Tonight the Nashville Predators face off against the San Jose Sharks in another "must win" game. With Timo Meier potentially out of the lineup, what do the Predators need to do to create offense without Filip Forsberg and now Ryan Johansen? Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson is the frontrunner for the Norris Trophy this season. We compare his stats with Roman Josi's numbers from last season and debate why two players with similar seasons can create two very different conversations with regards to that NHL award. Plus, who are our most hated NHL players?

Nashville is in desperate need of points as they hope to remain in the wildcard race, and tonight they'll take the ice against a San Jose Sharks team that may be low in the standings but could be a challenging match up for a struggling Preds team. Then Nick and Ann compare and contrast stats from Erik Karlsson's monumental season with Roman Josi's historic numbers last season. We discuss why similar stats didn't result in similar conversations when it came to Josi's Norris chances in 2022. Finally, we address the "most hated NHL players" Twitter convo. We're shocked at Nashville's most hated player and share our personal top three hockey villains.
