maybe he'll really make you happy and drink himself to death.
no matter what he likely did with the nanny, the guy has three kids.

so you can wallow in glee at his falling off the wagon, but I can't. he's sick and needs help.

Honest question, what are the other reasons? I like the Preds. They have built that team through good drafting and trading. Not like some teams who just suck to win.

Is there some reason for the hate?

PK seems to be having too much fun.

Preds are better then us. That must be why.

I can't think of a single reason to hate them.

-Not a cap team, so no crazy overpayments
-Almost got screwed over by Philly by the Weber offersheet, yet decided to send a message to their fans that they won't be pushed around and matched it
-Been a defenseman/goalie factory for years now
-Likeable Finnish goaltender
-PK is awesome
-Crazy fans that are proof that you CAN grow hockey in some non-hockey markets
-Nashville is a cool city
-Finally made the 3rd round for the first time in franchise history.

That's not mentioning how shrewd of a GM they have, how much awesome charity work Trotz has done, and how involved they are in the community.

What's not to like? They are the franchise I hope for the Flames to emulate.

Harry Zolnierczyk getting his name on the Cup is just as vile.

Harry Zolnierczyk is a good enough reason to hate them.

Who? What'd he do?

He was charged and plead guilty to "electronic voyeurism", he and a teammate secretly recorded the teammate having sex with a minor and he shared the video with others. He was let off with a slap on the wrist.

Yep, he doesn't even have a record due to the plea agreement, it was expunged after 3 years. IMO the guy should be in prison for filming and distributing child pornography

Theyre $3 million off, not exactly Carolina
-Almost got screwed over by Philly by the Weber offersheet, yet decided to send a message to their fans that they won't be pushed around and matched it
And then traded him.
-Been a defenseman/goalie factory for years now
So has Anaheim, and everybody hates them
-Likeable Finnish goaltender
Agree with that one
-PK is awesome
I don't like him, he whines and dives all the time and just threw a hissy fit for not getting the puck. Don't care about dancing during warmups or having a good time, it's what he does during the game that I don't like.
-Crazy fans that are proof that you CAN grow hockey in some non-hockey markets
Anaheim has good fans and longer GTs on HF, but everybody hates them.
-Nashville is a cool city
Agree, but that's not the greatest reason for liking a team. Otherwise everybody would be a Rangers or Habs fan.
-Finally made the 3rd round for the first time in franchise history.

Now why Im not on the perds bandwagon

-James Neal, about as dirty a player as they come nowadays.
-repeat embellishment offenders
-sexual deviants
-too much bad country music
-PK Subban
-annoying bandwagon fans who like them just because they're the 'hipster' team.
-edit: should add throwing catfish and now ducks on the ice. Not as bad as what the Detroit fans do, but it's not cool IMO.

Getzlaf, Kesler and Perry have cleaned up their act a bit in recent years, would rather see them in the finals.
Plus a Preds-Penguins final would be too much yellow, especially at games in Nashville.
