Only one goal by Nashville was scored on the PP... I just got back from the game and I must say that the refs were TERRIBLE for both teams. They made some absolutely ridiculous calls out there tonight.

This game should NOT be going to OT.... Nashville should have already won 4-2 (arguably 3-2).

Ahhh hockey is back and damn does it feel good. I'm glad to see that the hatred between Wings and Preds fan has not died down. Yes, Tootoo could have stepped back and squared off, but comparing this to the Robidas incident is downright retarded. Let's not blow this completely out of proportion, now...

You're right...that is wrong. You should have shut your mouth after that sentence. Who the hell wishes for someone to suffer a career ending injury? I've got no problem with people hating on another team or player, but what you said is just wrong.

The Tennessean is a joke. It's know as the "Titannssean" because all they care about is covering the Tennessee Titans.

How was that a sucker punch? Two guys jumped Hartnell, so Tootoo stepped in to help him out. But yes, Tootoo did get his ass kicked.

I love how we are now known as the worst cheapshotting team in the league. I understand that you all have always hated Tooto and Hartnell, but Radulov? That kid doesn't have a mean bone in his body... I also love how people were saying that San Jose was going to manhandle us with their size...and we've completely dominated them physically. I'm not talking about the incidents with Hartnell and Radulov either. I've been rooting for the Wings (reluctantly) because it's nice to see the Central division do well. It would also be great to meet up with the Wings again this year. I figured you guys would have the same mindset, but I guess not.

Is there an echo in here? I really don't think Hartnell was trying to cheap shot Cheechoo. He was going for a big hit (in a game that was full of them from both sides) and Cheechoo sidestepped him. Unfortunately their knees collided... It would really be unfortunate if this series turned into a series of retaliation. Because the moment people start going after Kariya, either Weber, Hordichuk, or Tootoo will be putting a fist-sized hole in their face.

Does anyone know if the Red Wings are going to be relocated after this season?!?!?! I just checked on TicketMaster and there are still tickets available for Game 1!

To say that Nashville is bad at drafting players is simply ignorant. Karlis Skrastins (9th) Denis Arkhipov (3rd) David Legwand (1st) Martin Erat (7th) Andrew Hutchinson (2nd) Adam Hall (2nd) Scott Hartnell (1st) Jordin Tootoo (4th) Dan Hamhuis (1st) Scottie Upshall (1st) Shea Weaber (2nd) Kevin Klein (2nd) Ryan Suter (1st) Pekka Rinne (8th) Alexander Radulov (1st) Cody Franson (3rd) Teemu Laakso (3rd) Ryan Parent (1st) David Poile has made some remarkable draft picks. And the reason we were able to ACQUIRE some great players was because we had an abundance of great prospects that we DRAFTED. 1/4 of our current players were DRAFTED by the Predators. Where the heck did you come up with this garbage theory?

? Nashville is facing the Sharks. Dallas can't leapfrog the Sharks. Vancouver will be playing Dallas.

I'm not really sure why any of you think that San Jose is going to wax Nashville. Predators vs Sharks (Preds win 4-3) Sharks vs Predators (Sharks win 3-1) Predators vs Sharks (Preds win 5-0) Sharks vs Predators (Preds win 4-3) Nashville won the season series 3-1 with a goal differential of 14-9. I can't wait for a rematch of last year's first round. Even with Sullivan out, we are a COMPLETELY different team. With the addition of Arnott, Dumont, and Forsberg, look for the Preds to win this series in 6 games.

s***.

I also agree with those who believe that points shouldn't be awarded for losing. Being rewarded for losing will never make sense to me, I guess. But here is how this season would have looked without OT points. I'm predicting a Nashville win tonight. If Nashville lost tonight, then the tiebreaker would go to Detroit because of the 6-2 series win. BUFFALO 53-28 (106 points) NASHVILLE 51-31 (102 points) DETROIT 50-32 (100 points)
