Nashville Predators News & Notes
Pre-Season is underway in Smashville, kicking off today with a double-header against the Florida Panthers. The Preds dropped the first contest 5-3 but were victorious in overtime during game two. Yes. Overtime.

The Captain! Roman Jooosssssiiiiiii!

See...it’s all love, fam!

I really want to like this, but expanding the NHL and hockey to other countries doesn’t fit in with the NHL’s anti-Olympics stance right now. It doesn’t make any sense. What’s their end-game here?

The Preds fell to the Panthers during Game 1 of their double header yesterday but bounced back in Game 2. Can we blame the game-start time? Have Preds fans earned that right now?
