    pred why don't you get me up to speed on what's up this year

    i quit watching the preds after Radulov went full retard going to Russia, and Trotz was a hockey version of Fisher so I may be inclined to finally pay attention once again.. now that all 3 geezers are gone from TN.

    when you say Sully.. are you talking about Steve Sullivan

    New coach. Coach Laviolette. He's the complete opposite of a Trotzy or Fisher. He coached the Flyers before he joined the Preds, so he's coming from a very strong hockey market. He's known for taking crappy offenses and turning them into top 5's.

    Alot of people call Sullivan Sully. In the NHL, it seems like every player has a nickname. No one, especially the players, really ever calls them by their full name.

    James Neal is known as one of the best snipers/scorers in the league. He's pure offense, something the Preds have lacked since they expanded into the NHL. Should be fun to watch.

    Overall it will be a fun year in Nashville for hockey, mainly because it's a completely new start, something this team has never had. It will also be the first time we have a coach that pushes every forward up the ice to try to score, instead of chasing and dumping like Trotz did. If all works well, it will be the most exciting team this franchise has seen. Ever.

    Can't wait. It will be another roller coaster season.

    lol yeah Steve Sullivan. I'm pretty sure he's going to retire. He played a little for the Devils last season, but he's at the end of the road in his career. Playing over 1000 NHL games is quite an accomplishment.

    Can't wait for hockey season. Wish there was as good of a preds forum as Gotitans is for the titans. But there's nothing but OTF. And that's not a community like here.

    Glad to see the big roster turnaround.

    All they need to do now is get rid of the expensive Gaustad, and the funny class clown who sucks at hockey, Rich Clune, and they'll be set.


    Hope Calle Jarnkrok becomes the player he showed flashes of being last year.

    And if Smith keeps current pace, and Wilson turns it on, they could be pretty good this year. Plus, between Roy, Neal, ribeiro, jokinen... Somebody has to Have a decent year of those.

    He had a couple I know when he played in Nashville.

    I visit the Preds forum at HF Boards. But you're right, there isn't really a good one. I'm actually planning on getting one started (no idea if it will take off or not). I've got a website i'm designing/developing right now for a Preds twitter account I run, and it will have a forum and all sorts of goodies.

    Cool! Let me know. The official preds board was horrible. Felt bad for the members who tried to make it go.

    Yeah, it never gained support. They're in the process of revamping it right now, but the design team in the front office isn't the best in the world, so who knows.

    LET'S GO PREDATORS!

    Please, have the Preds coaching/roster turnaround be more successful than the Titans.

    Can't wait for the season!
