After a crappy loss to the Kings in overtime only got the team one point and then thoughtfully beating the Sharks around, Anaheim is going to get a Nashville team that is pretty hot as of late, 4 wins in a row. They beat the Kings 6-3 at the Staples Center yesterday and I watched a little of that and Forsberg looked very good, he was all over the place and had all kinds of room. Who wants to bet that the shutdown line and the defensemen wont give him any room to pull any of his shenanigans.

The Sharks looked awful and have looked awful for at least a couple weeks, if they don’t tighten that ship up, Bill Guerin is going home early and all was lost for that deal. My bet is, they don’t get everything sewn up in time and fizzle out, just call it a hunch. They don’t really have a guy who can bring it all together in the locker room.

Nashville though, that is another story, my bet is that they are going to be a tough out. Like a good contact hitter who will go 10-12 pitches, fouling them off until he gets his pitch. Forsberg has got to give them that confidence, that extra little boost that this team needs. I also believe that the Ducks are going to shut them down tommorow and bring that back to reality. Every line is playing well and contributing and Ryan Getzalf is a stud on skates, he is going to be a great player next year and down the line.

If my what I see in my head comes to reality, Anaheim will battle one out with the best in the West and bring the Predators back to reality. This is the last time these teams play each other in the regular season. Lets hope it’s a statement night, should be physical.

Jots and Jabs:

I wonder if Shea Weber wants to fight Travis Moen again?

Vitaly Vishnevski is comig back to town after being traded from Atlanta to Nashville a while ago.
