Follow the jump for the latest news and links from The Predators and around the NHL as well as the story of the latest Predator blogger love-fest. Our Morning After look at last night's game will be out shortly too.
Programming Note...
On Saturday, Jeremy Gover of Section hosted five other Predator bloggers for a special edition of the 303:30 podcast. Attending were Amanda DiPaolo, Ryan Porth, Mark Willoughby, Chris Burton (by phone) and me. Although it was early after a late night game, it was a lot of fun. It's another way in which the Predators are "non-traditional" in a positive way. I doubt that there are many other markets where you could have representatives of the top six local blogs come together and have fun and work in such a positive manner.
