The Predators complete one of the most dramatic comebacks in franchise history to top the Panthers, 6-5, in overtime (5:00). Brooks Bratten reports from Florida as the Preds complete their four-game road trip (10:30), and Thomas Willis takes a look at special teams and the standings (17:00). Plus, Preds rookie forward Mathieu Olivier joins the podcast fresh off his first NHL goal (23:00). Finally, the show talks Reverse Retro jerseys (43:30) and a connection with Vanderbilt Health (42:00).

This is a fast and furious season and every point matters. After taking one on the chin against Carolina, the Preds have been on a roller coaster ride starting with a penalty kill breakdown against Dallas, steadying themselves against Chicago and finally being manhandled by Tampa.

What do the Preds need to do the correct the ship before the season is lost and outside of Forsberg and Arvy, where are we going to find the offense we know this team has?

We're in the middle of December and the Preds are struggling. Almost in last place in their division and outside of the playoffs looking in, people are starting to push towards a change in the coaching staff if the team's luck doesn't turn around.

We've already seen the Devils and Sharks release their coaches due to lackluster performances. It begs the question how much more patience does GMDP have left with his coach before a change is made?

It's been a long off season, but the guys are back behind the mics ready to talk up a new season of the NHL and the Predators. The Preds traded P.K. Subban off to the Devils and picked up Matt Duchene. He's already made an impact and given the Preds two deadly top lines. The power play seems to be doing MUCH better as well. However, will it be enough for them to burst back into the postseason and win the Stanley Cup?

Also, that third pairing...yikes. Get them some help. Pronto!
