I've got us defeating Nashville. I can't believe how many people think we're going to lose. A lot of people had us losing to Phoenix two years in a row just beacause. We're healthy at the right time (besides Helm), and we could do some damage.

I have us defeating Nashville, and St. Louis, then losing to Vancouver. I just feel like we're too inconsistent.

Franzen needs to get going, but I really don't think he does. Got a line-up for tonight, DJH?

[Boom!]

Erat leading the Preds with 58 points...awesome.

Rooting for the Red Wings in this one. The Preds play a style of hockey that would most likely crush my Blackhawks if both were to move on...therefore Wings (I mean common, what a great track meet series that would be) are the team I want.

I can believe it.

The Predators play a very frustrating brand of hockey and with Rinne and the duo of Weber/Suter...they have a chance against virtually anyone.

I actually think that the Preds take this series but, as I stated earlier, am hoping the Wings do.

Looks like Helm and Cleary are in. Helm is huge. Cleary, I'd kinda rather have sit.

Here are tonight's anticipated lines and defense pairs:
Filppula-Zetterberg-Hudler
Franzen-Datsyuk-Bertuzzi
Miller-Helm-Cleary
Nyquist-Abdelkader-Holmstrom
Lidstrom-Ericsson
Kronwall-Stuart
Quincey-White
Howard (starting)
Conklin

Not set in stone as of yet, Bab's stated that he wasn't sure who's going to be on the 4th line
Nice to have Helm back.

I honestly would not mind Conner taking Abby's spot.

Ditto, I know he got called up, but I'm sure that was in case Helmer or Clears were out.

Thank the Lord Helmer's in, Hope he can shake the dust off in one length of the ice. I can see this series being a nail biter, like the series with SJ last year. I just wanna see the Wings win. That is all. Thanks.

[LionsFan..LOL]

I think the Wings will win (obviously) but as a fan I won't lie this series really makes me nervous.

[pidg88]

Im loving the Kronwalled sig haha...

Anyways yes this series scare the crap out of me...Honestly I would rather have faced any other team in the West

[DetWest54]

i cant believe Nyquist isnt in the lineup, rather have him the emmerton

[LionsFan..LOL]

****

[StealingSigns]

How is the Preds 4th line taking dominating so much? Jimmy is sure busy tonight... This game could be much worse than a one goal deficit...

[LionsFan..LOL]

This start sure isn't helping squash my nerves.

Also jesus more penalties!

[LionsFan..LOL]

7 penalties in the first lmao
