I really dislike Nashville...a leftover sentiment from the bubble days and inconvenient injuries in encounters with them, I suppose. So, a win would be appreciated.

The rest of the black mirror themed season could continue to read like a real mystery novel with red herrings and gotchas galore. It's hard to trust. Very curious to see how it evolves, hopefully, with a satisfying conclusion.

I like Nashville and loved playing them more often. It really felt like a sibling rivalry. Maybe with more time and playoff series it'd get more serious, but I can't help but like the Preds, and I like the direction they're going as a team too. I just don't know how you can hate those guys.

To be sure, I wanna win. I always wanna win.

This matchup needs to be inside it's own division. It's a perfect natural rivalry for 2 teams who don't really have one right now
Can't like this enough. The best part is unlike a Washington rivalry where I'm pretty sure most of the two fan bases hate each other this would be more like a sibling rivalry or a different branches of the military type where we would defend then and they us unless against each other.

If these lines make it through the first period I imagine Martinook - Staal - Jarvis sees more 5v5 ice time than the KK line. Basically make the Staal line the 2nd line.

Bunting - KK - Nachos seems like a nightmare defensively, especially for an away game where they can’t be as sheltered.

Going to be interesting to see if SAT can find that chemistry that was so magical a few seasons ago. It’s always been my favorite usage of those three and has always felt like the potential true top line this team has been missing.
