Preds talk

[head1]

Jagr rumored to be going back.

Jagr is a shell of his former self.

[Midfielder10]

says the guy who believes Tootoo has no offensive touch.

Ryan Jones is going to be a good player. I'm glad we dumped Zidlicky. We are in good financial shape. The Red Wings and Blackhawks will be in cap hell in a few years

[doozer]

yeah, his 45 career points in 232 games and a career -16 sure are great indicators of an offensive player. especially worthy of note are his 2 PPG and 1 PPA in that time.

Tootoo is a popular player among the fans which often leads to overblown hype about his ability. see also: Sean Avery

Jagr's goal and assist numbers have dropped off the last 3 years. however, he's played in all 82 games the last three years, so that has to count for something.

18 points in 63 games playing on a third line with radek bonk and jerred smithson is pretty damn good if you know your hockey, which you seem to....not.

Agreed- he's an old dog just like Roenick.

pretty damn good is not having a -8 for the year and averaging .28 points a game. although, compared to his career mark of .19 points per game, you could say he was better.

the guy isn't on the ice because he can score goals. he's the Sean Avery of the Nashville Predators. when he's on your team you love him, but really in the minds of most fans elsewhere, he's overrated.

and i think i've probably forgot more about hockey than you know, so don't come at me with that nonsense.

[Midfielder10]

I bet you I played hockey longer than you have followed it. Sean Avery is not overrated, well he is now with that monster contract. But he has intangibles through the roof like Tootoo. Tootoo will get the other team to take a dumb penalty 9/10 times he gets physical.

[Midfielder10]

like i said. Look at Tootoo's linemates. When he came up and played on the second and first lines for a few games with Arnott and Dumont he was tearing it up.

thank for saying what i've been trying get across the whole time. he's not on the ice because of his offensive skills. he's on the ice to bait the other team.

which is it? he's on the ice because he can score or because he gets under the skin of the other team? he's certainly not one of those guys who can score AND kick ass/instigate.

you played hockey for 6 months? i'm fairly confident i've been following longer than that.

Go.... Thrashers?!

Yeah, but we finished second to last in the league this year

I'm anxious to see how our new coach will fare.

[doozer]

but made the playoffs the year before. you have to crawl before you can walk. i don't keep up with the Thrashers much, but i'd say having the All Star game down there was sure to help bring some excitement. or was it blown off like all other sports in Atlanta?
