NBC sucks

God forbid you switch those of us in the NASHVILLE market over to the NASHVILLE Predators game instead of some golf tournament that exactly three people in this country care about. That is all.

The problem is that only 4 people care about hockey . . . but I get your point.

Well, if this was the regular season, I could understand. Problem is, this is an elimination game in the playoffs.

Calm down Emain

I was really ticked off for game 3 when the game was blacked out. It's a playoff game, the arena was sold out and stupid VS. channel went black once the game was starting. I guess it's too much to ask for Fox Sports Net to show a Preds playoff game but instead a Braves game in which there are 160 games left of baseball season.

If you're not from Middle Tennessee you wouldn't understand our pain. I never liked hockey until we got the Preds but I love that team now.

If FSN had anything to do with it, I'm sure they'd love to show a Stanley Cup Playoff game in the local market, but . . .

. . . and besides, the Braves are playing on Sports South today anyway. FSN is showing a riveting documentary on the career of Reggie Miller.

Hockey draws about as much as soccer. And I'm a soccer fan. So I understand the frustration.

I'm a hockey and soccer fan...so I guess I'm really screwed. Anyway cable in the dorms are out right now, so I missed the whole game regardless.

you didn't miss much. We played flatter than a flat-chested broad's chest.


Meh.

I'm tired of the "at least we made the playoffs, good for us" mentality of this team.

Turmoil or not, Trotz needs to go. 0-10 in road games in the playoffs, we didn't look like we belonged on the same ice as Detroit these last 2 games.

Sad thing is, we have no real forward prospects that look to crack the lineup.. expect more of Rich Peverley and Brandon Bochenski on our top 2 scoring lines.

We need a first line winger to play with Arnott and Dumont.

We need Erat to not disappear for 10 game stretches.
We need Dumont to not disappear for 10 game stretches.
We need Defensemen that will stand the other team up at the blue line.

Greg deVries needs to be released.
Greg Zanon needs to be released.
Ryan Suter needs to get his head out of his ass.

Dan Ellis needs to be resigned.
Chris Mason needs to be traded for whatever we can get.

That's all the venting I have right now.

[doozer]

considering what Trotz had to work with this year, be glad you made the playoffs. seriously, the Preds were garbage when the season started.

[KCVolLaw]

Alright, bear with me here Preds fans. I know the loss is still fresh on the mind but just a few questions.

1. Is there an official Preds thread? If not, we should make one. I've just gotten into hockey this year really and have yet to really claim allegiance to any team. But since I love the state of Tennessee and may be moving to Nashville soon, I may as well go ahead and start following the preds.

2. Seems like I've heard rumors of the team maybe leaving Nashville. Hopefully this is still not in the works. Anyone clear this up for me please?

3. I'm still a hockey noob so while I know the rules for the most part and such, it's a little less clear on players and coaches. Seems like Jonesey and many others are very knowledgeable. If we can get some good hockey talk going, I'm sure I could pick up pretty quickly.

[doozer]

if Jonesey was knowledgeable he'd realize that Trtoz is one of the best coaches in the league and would be without a job for about 45 seconds if the Preds cut him lose.
