The Columbus Blue Jackets have been referring to the Nashville Predators as the Evil Empire for years now. Where have you been?

Yeah, but they wouldn't have been booed for that last year. I guess the honeymoon is already over.

These guys suck...

The only thing Fisher did wrong on that was he didn't hit Mason harder!!!

that was some bad officiating. the team seems to have some confidence that goes along with Erat getting off the snide. I'm starting to like Mr Butler. I have started noticing him when he is on the ice for good things.

also glad Trotz is giving Beck a chance instead of burying him on the 4th line for 4 minutes a night like he used to do with rookies.

Agree, agree (on both points). Impressed with Butler and Beck thus far.

Enjoyable game to watch, well 1st period anyway . Preds were flying all over the ice. The young guys are really bringing some energy to the team.
