The Predators rookies completed the two game sweep of the games in Florida yesterday and Craig Smith added two more goals to give him six goals and an assist in two games. I bet he can't wait for the full camp on the weekend. Predfans probably want to elect him to mayor of Smashville.
Here was our brief recap of the game along with the official scoresheet. Thanks again to George Richards of On Frozen Pond for the "Cover It Live" updates and Harvey Fialkov for Tweets throughout the game.
Others with game stories included Smashville 24/7, Cellblock 303, Jay Levin, Predatorial, David Boclair, Fang Finger, and Josh Cooper has quotes from David Poile.
