Preds off to good start


Recommended Posts

Went to the opener Saturday night, and no, it wasn't to see Tootoo and Avery square off. During the first period, when Toots came off the bench, I turned to my buddy and said "Something is fixin' to get started," and WHAM- he runs over the first player he sees in a white jersey. Scrum at the net with Toots and all H-E- Double Hockey Sticks erupts. Hammy's "fight" was a real side show, and definitely not one to have him tossed.

 

Preds played good hockey all the way around. I will admit that I got a little concerned when Ellis let in the first shot he saw. . .

 

Raised some eyebrows that they beat the B-Hawks in their home opener. Columbus, Columbus, Dallas stretch will be VERY interesting.

 

Need to see some of the forwards start throwing pucks at the net. Best jersey I saw was a Radulov jersey with his name crossed out.

I was there Sat nite and the effort was great....totally different than the Blues game. 20 shots...when is the last time we gave up so few. We need that to happen a few more times. I was surprised Hammy and Avery were tossed....there had to be something more we did not see. Avery took the first swing, I saw that.

 

Was concerned at the beginning of the Chitago game as Ellis was great...but we rebounded and played well. Funny that the team everyone points to is off to a slow start and probably will have a goalie controversy now..LOL

 

Hope Arnott is OK...I do not believe we can survive many injuries this year.....it also appears our d men may score a lot.....

 

I usually do not bash leggy, but offensively, he must step it up. Erat isn't gonna score if Leggy doesn't play better.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
