Jusse Saros became the ninth Predator goaltender to win a game for Nashville with that win.

Think about that for a moment. This team has been in the NHL since 1998 - and only nine men have won games in net for the team.

and only on their second headcoach too right?

Yep.

Meanwhile, Predators fans don't want to look at the scoring leaders for the Montreal Canadiens right now...

What, did Eichel get hurt again?

HCGLNS · Oct 26, 2016

Hypothesis: the performance of teams against the Leafs will predict the Stanley Cup contenders this year .

You wound me.

But no, we pulled a Leafs and blew a 3 goal 3rd period lead.

Hey! That's only happened in 4 of our 6 games!

It's only October.

Why did they get rid of Trots again?

Nice thing about the Weber trade is we get more Preds coverage now.

.

Everyone got extremely antsy about the not scoring goals stuff. I would have been fine keeping him forever, but I see why they went the Laviolette way.

jwhouk · Nov 4, 2016

It's not Trotz we miss. It's Korn.

HCGLNS · Nov 4, 2016

Columbus!

Covar · Nov 5, 2016

Those Nashville sweaters would look a lot better with a different logo.

jwhouk · Nov 5, 2016

I have no problem with them.

Covar · Nov 5, 2016

They're very yellow. Something about the logo just makes it that much more contrasting.

Things I think about while waiting for the canes to score.

HCGLNS · Nov 5, 2016

Oh for Fucks sake Kadri!

Wish the scrum hadn't cut the fight short. Kadri needed the beating.

jwhouk · Nov 6, 2016

Was that Kadri that ran Sedin?

Yeah, right to the noggin. It's 5-2 and everything is going your way, you just play out the clock. Don't take cheap shots.

Bah no further discipline.

jwhouk · Nov 6, 2016

Kadri will never be able to show his face in Vancouver again, though.

And he might not exactly want to do any international tours of Sweden anytime soon, either...

Thanks for not taking the players side in cheap shot just cause he plays for your team. Respect.

When we get through with getting rid of Evander Kane, can we ship out piece of shit Robyn lehner too?

Can't. I'm saying.

See: LA, CHI, MTL, PIT, TB vs TOR

HCGLNS · Nov 17, 2016

See this is why I hate the Toronto Maple Leafs, or more precisely the fucking Leafs focused hockey media in Canada.

I just learned today that Mike Fisher has played over 1000 games.

And only because it involved Ottawa giving him recognition tonight.

Yet he earned his silver stick last year.

jwhouk · Nov 17, 2016

Yep.

Glad we got a split in the province of Ontario, though.

An off-the-cuff question - who'd you rather be: Mike Fisher or Justin Verlander?

This is a legitimately difficult question. I like Fisher, like hockey, he's from my neck of the woods (like less than an hour from my home town), but I really don't know much about Verlander. Not a fan of the nude pics thing in general, or baseball, but he seems nice I guess. So this really boils down to, are the pro's of Upton enough to overcome the pro's of Fisher, or do the Con's of Underwood outweigh the Con's of Verlander?

May have to think about it some more.

Yesterday's tweet though was pretty fucking hot.

jwhouk · Nov 18, 2016

Yes, the question was essentially, "Do you want to wake up next to Carrie Underwood, or Kate Upton?"

Well that question is extremely simple. Kate Upton. no discussion required.

HCGLNS · Nov 22, 2016

Boo! NHL changes all star voting rules to avoid the fun from last year happening again.

blotsfan · Nov 22, 2016

I'm glad. The John Scott thing was fun but it doesn't need to happen every year.

blotsfan · Nov 22, 2016

The Vegas Golden Knights. Stupid name, but cool logo.
