At the All Star break the Predators are dead in the water, near the bottom of the Western Conference in the West in the National Hockey League. I hope they get a second life and make the playoffs for the 5th year in a row. We truly need a big time offensive weapon to have a chance and I for one do not see the team splurging to buy that weapon so it looks bleak from my seat on the glass. Lets go Preds, make the playoffs!

Playoffs?
Only one of the home teams won in their playoff games this weekend. The Pittsburgh Steelers won all the other home teams Tennessee, New York Giants and the Carolina Panthers all lost. I remember the years when a home playoff game meant certain victory and this year was not like that at all. Let us hope that the home teams win this weekend and the Cards and Steelers meet in Super Bowl 43 in Tampa Florida. It would be a huge match up for me and all Cardinal fans all over the world, all 148 of us.
Fantasy sports
Every year I play in several fantasy sports leagues in everything from auto racing to baseball and everything in between. The only fantasy leagues I do not play in are golf and basketball. I guess it is a culture thing I do not play golf and I hate basketball, to many showboats and not enough basketball I guess. I have went to a pro basketball game while on a business trip to Oakland the client took us to a Warriors game and in person it was fun to watch but on TV it is boring and not a lot of fun to sit through. I have won a few leagues I have joined but I have fun with the leagues and will continue to play fantasy sports online.
Hockey
This Friday the NHL season starts for our Nashville Predators, and I for one can not wait for the ice to be played on for real. The preseason is over the roster is set and it is time for the puck to drop. I have decided not to renew my season tickets this year. We will go to a few games, follow the rest on TV and the radio and wish the team the best for this year. I still consider myself a Predators fan and will support the team the best way I can with the economy in the toilet like it is, I hope that next year we will be able to get our season tickets back and be there every night like the last few years.
Season starts soon
Hockey season starts soon and I can not wait, I have become a huge hockey fan since I moved to Nashville. I love the Predators and have had season tickets for the last three years, I can not wait to get my butt in my seat and cheer on my team. I think that this year will be a good one. We have a lot of last years play-off team back and I think we can count on some of our young guys to pick up the slack from the people we did lose in this off season. The one I will really miss is Darcy Hordichuck who was traded in the off season. Go Predators.
