Nashville Predators Identity Is Key In Tonight's Game One Against the Colorado Avalanche

#NashvillePredators #NHLHockey #Preds The Nashville Predators have made it to the post season and will face off tonight against one of the Stanley Cup frontrunners, the Colorado Avalanche. With few - if any - hockey experts thinking this will be much of a series, Nick and Ann discuss why the doubts about this Predators team may be ignoring history. The big storyline in this series is the absence of Juuse Saros. How will the Predators respond in a big game without their number one net minder? What one thing does the team need to do to help whoever is in net succeed? We debate who the likely starter in net will be and why. "Identity" has been a buzzword with Head Coach John Hynes and the players all season - what does it really mean? We counter a take that says their identity is "gooning it up" and address what has really led to Nashville exceeding all regular season expectations. Finally we wrap up the episode with a frank talk about one of hockey's strangest superstitions - the playoff beard. Which Nashville Predator got called out by a teammate on his playoff beard potential and how do Nick and Ann think the facial hair should play out for the Preds this post season?
