So I was practicing at the Sportsplex tonight, and a little boy skates up to me. Six-year-old skater: Do you cheer for the Predators? Me: Yes, I do. Do you? Six: Yeah, I like the Predators. Me: Yeah, they’re great. Six: What number do you go for? Me: Um, I like all of them. I

So, are you planning to buy season tickets for the Predators next year? You were? Oh, good! Can you do me a favor? If you are going to buy new season tickets next year, and the crazy hockey musings from Paul or me have inspired you, we would love it if you would give us
