I would like the hockey media to forget about us again so I don't have to keep seeing really insulting articles like it's 1998.

I would also like someone to take Subban on a tour of the non-embarrassing parts of the city.

Speaking of Subban, I came here to post this! It is utterly delightful.

THIS GUY. The Carey reference was a sad reminder though :(

na

To be bit dramatic, I feel like this trade still hasn't quite hit me and it will all catch up to me when I see Carey without him on the ice.

Sorry, what Carey reference? I've watched it twice and missed it both times and feel dim. :(

NA, but I think they were talking about this, which wasn't in the video: http://faulker.tumblr.com/post/147561951265/smashville-baby

Whoops, I assumed the link here was the same as the video I'd seen on twitter, my bad!

This is going to be the worst parts of the Jones draft and the Forsberg trade all mushed into one and turned up to eleven.

*cry*

Yeah I'm excited for PK but I'm already tired of all the "THIS will get people in Nashville excited" stuff as if it's still early Trotz-era Preds and there's no exciting players already on the team.

But I guess it's not everyone, some of the writers do have more nuance with how they talk about his stardom.

I don't think it's a knock on the players already on the team. Subban's one of the most exciting players in the entire NHL.

And Shea Weber has a batshit crazy-awesome slapshot but is generally known as the most boring NHL player on earth.

Re: Hopes, wishes and dreams for 16/17

I think every time Wysh mentions Weber he complains about how interviewing him is like talking to drywall. Still plenty torn up about this trade.

Fuck yes. Tootsie's? Really?

The quote from Poile about Subban having been there one more time than him (>0) was the funniest quote I've heard this week.

Re: Hopes, wishes and dreams for 16/17

[(Anonymous)]

So Poile considers himself a local now. Great! He should beautify the city and trade Ribeiro. Maybe Bergevin will do him a 1 for 1 trade for Galchenyuk. It's the SUMMER OF ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN!

Poile has lived in Nashville for what, 19 years?
