Let's Have a Hard Conversation About the Predators "Tanking"

Today's Locked On Predators comes with a full Apollo Pepper Spice warning as Nick and Ann tackle a topic that has been simmering in hockey circles in Smashville for awhile now. On this episode, we break down the belief that any Predators win this season is really a disappointment in disguise. We lay out the three reasons why folks who believe a total tank and rebuild is the best (and some would say only) way the Predators can find future success is a path viewed through rose colored glasses. We debate what it means to be a "fan" of a team and why the specific subset of "fans" who lament current Preds success for an uncertain Predators future may be missing the mark. Finally, we take a quick look at tonight's matchup against the surprising New York Islanders and share our one key to a Predators win...which we are hoping for. It is an episode of big feelings on today's Locked On Predators podcast. BetOnline Today's Episode is brought to you by BetOnline.
