Hooray for facing teams that are considerably better than us.

I am looking forward to a 1 - 0 lost again.... NOT. Hopefully Bernier keeps the blind fold off for the whole game.

Nashville is 19-2-1 at home.

Someone wake me when it's October.

You don't find the trade deadline exciting?

Pekka Rinne is hurt.

And this guy is second in command?  Never heard of him.

Pekka Rinne is hurt.

And this guy is second in command?  Never heard of him.

He led the Predators in starts last season.

Not yet.  This dynamite has a long fuse.

5-2 Preds

Anyone else find it interesting that the Predators finally become a beast of the West the year that Trotz leaves?

The team has finally learned how to score. That helps!

Lets hope its not another 9-2 debacle. Or lets hope it is!

1-0 Preds... 13 shots total in the game. Do your self a favor and don't watch it.

They've gone from 19th to 7th in goals per game, that's a pretty big jump. Worth noting that their 2 leading scorers and their 2nd highest goal scorer were offseason acquisitions. I'm sure Laviolette has made beneficial changes system wise (my monthly reminder that I was practically begging the team to fire Carlyle and hire Laviolette at one point), but Trotz also never really had that type of firepower to work with.

That makes it sound like Trotz didn't have any success with them. They're on pace for 117 points this year which is only 7 points more than Trotz had in his best season there.

Well, I imagine this can't be any worse than their last meeting, so, progress?

Leafs/Preds tonight. Still can?t believe Nashville won the last meeting 9-2. That?s completely insane. I mean, Toronto scoring TWO goals?
