Without much time to spare, the Nashville Predators announced their plans for the 2013 Skate of the Union town hall meeting, slated for Wednesday evening at Bridgestone Arena from 5:00-8:00 p.m. As usual, there will be an assortment of activities taking place, but the centerpiece is the panel discussion/Q&A time with prominent members of the organization.
This year, the twist is that rather than writing down your questions on scraps of paper, or relying on someone to run around with a microphone, the Preds are taking questions via social media (I assume that means Twitter or Facebook). Just put the #SOTU13 hashtag in there to have your question considered for inclusion.
Quoth the Preds:
