Nashville is getting known for more than just it's music scene.
The Predators are making real inroads into the Nashville psyche. If you are not a hockey fan yet, or sitting on the sidelines...well just watch how entertaining and skilled this young team is.
They swept Chicago, and won game I of the second round against a solid St Louis team..and play again tonight.
Do yourself a favour and have a look at hockey played at its highest level.

Sure Jody---make sign up before I can listen.....but hey it was worth it. Is this being picked up by the teams? Would be cool to hear it...can go to the media outlets too radio\television\streaming services...Did have to switch to the Maple Leafs version though because they are my team
But now that they are out--Go Preds Go
Midnite...New Years day I was there for the outdoor classic in TO vs the Red Wings. Great experience

John? It's been a long while since I've said these two words: I'm jealous!!!
Living in the Detroit area, in my 20's, Toronto was my "Go To" weekend get-a-way city!
Never had a bad experience there....Some really WEIRD ones, but never a bad one:-)

Well TO is my city. Been here since late 70s. Vibrant, multicultural, and central to The Greater Golden Horseshoe as the region is now known.
One of the top cities of the world by a number of rankings
When were you here last?

Let's just say that it's been a while:-)....But one of the nights I was visiting, while still single, was this one that Bruce Cockburn wrote after he & I were hangin' out on "The Coldest Night of the Year"....And yeah, sure, Bruce never mentions his "wing-man" that night...sigh....:-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mwc43Fd9DYMidnite

Great game last night. Preds show lots of grit and determination while missing top players.
And Rinne? Well what can you say. Great goaltending wins.
Go Preds Go
Man it is going to be hard to cheer against them if Ottawa makes it through.

Well, John, as the Dutch (you've heard of them, right?:-)) would say: Don't build a bridge until you get to the river. Which I've always thought was way better than "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it"..(origin unknown) Midnite

Preds are one win away from the finals and Smashville (yes they have a hockey nickname now) going crazy!!!
Senators got a huge spanking by the Penguins and face elimination.

This is one of my favourite original Dutch errrr sports Points are scored for originality, costumes, completing the course and time.... It translates as By land, Sea and Air----was on the air for decades https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBHYsM9cDAsYou do not need to know how to speak Dutch to enjoy it (but the commentary helps ) Be sure to watch it all because there are lots of variations. There's a group that actually takes a piano on skis down a course....

Yeppers, I'm wid da Preds all da way Mike! I'm jes tryin' to figure out how to reword the classic song that I will post... .....Thanks Bob & Doug:-) Maybe something along the lines of: On the first day of Playoffs my true love gave to me... And a puck...in a tree... Bob: No no. No tree. It should be in a puck in a net! Doug: Better be careful of how you spell puck. Bob: Puck off, ya hoser Doug: Puck off yourself! But enough about us....GO PREDS! Bob...Maybe it should be five golden pucks?..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DTwLqR071MMidnite

Well that was a bummer Penguins, contrary to their real life counterparts, came out flying. If they were flying cars they`d have been firing on all cylinders Confident the Preds will get another game in Pittsburgh.

Man, one bad bounce and an empty netter---and Nashville goes down to Pittsburgh, 2017 Stanley Cup champs
Congrats to the Penguins, but Nashville, you can hold your heads high. You have entertained us with skill, passion and love of The Game.
Big huge thumbs up from The Great White North

That's what usually happens in a game like that, one crazy bounce, a fluky goal and it's over. They gave them a good fight but lost, no shame against a top heavy team in talent like PP.
