What has to happen for the Nashville Predators to hang on to the Wild Card spot? OR How Jonathan Marchessault Got His Groove Back

It Ain't Over, But It's Over - The Nashville Predators have been eliminated from NHL playoff contention

This week, Ann brings you a solo pod only podcast. She talks about Game 81, goes into "much too early" takeaways from the (almost over) season, she discusses what WAS NOT a problem in Nashville this season, and takes a look at something VERY SPECIFIC Head Coach Andrew Brunette is looking for in the final game of the season. She also discusses Aiden Fink's entry level contract and his potential (likely) first NHL appearance in Game 82. Rookie Lap anyone? Content warning is on solely because of Luke Evangelista using the "s" word.

To NHL Playoffs or not to NHL Playoffs, that is the Nashville Predators question

In the third segment, they take an in depth look at who they think are the most serious candidates for the next GM of the team. They both name their favorite and explain why. Finally, Alex announces the Nashville Chapter of the PHWA nominee for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy (the nominee is a friend of the show) and they close the show with a preview of the next PBR Week.
