#4 Nashville Predators vs. #3 Phoenix Coyotes

[Barrie 900]

The only number I care about with this series will be the Nielsen Ratings. This has disaster written all over it!

This series is gross..

I won't be watching any of it, there's real matchups to be viewed.

I'm not sure why so many of you think this is going to be a dull series. I plan on watching as much of it as I can

Both teams have a very defense-first oriented style. They pretty much sit back and wait for the other team to make mistakes and capitalize on them. Typically not much offensive pressure. Sure they will have offense here and there based on game momentum, but it's going to be primarily defense. It's probably going to be a game of "Let's see who makes a mistake dumping the puck in."

Sounds like the 2003 Ducks and 2006 Oilers.

the excitement in this series will probably be equivalent to the excitement of miracle whip vs no name brand mayonnaise

So who's the mayonnaise?

So who's the mayonnaise?

id say phoenix, because nashville still has its superstars in rinne, weber, suter, and radulov is a guy to watch

Not so fast...Mike Smith is really starting to make a name for himself.

This series is a no-win situation for me. If you held a gun to my head, I'd have to hope for less failure for Phoenix, but if a weird equipment-eating virus struck and they were unable to play, I would be much happier.

[Majsheppard 203]

Both teams will feature a player soon to be a Red Wing. lol... prob not.

[Dabura 12,207]

Lets Go Coyotes

[Dirty Dangle 83]

A little over 3 hours to go!

[8 Legged RedWing 367]

I'll watch it here and there. Phoenix could give Nashville trouble. I'll be rooting for the dogs.

Oh swell. Hadn't thought of it that way. Your description reminds me of Minnesota and Whoever a few years back.

If they're cheap enough, why not? Hockey is hockey and this is playoff hockey.
