With the Milwaukee Admirals still fighting for a spot in the AHL's Calder Cup Playoffs (they can actually clinch a spot tonight), the Nashville Predators are sending reinforcements back to the minors.

If there's such a thing as moral victories, we saw one last night.

The Preds fought back to tie the game three times after Chicago took the lead, and Matt Halischuk set a personal best with his first two-goal game, but it wasn't enough to avoid the team's eleventh loss in their last twelve games.

Another Milwaukee Admiral will make his NHL debut tonight as Kevin Henderson has been called up for tonight's game at Chicago, along with forward Daniel Bang.

Remember the days of yore when a home game against the Hawks meant a good chance for free tacos (hence Chi-taco)? They are long gone.

If it really helped win games, you'd see it more in the playoffs, where winning games is pretty important. But you don't.

There's plenty of questions to consider as we're on the outside looking in for the first time in a few years.

Given the existing contracts in place and the declining salary cap environment, are the Predators actually likely to make significant additions to their lineup this summer?

The biggest problem I can see with this plan is the proposed game at Dodger Stadium. You know, because of the sun.
