While the Preds turned in two dismal performances in a row over the weekend, they have fallen five behind Los Angeles and Colorado who each have 80 points. A fifth or six seed would give the team a much better chance of making out of the first round, but that goal seems much further away at this point.
The Preds are leaving on a four game road trip to Atlanta and the West coast and need a complete turn around in order to make a move in the Western Conference standings (or even hang on to the eight spot).
POTG Radio Tonight...
We have a great show lined up for this evening with two excellent guests. First up we will have Jim Diamond who has covered the Predators since the early years of the franchise. He is a member of the Professional Hockey Writer's Association and covers the Predators for The Examiner, the Associated Press and various other news outlets.
We will also have five year old Josh Sacco, who became famous for his recreation of Herb Brooks' speech from the movie Miracle. Josh and his family recently attended the Olympics, courtesy of The Ellen Show where he got to meet the USA men's hockey team, Mike Eruzione, and a bunch of other folks. He also did video updated for the Pred's web site.
We are really looking forward to speaking with tonight's guests and we hope you will join us live or on podcast at the BTR site or on iTunes.

Around the NHL...
Our good friend Dahlia Kurtz of Hockey54 has a great story at the Toronto Star about her friend Matt Cook, a Canadian Sledge Hockey player who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. There are a couple of videos with Matt and Launy Swartz at the site also.
Brian Metzer has moved to a new site that will give him more flexibility to cover a wider range of topics beyond the Pens. Check it out! Brian is a good one.

Deadline "fire sales" can pay off. See what Ryan at the RLD explains about the 2004 Washington Caps.
Ex-Pred Scotty Nichol got slammed by Maxim Lapierre on Thursday night. There was no reason for this type of hit after a shot. I can't believe no one stuck up for Scotty.
Odds and Ends...
How about the Academy Awards show? I was really glad to see Sandra Bullock win the best actress award.
