Jonathan Cheechoo, Joe Thornton and the rest of sharks swim into Smashville Friday night for a Stanley Cup quarter final playoff series with our hometown Predators.
A guy with two Stanley Cup championships who also broadcasts Preds games, Terry Crisp says Nashville matches up well with San Jose. Cheecho and Thornton, meet Kariya and Sullivan. And the wagon train series back and forth between TN and SoCal favors the Predators who have home ice advantage which if nothing else means one less cross country flight for the good guys. Inside sources say coaches were stayed until the wee hours of Wednesday morning after the Preds beat up the Red Wings Tuesday night. They're watching hours of tape and will be preparing the players for game one faceoff Friday.
Don't know about you, but I'll be at every game in section 108. Wave at me if you can see around Vinny who's casting a larger shadow these days. If you want to go, check out these tickets on eBay. They can be had for a value given their location and the magnitude of the NHL playoffs. And keep checking out this space for a Preds Playoff blog like none other.
GO PREDS!
