Need some target practice for motivation. Where's our resident sharpshooter?

[ThirdManIn]

I'll text him now

Nothing quite as exciting as Detroit at Nashville in the playoffs! That series just has a different feeling to it, you can feel the tension in the air as if the enormity of the series is weighing on the arena. It's definitely a different feeling than San Jose, Anaheim or Vancouver. Chicago comes close but it's just not Detroit.

[Zetterbrunner]

Welp. I guess we'll see you guys next week.

Win or lose, should be a great series.

[ThirdManIn]

How crazy is it that we are facing the FIFTH SEED Red Wings? The first round is going to be insane for me. I'm a Pittsburgh fan, too. Nashville v Detroit. Pittsburgh v Philly

Flyers fan here

In that case... **** YOU!!

Kidding, obviously. Please don't report me

[Cashville]

Unbelievable rollercoaster of emotions during that game. One of my best friends is a Blackhawks fan and we were talking on the phone about figuring out tickets in Nashville near each other when DET scored the first goal.

[brah]

so we meet again...

[ThirdManIn]

After this series I'm going to go ahead and assume any Red Wings fan who doesn't recognize the Preds as a rival is a troll

Unethical? I don't care. This **** is going to be intense. I can't wait for real hockey

I agree. Those are the can't miss games!

[Firestorm]

One of the keys to the series:

Never ever EVER(!) leave Datsyuk alone by himself.

[hatedandproud]

well ........ this should be interesting.

[maplepred]

So we are guaranteed home ice? Are we going to rest rinne tonight?

GO PREDS!!!!!

[Dave is a killer]

I hope to god the Preds-Wings / Flyers-Pens isn't on the same nights

Yes and unknown, but one would think Rinne will sit and our scratches will get a lot of ice time tonight.

Maybe some of Greg Williams' Nashville connections can get him to offer a bounty on Datsyuk

[klt2001]

The key to this series is playing all 60 minutes cause the Redwings can score/make a comeback w/ 5 secs left in the game. So until it's 0 secs left in the game, the game isn't over against the Redwings.

[Jon Cusack]

Going to be a good series, cant wait for it. Game times start 7 central usually?

[Stranger]

This will be just like the second San Jose series. We have a good team but end up playing one of the stronger teams in the playoffs. Sounds like another first round exit. Detroit just knows how to win and are getting their guys back rested.

You are even more negative than I am.

Believe it or not, I think our chances are pretty good in this one. Like the series vs the ducks, I think they have higher end gamebreakers, but our depth is the best it's ever been, and I think goaltending will be the difference.

Hopefully Pekka doesn't need a round to get himself straight, like last season

At least we don't have SOB to take costly penalties and guarantee GA, this go round.

That was half a decade ago my friend. Completely different team with mostly completely different players.
