Tuesday’s Dump & Chase: Here We Go Again

Smashville News:

Once again, there should be a review of last night’s efforts either to the right or below this post.

Johansen week to week for Predators with upper-body injury | NHL.com
Oh, well, we won’t miss Ryan Johansen at all against Tampa Bay. Twitter says he’s invisible anyway—all 6’3″ of him. (Yes, this is all sarcasm.)

Strong Relationship Between Preds, adidas Delivers Reverse Retro Jersey | NHL.com
“The Predators will look a bit different when they hit the ice on Monday night in Nashville.” I can’t say I’m wild about this jersey, but it was interesting to see the blue helmets again.

“Win an autographed, personalized RR jersey courtesy of Vanderbilt Health!”

Support from Preds Helps Vanderbilt Doctors, Nurses Through Pandemic | NHL.com
I’ve always been very proud of the way the Nashville Predators organization—not just the players—engages and supports its community.

Don’t they even get a first warning? If not, how about setting a backup alarm?

“Pavelski (five PP goals, nine PP points) has scored more power-play goals than seven NHL teams.” The Preds are probably one of them.
