Paul McCann: Game Night - Nashville Adds a Big D-Man in Big D

Gotta get back on the winning roll tonight! Amazing how quickly Detroit and St. Louis have stretched it a bit; and, don't look now ... Chicago has seemingly awakened from their slumber and now only sit 3 back.

Between the Western pace and the Trade Deadline speculation ... sheesh

ETA: oh, and FIRST

Anxious to see how Big Hal looks tonight. I hope he keeps Dallas out of our net at the end of periods .

It's amazing how one single loss will do that in this division. What I'm more amazed with is that Chicago is anywhere near the Preds after a 9 game slide. Sheesh!

I'm interested to see how Trotz uses him. Does he get minutes or is he used sparingly and mainly on PK?

He is 37, so the latter is a better idea than the former.

He is at his best on the pk and in the playoffs, where the referees let a few things go.

I wonder what Hal thinks about a back-up goalie taller than himself?

Nick Cotsonika on Yahoo Sports has a good article on the Preds going all in this year.
Hal Gill is a big add, but who is the veteran scoring forward everyone says DP is pineing for, is this likely or remotely possible at best?

I think it's time for Weber to grow...."The Beard" again. Fear the beard!

Now only 1 pt behind us. Preds better figure out how to beat Dallas. Quickly. Tonight would be a good time to start.

getting ready to drive to the arena, was here last year for Geoffrions first game now her for Gils first whom was traded for geoffrion. how the world turns. i hope we win tonight with the guys that are out for Dallas. we struggle so much down here though.

You behind the Dallas bench? Saw a guy behind their bench in an old school preds jersey (i.e. whites, but before the ones from last year)

Good to get the 2 points tonight. One thing is for sure, if you have high blood pressure or heart problems, I wouldn't recommend watching this team too much. They love to get a lead and nurse it just like they did tonight. Oh well, take the win and move on.

Ellis with just under 4 minutes of playing time. You guys think he'll get sent down when guys start coming off the IR?

Yep, DP won't let Ellis get near 40 games this year unless the preds make a deep run.

just got back. what is wrong with fisher?

I didn't see hardly any of this, but heard some on the radio. Apparently fisher was sick so we had to play against the Stars with 2 of our top 6 out and played with 7 D. Surprised we won really. But neeeded the win badly. I heard Hornqvist should be back on Tuesday so that'll be nice.

Gill looks huge out there.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. I was trying to figure which one was Gill during the beginning, didn't take too long to figure out. At one point he and Tootoo were right next to each other, needless to say it was funny.

it was funny listening to all the people in the stands keep saying he is huge and mean someone on the preds, goalies not included.

is it me or since the preds have been shaky since the all star break noticed that the old klein is back

It's not the old Klein. It's Suter pretending to be the old Klein.
