We are into the final month of hockey and the Preds are poised to either make it or break it. A win over Ottawa should be a given and give them some help, but Dallas is hanging in there and it will come down to the wire.

Roman Josi should be the default Norris candidate at this point. He's having a recording breaking season not only team wise, but league wise as well. Does he get it or does the hockey world bestow it upon Cale Makar, who is second to Josi in every way this season?

It's a been while since we recorded so it's time for a recap of news around the league. We've seen coaching changes at Montreal and Edmonton on the same day. Will McDavid request a trade out of Edmonton if they fail to make the playoffs? Will Arizona be deregulated into an AHL team (a joke!) for playing the foreseeable future at Arizona State University?

And with the Preds, do we see them continue their hot streak or will regression bite them at the playoff time? We discuss this and more in our latest episode!

NHL All-Star Weekend has arrived, and the Preds collect another win to start the month of February. Filip Forsberg and Juuse Saros continue to impress as Nashville reaches the 60-point mark. Saros and Roman Josi are set to represent their club in Las Vegas as All-Stars, plus NHL analyst A.J. Mleczko joins the show to talk Preds, NHL All-Star and winning Olympic Gold. Finally, Brooks Bratten and Kara Hammer answer listener questions. 

The All-Star Game rosters, captains, and last men in have been selected there have been some...interesting omissions...specifically big name players such as Josi, Crosby, Marchand, and others. Should the NHL go back to the East vs West format and stop sending a player from each team?

How about those Oilers as well? Started off strong and now well, they are free falling and nobody seems to know how to fix them. We also discuss the Calder race, is Saros the MVP for the Preds and continue to beat the proverbial dead horse of whether or not Forsberg will resign with the the Preds.

It's been a busy few days of Covid-19 protocols for the league. The Preds were not spared and have had to call up both players and coaches from their AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals to fill in the gaps. Stepping back from covid though, it's also been a busy couple of weeks for the league as a whole.

Vancouver and Philadelphia hop aboard the coaching carousel, Arizona "forgets" to pay their taxes and almost get locked out of their stadium, and Anaheim's Trevor Zegras makes a great assist on a goal causing Torts to foam at the mouth and rant about kids on his grass and ruining hockey with their creative plays.

We've got a lot to talk about today, so buckle in and let's go!

Forsberg is back from injury and is making up for lost time, scoring four goals Tuesday night against the Blue Jackets. What does this to do complicate his impending contract negotiations? Will GMDP be forced to sign him to a deal he doesn't want to give or does he risk letting Forsberg test the free agency waters and go somewhere else?

Also, the Preds release their navy Stadium Series jerseys to lackluster fanfare. It's an ugly jersey, but all Stadium Series jerseys have also been huge misses when compared to their Winter Classic counterparts. It's one of the few things Preds fans can agree on this season.

All eyes have been on the Chicago Blackhawks as news of a sexual assault coverup during 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs has rocked the league. Questions are being asked of the Blackhawks, the NHLPA, and the NHL itself as to how far this coverup went and what the response will be to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Also the Preds are a .500 hockey team! Josi, Forsberg, Duchene, and Johansen have stepped up in big ways and Tanner Jeannot is making himself a permanent fixture in Smashville. Also did you hear the news? Rinne is getting his number retired!

The new season is upon us and the Preds appear well...mediocre at best. Time will tell how much GMDP, Hynes, and ownership really buy into the idea of the long touted "Youth Movement". Is it for show or will the Preds actually commit to it for the season?
