The HATERS ARE MAD! Just hours after a closed-door players' meeting, the Nashville Predators beat the Los Angeles Kings in a game that featured two quick goals by Mikael Granlund and Matt Duchene, as well as a fiery third period comeback.

That game also featured Cole Smith's long-awaited first NHL goal. Nick and Ann break down why Smith's goal was a reflection of his solid recent play, and why the conversation of "are there better options for the Preds' lineup" can be separate from the talk about his play.

We also delve into Roman Josi's role as captain of the Nashville Predators and the impact he has on the team OFF the ice, Ryan Johansen's power play goal being a result of one big change from John Hynes, and the Preds' persistent issues with late penalties and playing "sixty minute penalties."
