Game Night in Smashville

The home portion of the Nashville Predators preseason schedule begins tonight as Eastern Conference power Tampa Bay comes to town. The Lighting are 0-2-0 after dropping back-to-back games against Tuesday’s Predators opponent, the Carolina Hurricanes. Tonight is the first of a home and home concluding tomorrow night at Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay.

Smashville will get a good luck at a couple of highly touted prospects, including Eeli TOlvanen and Alexandre Carrier and a couple of recognizable names fighting for roster spots including Zac Rinaldo, who has impressed thus far in camp. Rinaldo could very well be in the catbird seat for the “pest” role on this team, giving some needed sandpaper to the lineup.

The top line could be very interesting tonight as it could very well be a combination of Ryan Johansen centering Filip Forsberg and the young Tolvanen… or head coach Peter LAviolette could take another look at the Joey/Forsberg/Fiala combination that was so deadly on Monday night in Florida.

Game time is 7pm… standing room tickets are available. That’s right, that is not a typo, standing room tickets are available for a preseason game in Nashville… how far this franchise has come.

See you tonight in Smashville!

Random Notes

- We have a new member of the SlapShot Radio Team… we are very proud to announce our latest draft pick and new co-host… former NHL player and coach Brent Peterson! He will bring a unique perspective to the show, adding a coaches eye to our analysis and a sense of humor that should mesh right in. Season premier is Wednesday at 7pm on 102.5 the Game.

- 102.5 the Game’s commitment to hockey is impressive already, but they are going above and beyond with a three hour hockey block on Wednesday nights! At 6pm, Ryan Porth has Preds Insiders, SlapShot Radio at 7pm and Penalty Box Radio at 8pm. A three hour feast of hockey talk… only on 102.5 the Game.

- If you can’t make tonight’s game, it will be streamed (Predators viewing area only) on nashvillepredators.com

- The suspension to Max Domi seems to be a light slap on the wrist for his actions.
