After two wins in Prague, the Nashville Predators play their home opener tonight against central division rival Dallas Stars at Bridgestone Arena. On today's Locked On Predators we take a brief look at how these two teams match up and which player for the Stars is likely to give Nashville the most trouble as they face off. Then Nick and Ann dive into the LO Preds 2022-2023 Fan Poll. We asked Preds Twitter eight questions about the upcoming season, and we share and break down some very interesting results. Which Preds player is MOST likely to repeat their standout performance from last year? We'll tell you how Roman Josi, Filip Forsberg, Matt Duchene, and Juuse Saros shake out in the voting. There was one definitely landslide vote regarding offseason additions. Nick and Ann discuss whether recency bias may have affected the outcome and if we agree with what an overwhelming majority of Preds fans think. Finally, we take the temperature of Smashville - how are Preds fans feeling about the team overall this season? The results were surprising! We will discuss it all on today's Locked On Predators podcast.
