Not all that surprised that Fisher winds up here in Nashville. He's been on record that he could see himself playing with the Preds at some point in his career.
Too bad this didn't happen a week ago. Each year the Preds have an annual charitable event; this year it is tonight and the theme is "GnashVegas" (basically, playing different casino games and what not). I wouldn't mind seeing Carrie Underwood up close and personal!

I just saw the clip of Rick DiPietro getting floored by Brent Johnson for the first time. That. Was. AWESOME.
Anyone know if there's an animated GIF of that floating around anywhere? I'm looking Google but all the links are to worthless Twitter archive garbage.

True, but I think there are enough Bruins around who remember the events of 2008 and 2009 to hold a grudge. And you have a fanbase who remembers the futility of playing the Habs last year and the various playoff frustrations between 1971 and 2008 - I think that bloodlust does play into it. i'm sure some of the players picked up on that. And 90% of Hockey East would still enjoy seeing Brian Gionta squashed like a bug or maybe that's just me.
Incidentally, OverinDovah is one of the more reasonable people here. Just saying...
I thought between Steve Sommers and jmh, someone would have an animation of DiPietro getting nailed. Sigh...

Re: 2010-2011 NHL Season Part II - Concussions Are Serious Business, Savvy?
Well thanks.
And your poinbt is well taken on the Bruins who have been around. I guess the Spaceks and Hamrliks of the world have to pay for the transgressions of the Komisareks and Lapierres.
At the end of the day, it's two points lost, and that's what's disappointing. Scoring 6 times on Thomas should be enough...especially when your 2nd line morphs into Darche-Desharnais-Pouliot.
As for Gionta...hated him when he was at BC. I had just finished grad school and was going to lots of games at UNH with my Dad (who used to post here many moons ago). It was very hard for me to stomach him going to the Habs...but he won me over with his play.
As an aside - it's always interesting to see someone reviled in one place celebrated in another. Such is the nature of sports. It kills me watching the younger Kostitsyn tear it up here in Nashville this year. I guarantee you that Andrei will do the same wherever he winds up next year too. The league is filled with younger ex-Canadiens' talent doing well (D'Agostini in St. Louis, O'Byrne in Colorado, Chipchura in Anaheim, Grabovski in Toronto, the aformentioned little Kostitsyn). That's a bit worrisome.

Sketchy rumors that the 'Hawks are in discussions with the Sabres to deal Kane and Turco in exchange for...
...Ryan Miller.
Take the rumor for what it's worth.

Please tell me not from Eklund.
That being said - that would be a major coup for Buffalo's new ownership group to bring home Kane. Buffalo does have a decent prospect in Enroth.
Aside: One of the reason's hockey in Nashville can be tough to take seriously...the Tennessean headline is, "Predators obtain Mike Fisher, Carrie Underwood's husband".

Bwahahaha! That would be hilarious.
Sidenote: I thought Kane was part of their "core?"

My next question, and I'm not trying to lead an anti-Southern expansion witchhunt (I'm just curious) - what would you say is the average attendance at a regular season Preds game not involving the Wings or the 'Hawks?

I don't even think it's this complicated. At the end of an already intense game, Travis Moen went after Ference and really set everything in motion.
Well thanks.

What, exactly, are you implying about the Police Academy movies?Unlike Janet Jones though, she actually has a career.
And honestly, did anyone really know who Mike Fisher was before he started seeing Carrie Underwood?

Well, that was unexpected. Of course, the tables will probably be turned at the Joe.

I'm guessing about 13,000. They're doing better this year,overall (last I checked - about a week ago - they were 20th in attendance). I am pretty sure tomorrow's game against the Avalanche is sold out. The Monday night games against Edmonton or Calgary don't help. With football over they'll draw better, too...between the Titans/UT/Vandy, it's tough for the first couple of months.

More silly stuff tonight between Pittsburgh and New York. I believe over 200 PIM, another fight involving Brent Johnson, and Eric Godard leaving the bench to fight (hello, 10 game suspension).
