Nashville Predators News & Notes
The Predators couldn’t hang on against Vegas on Friday, but something much more serious, and not at all stupid, unfolded after the game. That’s right... It’s #CLAPGATE baby!

ICYMI, Vegas tweeted some nonsense about Nashville reporters cheering in press box. I get this is a total “media thing,” but it is something that’ll get you admonished IRL and a stigma that could affect access with other teams. Plus it was a apparently a lie, so that’s not cool. https://t.co/LaHQkLB8G9
