Tonights Game Plan for each player.

Thornton: Pass and skate like a God
Marleau: Skate like the wind, shoot with the force of a 100 men
Pavelski: Except passes cleanly, and 100% accuracy on your shoots
Couture: Play like you have been
Clowe: Play like a mad man, never loose a battle along the boards
Havlat: Jump over the boards cleanly, and don't get injured
Moore: stop blocking your own teams shots
Mitchell: speed, speed, shoot, don't pass & don't trip over blue line
Winnick: speed, puck control, win loose battles
TJ: get hit hard and get back up
Desjardin: Check, win battles, use your size
Ferriero: Don't go into corners, stay on your feet.

Boyle: don't shoot at players
Vlasic: don't change a thing
Burns: don't leave your feet
Murray: Play like the Dougnaunt, destroy all that enters
Demers: Pinch during correct times, pass like Coffee
Braun: May your shoots hit the net

Niemi: may the puck look like a beach ball for you
Griess: keep that beany clean & fresh

Winchester: eat some hotdogs, we need your tougness and size
Wingels: get healthy
Handzus: shave your head and facial hair, you might become faster
Vandermeer: put a Pred jersey on ur punching dummy, and beat the shit out of it.
White: call your family in NJ they miss you

btw Braun's shot is always on net. It just floats in like a butterfly.

Random stats/fun facts from Darin Stephens:

With his next win, Pekka Rinne will become the first 40-game winner in Predators history. The Maple Leafs have never had a 40-game winner.

The Predators entered the NHL in 1998-99. The Maple Leafs entered the League in its inaugural season, 1917-18, as the "Toronto Arenas".

Predators defeated Sharks in San Jose on Nov. 5 (OT). Only previous season Nashville beat Sharks twice in SJ: 2000-01.

Predators are 9-7-0 vs Pacific, their worst record vs any Western division. 4-5-0 vs Pacific at home, but 5-2-0 against them on road.

Predators have outshot opponents 20 times this season (tied-fewest in NHL with Edmonton Oilers). 27 wins when outshot are most in NHL.

Predators since Dec. 28: 23-7-3 record (Pekka Rinne 23-4-3, Anders Lindback 0-3-0). Preds 8-2-1 in last 11 games.

Joe Thornton has now played as many games with the Sharks as he did with the Bruins (532 each). With Boston: 454 points. With San Jose: 613.

Jamie McGinn's 2nd two-goal game in 8 games with Avalanche (none in 204 career games with Sharks).

For as long as I can remember, the Preds have always seemed to get outshot. To see that they are last in the NHL, is not surprising.

Yep, one of the most useless/overrated of stats for sure.

The Sharks are always towards the top of the league (or leading it) in shots taken but they take the worst/easiest shots that you and I could stop... it gets them nowhere because they rarely get any good scoring chances off them.

It's just stupid stuff that our idiot TV announcers like to brag about every game...

Here's another random fact:

Niemi got a fat contract and sucks ass now.
