The Nashville Predators will open the 2011-12 season with a set of back-to-back games at Columbus and St. Louis, prior to a home opener against Phoenix on October 13. I've gone ahead and added a countdown timer to the left sidebar on the main page until the puck drops on the regular season, just a mere 106 days away...
Follow after the jump for a complete look, and be sure to check back later tonight or tomorrow for the latest version of my NHL Super Schedule, which will break down the travel burdens faced by every team, as well as other assorted lines of analysis.
The "Toast of Music City" balloting has opened for 2011, and I'd appreciate your vote for OTF as Best Blog in Nashville; just click the banner below to head over there, where you can vote daily (click the green button)!
