Those persistent Predators
Kuklas Korner —
Terry Frei of ESPN provides an assessment of the Nashville Predators organization, which has been resilient in the face of adversity over the last 18 months, both on and off the ice. Despite losing the services of players like Tomas Vokoun, Paul Kariya, Peter Forsberg, Kimmo Timonen, Steve Sullivan and Alexander Radulov, without having replaced any of them with a similar talent via free agency or trade, the Preds are once again in the thick of the Western Conference playoff picture, with a record of 13-10-2.
I think we have the trust in our whole organization that we’re doing the right thing. We’ve had to make some ...

But instead of throwing a golfer's fit, they just putt ...
Terry Frei Defends Nashville
Fire Jay Mariotti —
You know what I like about Terry Frei? Nothing. In this, his most recent article, he whines about how Nashville is such a great hockey market but they're in danger of losing their franchise. The Predators are a team that I love to hate, and last night made it even easier for me.
