What fine colors and logo would you recommend for a privileged man who has never started the playoffs without being able to watch his own team?

Preds and Caps are the teams to cheer for this year.


I do think that whomever wins the Preds va Hawks series is the team going to the cup finals.

You're forgetting the Sharks Leafs Oilers and Hawks

? I said whomever wins Preds vs Hawks. Also, The Leafs are in the east.

I guess I should specify: whomever wins Preds vs Hawks will be the western conference team in the finals. The Sharks haven't been playing well lately, and i don't think the other teams in the west would beat the either team in a series.

Oh, my bad.


Teams I want to win in order of rank:
Preds
Blues
Caps
Sharks
Jackets
Wild


And these teams I am actively rooting against: Pens, Hawks, Bruins and Canadians. Screw the Pens, Bruins and Hawks, and I don't want Montreal to get rewarded on the Subban trade.


The rest I'm indifferent to. I'm stubborn and think Preds have a good shot, maybe I'm being unrealistic. Blues I would love but i don't think they'll make it far if even out of the first round.

Late to Preds chat, but I've been to games in Philly, Nashville, St Louis and Chicago so far, and non have been close to Preds games. Great fans and the chants are actually great when you're there.

Torts took the CBJ from 8th to 3rd in the Metro and a gain of 30-some points.

I'm still figuring they might find a way to give it to Babcock Because Toronto. Weren't the Leafs expected to be a bubble team this season (i.e., they met expectations)?

They'll factor in Columbus crashing in the playoffs vs the maple leafs already making a decent showing.

Doc Emerick is great. And they had a short background documentary on him a year or so ago that was pretty good.

Pierre is awful, but so easy to make fun of. Bobby Ryan asking him "where am I from....cherry hill New Jersey" is easily going to be the best part of this years playoffs.

Most of the others blow. Gary Thorne never bothered me.


Edit: on a random note: the retail store I used to work at had John LeClair visit again today (he buys all his phones there). I was sad today I switched stores. I did sell his wife her last phone, so that is my closest hockey contact (I was to much of a pussy to bring up hockey).

From what I've seen of Nashville, it looks like a honky-tonk, country music version of Columbus, only the latter doesn't have any shrines celebrating the South.

e- I'm trying to validate this by looking through the photo gallery of things to do on VisitMusicCity.com and the photo slideshow is like that South Park parody alcohol ad: "Country! Music! Live music! Country music! Music that is country! A bar! Did you know there's country music here? Obscure hot chicken! Honky-tonk! Opryland! Midwest! Twang!" No mention of the psychopath riding the horse with his firearm, though.


Country is certainly a part of nashville, but it's really not the entire city at all. It's just the 5 blocks downtown and few blocks on 2nd and 3rd. Otherwise, it actually has a legit diverse amount of music.

I'm just saying, I lived there 5 years, I hate country, and just avoided country. And if you are forced to be downtown, or want to walk to a bar after the Preds game, it isn't anything groundbreaking, but Broadway Brewhouse is at least a normal bar in the sea of terrible country.

With the Preds going up 2-1 in the series, I figure I should put their chants that I know down so you have them.

Tell me if I miss any. For reference Paul is the Preds announcer.



Edit: forgot about the beginning of the game: at the beginning of the game Paul announces the opposing team starting lineup. The response is "SUCKS" the each player name, and then when Paul goes "coach whomever" the response is "HE SUCKS TOO."



When Preds score:

-Tim McGraw song

-Black keys "gold on the ceiling" with crowd chanting "hey! You suck!" 3 times. Then "we're gonna beat the hell out of you! You! You you you!"

-a few moments late: "that's 2! Thank you (goalie name), can we have another? He shoots, he scores, you suck!"

-then a few moments later: "(chants goalie name 3 times)." Then "You Suck! It's all your fault! it's all your fault! it's all your fault!"


When Nashville goes on a power play:

Paul goes "your Nashville Predators are (crowd joins in) ON.....THE....POWERPLAY!"



Penalty kill:

Paul announces the penalty, and Paul goes "(opposing team) is on the.....power play..." and crowd responds "and they still suck!"


Near end of he period, Paul will go "there's one minute left in the period" and the crowd responds "Thanks Paul!"


Edit 2: end of game if Preds win:
-"Hands go Up Song! "
-"Hey! You suck!" 3 times
- "we just beat the hell out of you! You! You you you!"


Other notes:
-The Preds organist is Krazy Kyle. He is awesome.
-Gnash is the best mascot
-Nashville is awesome.


Random hockey memory: i was there for a game where the Preds thanked Jason Arnott, and the Fans chanted a chant of "Arnott, Artoo," (get it?) which was a great chant as well.

make it so each playoff team can only get one loaned player, each non-playff team can only loan one player, and the compensation is predetermined as a conditional pick 2nd/1st (in that years draft if possible) depending on how far they get. the couple days between the end of the season and start of the playoffs would be :munch:

I've learned in the last 24 hours the Pens don't need a bunch of their guys and the Preds don't need Johansen and Fisher.

Preds must have taken notes from the Pens last year. Key to winning the Cup isn't your core team. It's having really good AHL/young players to replace your main injured players when they go down in the playoffs.

With all the talk of the Weber and Subban trade, no one has talked about what this series will show: who the real winner of the Neal and Hornquist trade are.

(Is Hornquist coming back this playoffs)?
