It's no secret to those who know me that I'm a very big fan of the Nashville Predators hockey team. I literally wear my Preds fandom on my sleeve ... and head, and feet and just about anywhere else you can stick a Predators logo. Since I'm known as a hard-core Preds fan, when the team does something noteworthy I can count on getting some texts and calls from friends as well as casual acquaintances who want to get my take on what the moves mean to the casual fan.
