Greg Wyshynski: While it doesn't have the traditional rivalry gravitas of the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs or the San Jose Sharks and the Los Angeles Kings -- both must-see series in their own right -- that Nashville Predators vs. Dallas Stars series is the one I'm gluing myself to the screen to watch.
The Predators got a taste of the Stanley Cup Final last season and seem to be living each day to earn the chance to taste it again. Nashville GM David Poile is already all-in with that Kyle Turris trade -- and one assumes that he's not done.
