Tuesday's news: Nashville Predators in need of help, on the ice and on Facebook & Twitter

Other than the news reported yesterday that Jason Arnott was placed on IR and will miss 1-2 weeks, there's not much going on this morning in Nashville Predators news... yet. There is some scuttlebutt afloat that not 1, but 2 callups will be made from Milwaukee today, and as soon as that news arrives I'll post it here.

But until then, we've still gots lots of hockey goodness waiting for you this morning; an opportunity to work for the Preds on the social media front, an offensive defenseman placed on waivers over in the Eastern Conference, and a sampling from the philosophical offerings of Don Cherry. All this and more, after the jump!

Do you want to work on Facebook and Twitter for the Nashville Predators?
I put this up on the sidebar last night, but thought it worth noting here; I know for many of you, getting paid to pump the Preds on Facebook and Twitter sounds like a dream come true, but this is a real Internet Marketing Coordinator position they're hiring for.

Dodging a Vokoun bullet - Jay Feaster's Blog at The Hockey News
The former Tampa Bay GM nearly dislocates his shoulder patting himself on the back for not trading for Tomas Vokoun in 2007. But when he says that he would have not gotten Steven Stamkos if he had traded away that draft pick, he ignores the fact that the Lightning would probably not have been in the position to have the #1 overall pick if they had one of the best goaltenders in the NHL.

Should fans boo their team? - NHL Digest
An interesting breakdown of two sides of the question noted above. First, do fans have the right to boo? And secondly, should they? Does it actually lead to anything positive? It's a valid question these days in Nashville, considering the reaction the crowd had to that first period last week against Edmonton.
