This week we will have a little different look at POTG. I'll be leaving for Las Vegas to attend the Awards Show festivities later today and then going to Minneapolis on Thursday for the NHL Entry Draft on Friday night and Saturday. The morning links will probably suffer in the process.
Other than covering the four Predators' nominees at the Awards Show and the Predators picks at the draft, posts will be somewhat limited due to a shortage of Internet connections. What will result, long-term, is plenty of videos over the course of the summer to keep interesting stuff up on the site.
In the next couple of days I will have an Awards preview, a post about what the Preds nominees are thinking about heading to Vegas, and the best idea ever conceived about the future of hockey in Las Vegas.
Make the jump for today's news and links...
Thanks to Toast of Music City...
POTG was nominated in the best blog category at this years Toast of Music City competition. Lat year, our friends at Section 303 finished second and were nominated again this year. The only other hockey blog currently nominated is OnTheForecheck.
We will not be running an active campaign but remember to vote for the hockey blogs if you participate. It's an honor to be nominated in the presence of all the other blogs that cover a range of topics in Nashville.
