NickA 39 Report post Posted April 16, 2012 Dave Strader (who many of us remember well) is covering the series for NBCSports. He reports that after the morning skate today the Preds were using the ping pong tables outside the dressing rooms to relax. Big Bert stepped out, told them that if they wanted to play ping-pong, they'd have to bring their own table; then he folded the table up and wheeled it into the Wings room. CLASSIC! follow Dave Strader on Twitter if thats your thing. @TheVoiceDS GO WINGS 36 King Crane, MulesWillFly93, roboturner and 33 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donaldjr2448 43 Report post Posted April 16, 2012 Figures a Preds clown would bring up some kind of rebuttal. Anyway, Love it Bert. That is absolutley AWESOME. Glad to see this team has some snarl now. Hopefully they watched the Philly/Pittsburgh game yesterday and took notes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted April 16, 2012 Actually Nashville is a very nice city. I've been there more than a few times. If you're looking for the capital* of Hickville....ever been to West Virginia? I have. The family trees there look like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree. They don't fork. I had to drive through WV to get to Illinois to bury my grandmother a couple years ago, and there were some places we went through that looked like the set of Deliverance. *capital is for places, Capitol is where our Congress meets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use to live in Nashville, its a DUMP! Trust me, it makes Flint look good. They just sweeten in up when big events come around. Really the only city in Tennessee that is worth a s*** is Chattanooga. Plenty to do there and its nice and clean and thats a far cry from what Nashville can offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted April 16, 2012 I've been to Chattanooga - very nice place. We drove up there a couple times to go to the aquarium. Also, we always used to stop at a Waffle House right outside of town to get breakfast when driving back up to Illinois. I've never been to Memphis, though I'd like to eventually.
