Locked On Predators - Daily Podcast On The Nashville Predators

On today's episode, Nick and Ann begin by breaking down this weekend's NHL Conference Finals action. We talk about the Evander Kane hit on Nazem Kadri and Kane's subsequent one game suspension. We discuss about the "hockey karma" narrative surrounding this incident and others like it in the the NHL and how Kane and Kadri's absences may affect the outcome of Game 4. We also take a look at the Eastern Conference match up. Could the New York Rangers look back at their two goal lead in Game 3 as a frustrating turning point in the series? We also discuss whether the Lightning or Rangers could challenge the Avs for the Stanley Cup. We take a deep dive look at Mikael Granlund's season. He set a career high that paid off for the Predators, but what area of his game left us wanting more? How important was Granny in the ups of the Predators up and down season? We discuss how Granlund could be used next season in a more important role for the Preds, and we give Granlund his final grade for the season.

On today's episode, Nick and Ann take a page from the TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" by modifying the game "scenes from a hat" into "takes from a hat". Nick and Ann each wrote down some hot takes, questions, and situations regarding the Nashville Predators and asked each other for their thoughts. Topics include the Suter/Radulov bad blood, Roman Josi doing karaoke, and which Predators player will be next season's break out star. We discuss Nick's dream interview, Ann's strong stance on Rem Pitlick, and perhaps accidentally paint Ryan Johansen in an unflattering light. It is a fun episode with some unexpected conversations!

Despite a first round playoff sweep by his former team, Matt Duchene had a banner year for the Nashville Predators. On today's episode, Nick and Ann break down the complicated history of Duchene's time in Smashville and how his incredible 2021-2022 season could go a long way in restoring faith in him among the fickle Nashville fan base. We also look at the factors that led to such an offensively productive year - can Duchene replicate his outstanding offensive stats next season? We tell you exactly what Dutchy will need to do that. Finally, we take a quick look at the NHL Conference Finals. Are the NY Rangers the real deal? Nick and Ann discuss how important a win in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals would be for both the Avs and the Oilers.

It is time to take a look back at the Nashville Predators' players and grade their performances in the 2021-2022 season. Today Nick and Ann take a closer look at the "A-" season of Filip Forsberg. We look at the factors that led to Forsberg finally meeting the high expectations the organization and fans have had for him for years. What was the key to his breakout season? Nick and Ann break down why Forsberg can't be considered an "A+" player despite his record setting season. We discuss how important Forsberg's strong performance was to several other Preds players what it will take for #9 to be able to repeat such a successful season next year...where ever he lands. Finally, we talk dollars and cents - what is Forsberg worth, how the UFA market may work in his favor, and whether we think he will be back in gold next season. We also talk about the outrageous offensive battle in the Western Conference Finals between the Colorado Avalanche and the Edmonton Oilers. Are we seeing a new era in hockey in this Western Conference match up?

Despite an early exit from the playoffs, the Nashville Predators had players with historic seasons in 2021-2022. On today's episode, Nick and Ann begin giving out our "end of the season grades", and we start with none other than THE Captain, Roman Josi. Roman Josi had an historic season, breaking career, franchise, and league records. Nick and Ann talk about the record breaking stat that we think meant the most for the Preds this season. We also dive into the chaos that is the Norris Trophy race. We share our frustration with the NHL's season awards, and we lay out why we believe Josi must win the Norris over another favorite - Cale Makar. We also take a look at Josi's leadership style and how his successful run as captain has affected the Nashville Predators franchise, and we discover - quite by accident - what Nick would do for $100.

We're kicking off our Central Division Crossover series with Seth Toupal of Locked on Wild, a team somehow always linked to the Nashville Predators! Nick and Seth cover the similarities between the Preds' and Wild's respective playoff exits, and the tough decisions facing each G.M. in the offseason. We also look at whether the Wild's tough cap situation could wind up benefitting the Nashville Predators. And since it's ALWAYS a source of debate amongst fans online, we revisit the oft-discussed 2019 Mikael Granlund-Kevin Fiala trade... Did either team really "win" that trade?

David Poile says the Nashville Predators want Filip Forsberg back in Smashville. But if their star forward hits free agency, what's the Preds' "Plan B?" Could Nashville swing for the fences and try to sign Johnny Gaudreau? Would there be interest in bringing Evander Kane to the Music City, or J.T. Miller via trade? Or could Poile go the "Moneyball" route and make a series of smaller moves to replace Forsberg's production (and if so, who?) We take a look at the likelihood of each scenario, and which players the Preds may potentially target.

Despite being out of the post season after a tough and early first round exit, the Nashville Predators still have some players who will need to stick around for the end of season NHL awards. On today's episode, Ann takes a closer look at the finalists for the Calder Trophy and the Vezina Trophy. Rookie Predator Tanner Jeannot wasn't named a Calder finalist, so who does Ann think might be this season's rookie of the year? Ann is joined by JD Hernandez of Locked On Anaheim Ducks to talk more in depth about her pick for the Calder. Despite being injured at the end of the season, Juuse Saros played his way into being a finalist for the Vezina Trophy. Jay Foester from Locked On Blue Jackets joins Ann to talk about what makes "the best goaltender at his position", the three finalists, and whether Saros can follow in Rinne's footsteps and bring the Vezina to Nashville.
