Predatory Leading



I have to imagine life for a Nashville Predators fan can be correctly described as surreal at times. Coming within an inch of Jim Balsillie's ego from moving to Hamilton, and remaining in the relocation whispers of naysayers even as new ownership takes hold. The "here today, gone 22 games later" of Peter Forsberg. Those third jerseys (yikes). So when the team beats an opponent called the Hurricanes, and fans have to then remain in the arena while deadly tornadoes blow by Nashville, I suppose it's just in keeping with the Predatory weirdness.

But it even gets more surreal: This Nashville team, despite all the adversity, is four points away from the four seed in the Western Conference after its national television Versus victory over Carolina last night. And the three reasons why the Preds were finally able to put one past a red-hot Cam Ward in the 1-0 victory just happen to also be the best line in hockey right now: JP Dumont, Jason Arnott and Alexander Radulov.

Re: Predatory Leading

I wonder if any late season hockey card set show Forsberg in a Pred jersey?...those things sometimes carry a premium. Like when Pizza went to the Marlins for 5 games...a handful of cards actually show him in the Marlin jersey...

Re: Predatory Leading

Hurricanes in a hockey city, whoever would have imagined it? but then, who would have imagined hockey in nashville.
That was some deadly hurricane.

I used to think Arnott was ready for pasture.

Re: Predatory Leading

I should correct that - those were some deadly hurricanes.
the pictures are horrifying.
We ended up being dumped with snow up here, nowhere near tragic.
