There is a reason Pommer is a minus player this year... I certainly wouldn't miss him were he moved at the deadline (but my disdain for his game is well documented across various threads on this board).

Good for Regehr stepping up for his teammates. Neal is a douche.

Where is the internal leadership on this team that we can continually blow leads and play disinterested second periods?

They are sooooo bad defensively... have been all year. If they're not scoring, they can be a liability.

Yep. He just doesn't seem interested in playing defense as of late. And, his linemates aren't much better.

Seriously pathetic play in our defensive zone. Pommer had a bad giveaway prior to that Ottawa goal. :censored:

Miller!!! :worthy:

Gerbe will punch Neal in the junk!

Neal v. Gerbe? :unsure:

Stafford from Hefty Smurf and Leo!

Yeah! ###### Drew scores!!!

Without the two 5-minute a game forwards in the lineup (Grigo, Scott), we are able to roll four lines. I'm a big fan of that strategy. When you roll four, fatigue becomes less of a factor defensively.

Yeah! The Leino line pays off! Ville with the assist on the 1st goal!

Vanek-Hodgson-Pommer Ott-Ennis-Leino Foligno-Porter-Flynn Gerbe-Hecht-Stafford Interesting set of lines. First time in a while that we can legitimately roll 4, I think.

Ville will score today... I sense it... :flirt:

Thank you for being a voice of reason. Grigo isn't playing because he isn't ready. No point in leaving him up with the big club to sit the bench or be a healthy scratch when we need the roster spot with Leino coming back. He'll now have one additional year before becoming a UFA. He got a bit of experience with the big club. And, it heightens the possibility of making a move for a center before the deadline. I think Darcy did the right thing today.

Goose is always injured and the Preds have some good young center prospects down on the farm in Milwaukee. Mike Latta will find his way onto the Preds 4th line sooner rather than later and Austin Watson will be up in the next year or two if they can find room for him. Taylor Beck is a really nice prospect for the Preds too at Right Wing.

Yeah, but Gerbe is WAAAAAY under 6 feet. :D

That is a shame. Only 25 years old. He fractured his skull after hitting the ice (after a hip check) and was not able to recover. 3rd generation NHLer, and the only NHL player ever from the state of Tennessee. I met him once - really nice kid.

Does Leino play the left side or right side? I can't remember... (hopefully right)

Normally I might believe this... but then I remember our GM is Darcy and he is incapable of such a decisive move. ...but not 'Kittens and Rainbows' Pommer?

I was embarrassed they were booing with the team winning in the third... I'm glad Ott said something. Pretty poor on the part of the "fans," especially considering it is one of the quietest barns in the league on most nights.
