There was so much news about the Predators over the last 24 hours that it was hard to sort through it all. The Canadian media has over-"run this town" and are reporting on every nook and cranny that they can find.
The Predators players may find that living in the fishbowl for this series may be a good reason to stay and play in Nashville for the rest of their careers and give the Preds a little hometown discount to do so.
Our game preview will be up shortly. No internet at our house has really slowed things down this morning.
