The Nashville Predators dropped a tough 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres at Bridgestone Arena in a game that featured some unusual nastiness for a regular season game with a team with limited history against each other. The Preds getting goals from David Legwand and Craig Smith to keep the game close, but in reality, it was your typical first game back from a long road trip.

Overwhelming the result of the game was what happened at the 15:54 mark of the second period, when… depending on what color your fan goggles are… Jordin Tootoo is…

- A punk who viciously ran Buffalo goaltender Ryan Miller and should be suspended for ten games (really, that is being written)

or

- A hard nosed player that was pushed into Miller and did all he could to avoid contact and has been punished enough.

OK… Discuss…

Now that we have that out of the way and each side is flamed for having their own opinion, let’s move on. Tootoo was quoted after the game that he expects to have a hearing on the situation. The Preds are back in action on Tuesday night against the Phoenix Coyotes.

Random Notes

- Another solid outing from Craig Smith, a nice goal to open the scoring for Nashville.

- Chicago took over the lead in the Central with their win over St. Louis on Saturday night.

- Very interesting realignment proposal over on Puck Daddy. Adding Winnipeg and Dallas, keeping the rest of the Central together is an interesting idea. Not sure how it relieves travel concerns, but is in interesting.

- The Board of Governors meeting begins Monday in California, with lots of controversial things on their agenda. Realignment, the Coyotes, the CBA… it’s going to be an interesting week.
