Wait, Miller got put on IR. Depending on how long he's out... I hate to say these injuries benefit the Preds, but I don't think I have to say it.

O rly? I don't really follow them that much. Is Miller getting old, or is Lack that good? Or some combo of both?

A mix. Miller isn't Vancouver Olympics Miller, hasn't been for a while, and Lack is an above average keeper. Not elite by any means, but just as serviceable as the starters on several playoff teams.

Unbalanced D-pairs present problems:


It looks like Predators defenseman Seth Jones will switch sides of the rink and pair with Ryan Ellis when the latter returns from his lower-body injury.

Jones is a right-hander and has played on the right side for most of his first two years in the league. But he did play on the left a fair amount in the early portion of the 2013-14 season.
He was on the left side again Wednesday during a number of practice drills, with Ellis – also a right-hander – on the right side.
"It was a little confusing at first because I've been playing right all year, so there were a couple times I felt myself drifting toward the right and (Ellis) was like, `Where ya' going?' " Jones said. "But we'll be fine in the game. I just have to get used to it a little bit.
"It has some pros and cons to it. I've played pretty well there. Sometimes you get caught in situations where you have to use your backhand a little bit more. But other than that, I honestly think you can see the ice a little better because you're more opened up to the middle. I'm pretty comfortable with it."

Tough game. Minnesota was able to shut down our aggressive Forecheck and get the win. Defense looked out of position at times tonight, but hopefully that will.be corrected Next game.

Having a 5 point lead over the entire league? Yeah such a long way to go.

I'm not saying we're gonna win the cup but it's hard to argue with what Nashville has done this year when everybody was predicting a drop off.

Haha dear God.

I will be yelling Red Wings suck in person today. Even though they are in the east now, this is always a measuring stick game. Gonna be a good one.

Absolute guarantee to win the cup in 2015:

Kovalchuk-Datsyuk-Jagr

Ovechkin-Crosby-Malkin

Kariya-Foppa-Selanne

D.Sedin-H.Sedin-Iginla


Lidstrom-Doughty

Suter-Weber

Chara-Karlsson


Rinne

Price


HC: Lavy (just let them play)


The can of worms is how would players like Orr or even Gretzky fare in today's NHL. I don't know so I didn't include them, but I suspect they'd be way out of their element.

Revision:


Stamkos-Crosby-Jagr

Toews-Sakic-Malkin

Kovalchuk-Datsyuk-Iginla

Kariya-Forsberg-Selanne


Lidstrom-Doughty

Keith-Weber

Chara-Karlsson


Hasek

Price


HC: Babcock


I apologize for Karlsson, if just one of Pronger, Neidermayer, Suter, etc. were a right hand shot he wouldn't have a place but at least he complements Chara well.

Hell of a lot of luck to start 41-14 or whatever it was....

I'm willing to bet a very high % of the league loses three in a row at some point in the season.

If we double this streak then even I will start double foot stomping (pumping) the brakes.
