Pre-Game TAMPA!!!!!!!!
By Bethany | March 9, 2008
Alright, I wanted to go to this game, badly, but I still have yet to dig my car out. And, plus my quest to go to the grocery took about a half hour and normally it would take 10 minutes. Anyway, I have a few pre-game notes.
- Hitch held practice yesterday, according to Puck-Rakers, it was an eight minute practice. Hitch is pissed, and when Hitch is pissed we play better.
- No Peca or Freddy Mo tonight, at least according to the probable lines.
- Pazzy is in net…you’d think we’d put Norrena in and be like HA look what you lost…guess not.
- The top line is a Nash-Novotny-Vyborny line…interesting.
Tampa Bay is one of the worst teams in the NHL. They have a crappy defensive core (sorry Finny), but now they have Mike Smith, the cast off goalie from Dallas that they received for Richards…bad move by Dallas I think. Tampa did finally get rid of their “big three” so now who knows.
Here are the keys to todays game, courtesy of Rick Nash…
Really good checking.
In the corners, fight for the puck.
Centers need to win faceoffs.
Kill all the penalties.
Nash you need to score the first goal.
All pucks need to be thrown to the net, and thrown to the net early.
Sharp, crisp passes we struggled with this against Edmonton.
Hitch’s game plan…remember it and follow it (I’m pretty sure I say this every single pre-game, but, it’s true)

Ok, I will be there- although I have no idea what to expect after Friday and then the 8 minute practice.
If Nash doesn’t score in this game I will no longer sleep with his picture under my pillow
