Tonight's the Night!

Tonight is the night, matter of fact after this post I am turning the game on. Wish I was there-after over a year hockey is back.

For those who care, this hopefully will be a great year for the Preds!

Feel like I'm talking to myself-

 

Preds looked great tonight-defensemen flying up the ice, Kariya all over the place, a much improved team and DEFINITELY a very fast skating team.

Huge for them to get this first win in the first game.

Good job and good luck-they look like they'll be a fun team to watch.

Well, yes, you are talking to yourself. But I was there and oh how awesome it was. This is going to be a heck of a year for the Preds... a banner year, perhaps. It'll be fun to watch (or in my case, listen over the internet). GO PREDS!

It will be interesting to see if the officials contiinue to call the interference and hooking as close as they are now. If so the Preds will have a good year with speed on offense and defense. I did notice a problem in clearing the front of the net. Maybe this year we'll send some guys to the front of the goal.

I was at opening night....... What a rush!!!!! Took down a team that was one step from the Stanley Cup....... Didn't lose in the pre-season.......

 

 

This can be a big year. I thought the refs did a good job letting them play in the corners but not allowing the obstructions in open ice or allowing the pick plays. I didn't like the pre season....calling too many picky penalities..... Let 'em bang in the corners...not hold in the corners..... and keep the open ice open..... There was several times the Preds used speed to bounce the puck off the boards and go by the defenseman.... in the past the defenseman would hook, grab and obstruct. If the ice is left open, while allowing the physical play on the boards the game will be good.
