B's have a meeting with the Predators


Dateline_nbc_gnash_medium

The Bruins are in Nashville for a Valentine's Day date with the Nashville Predators. The Bruins will look to end a 3 game skid (0-2-1), while the Predators will look to start a streak after beating the St. Louis Blues 4-3 on Thursday night. 

Just who are these Predators you speak of?


Nashville Predators 26-26-3; 55 pts (4th in Central, 12th in West

Nashville
C Radek Bonk: Questionable (Upper Body)

Notes:

- I would guess that Manny Fernandez will get the start tonight with games on back to back nights.

- Will we see Matt Hunwick back in the line up tonight?

- The Predators have struggled on the PP (13.9%, 3rd in NHL), but have been strong on the PK (84.5%, 5th in NHL).

- If the Predators end up moving to another city, will they be forced to go door to door to introduce themselves to their new neighbors?

- The Bruins should look to get on the board early. The Predators are undefeated when leading after the first period (12-0-0).

- The Bruins wingers will need to make sure they are covering the points tonight because Shea Weber can really blast it. If that doesn't work, they can always distract the Predators with lemonade and homemade cookies. Everyone knows predators can't resist baked goods.

- Usually this is where I link to an SBN blog, but SB Nation doesn't have a Nashville Predators blog. I'm guessing most people in Nashville think Hockey is an Islamic terrorist group.

- Game starts at 8:00, open thread starts at 7:00

That video is hilarious, I hadn’t seen that. That ice girl by the way actually plays hockey (notice the hockey skates instead of figure skates), and is a pretty good player.

More fun than a stick to the face!

It think we have all done that before, just not on TV.

When I was in high school, I used to work at a rink. Part of my job was being the skate guard during public skating. One day I forget to take the soakers off my skates and I completely bit it when I stepped on the ice.
