<p>James Neal tried to draw a bogus high-sticking penalty tonight, and, well, the ref was...not happy:</p>

<p>"F$%k you, you're getting a f*&^%$g penalty!" A+ props to that man.</p>
<p>Especially because of how dang nice that powerplay goal was immediately after. Whew.</p>

<p>With final exams right around the corner, I decided, responsibly if I do say so myself, that now would be a good time to start binge-watching <i>The Office</i> on Netflix. Hence why I asked such a non-hockey question to hockey fans.</p>
<p>So, uh, here ya go!</p>

<p>And finally, this beautiful Stanley moment is my contribution. It's fantastic, but that's just my humble and correct opinion.</p>

<p>Monday Monday Monday</p> <h3>Just The Facts:</h3>
<p><b>When</b>: 7:00 PM</p>
<p><b>Where</b>: TD Garden, Boston, Massachusetts</p>
<p><b>TV</b>: NESN, Fox Sports Tennessee (FSTN)</p>
<p><b>Radio</b>: 98.5 Sports Hub, FM 109.5 Big Tootin' Tommy's Country Sports Network</p>
<p><b>Rival SB Nation Site</b>: <a href="http://www.ontheforecheck.com/">On The Forecheck</a></p>
<h3><br></h3>
<h3>Game Notes:</h3>
<p>You know how Nashville always seems to be in the playoff hunt, no matter if they're employing the ageless corpses of <span>Jason Arnott</span> or Martin Gelinas or guys who still play in the league like journeyman <span>Cody Bass</span> and that <span>Erik Nystrom</span> guy who had a good year once? Well, they're doing it again.</p>
<p>Nashville sits 5th in the Central Division, owning a 13-8-1 record through their opening 22 games. They've struggled over their last 10 games (3-5-2), but that's nothing to get excited over – the <a href="https://www.ontheforecheck.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Predators</a> still employ <span>Pekka Rinne</span>, <span>Seth Jones</span> and <span>Filip Forsberg</span>, who are all very good at this hockey thing.</p>
<p>By the way, if you're at the game tonight, feel free to pelt human garbage <span>Mike Ribeiro</span> with a potato. I don't think security will object to the potato if you tell them it's a "holiday potato" and that it was a gift from your Aunt Jody.</p>
