I'm not making any judgements. There was a time when Lucic was backing off a lot of fights. It was rumoured the Bruins coaches told him not to, as they needed him on the ice. Backing down from a fight can be the right thing to do.

I loved that Weber was man enough to stand up for a teammate last night, but at the same time, it sucks to lose a defenseman for 17 minutes due to penalties. If he had to do it all over again though, I wouldn't want him to change his decision.

Let's talk about something real, like is Ron Rolston ready to be called up from the minors?

That's the problem with reputations. They're not usually very accurate.

I wouldn't say that. They may not be 100% accurate, and are often exaggerated, but there is almost always a reason for them.

He was forced to change his game or quit hockey .. Refs had eyes on him and called everything . once he got back to playing hockey . He has been an asset. He really can play. great PKer and does have some hockey sense. but his tag lives on by the the other teams fans that don't see him play all the time .

He actually has some pretty decent hands when he gets the opportunity. I'm pretty sure half of his goals have been scored on Lundqvist though.

Yeah, like it or not, fighting is a part of the game, and guys that can scrap are required. You don't have them, and you're team will get walked all over.

They're usually based on something that stands out, even if it was only a one time thing. That's why they're not all that accurate.

Don't remind us

no facts here to go on- just a foggy memory- but i dont think he has ran and hide in a while. he used to for sure- because he felt that was the job- agitate, draw the 2, job well done.

and while that is the job to an extent- ruff has mentored him while here and helped him realize that there are times when you have to drop him, and times when you dont...

I don't know. I can't say I keep track of the timeframe of Kaleta's fights, turtles, and games of hide and go seek.

He's not actually a Preds fan. He's a leafs fan. He's probably seen as much of the Preds this year as you have.

Faceoffs are overrated. I just think this team needs a shock to the system. It's time for Lindy to go.

Gonna guess he doesn't care.


He might have a thought on seguin and Hamilton though.

Tomorrow's game should be interesting. I'm wondering what Bruins decide to show up. The bullies or a normal NHL team. My guess is option 2. It's not as much fun to bully someone who is capable of defending themselves.

As much as I am a fan of the Preds organization, I'm Toronto born and raised, and lifelong Leaf fan. The Preds thing is there from an incident a while back. Kind of a joke, and I just never switched it back. One of the Flyers bloggers made a comment about the Preds, and the Preds fans on the board got together and stormed a Flyers blog. I joined them.

Day late dollar short on this thought. He should've been fired afte 07/08 IMO.

I thought maybe it was a shame thing.

thats so 5 years ago. Pegs won't let him go so we are stuck with what we got .

Damn I'm starting to feel like a Leafs fan minus the no playoffs in like FOREVER !

Funny enough, with centre ice for free, and me compensating for hockey withdrawal, I've seen probably about 25 NHL games since the season started, and yet, not a single Preds game so far.

He's about the only one that can.

Just about every regular on the boards knows I'm a Leafs fan, so I don't see what difference it makes.

I can understand why. I've done the same thing, and that's one of the teams I've yet to see as well. Probably a good thing since they're not looking so good so far.

Also possible the Sabres play lights out and win with out a problem . Then lose the next 2
