steve Sullivan may be back in the line-up for these games--and it couldn't happen at a better time!
Just as we expect the Preds to bring their "A" game...so should we as fans. It's time to really get our lungs loosened up for the most important time of the hockey season. Let's let 'ER rip all night long starting with the Dead Things Tuesday!
TOP TEN REASONS THE DETROIT WING DINGS SUCK:
10. The city that brought us the Edsel, the Rambler, and the Pinto has to divert their shame to a "Hockey Town" moniker.
9. Red rhymes with Ted…and Nugent makes us ill.
8. Leipold is shipping in 20 million gallons of Visine to flush the GEC and get the red out!
7. They make more excuses than Lee Iococa.
6. Chelios and Schneider are still looking for walkers that have skates attached.
5. When they hit the ice, they look like a convention of department store Santas
4. The 8 legs of their octopus equals their cumulative IQ.
3. The color of their uni’s matches the shade of their lipstick.
2. A wing sticking out of a tire--no wonder the foreigners have built better automobiles.
1. Detroit is the Murder Capitol of the USA, but the Dead Things will get KILLED in Smashville!
MORE REASONS:
• Bill Lambier, Mark Aguire, Vinnie Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, John Salley, Dennis Rodman….
- Had the Japanese auto industry completely taken over the city, the team's name would've been pronounced "Led Rings."
