Another Monday has arrived which means we are one week closer to the start of preseason camp all through the NHL.
This week, once again, we have the next best thing to live hockey. Starting tonight at 5 p.m. and then again at 9 p.m. CDT, and running through Saturday at the same times every day, the NHL Network will carry the Predators-Vancouver second round playoff series replay.
Game one of the series is not particularly inspiring as it was described by the Vancouver media as "the closest blowout in history." In retrospect, it was probably what cost the Preds the series as they were behind the eight-ball the rest of the way.
Make the jump for the rest of today's news and links...
