As a kid, I used to beg and plead to stay up late to watch TV - now as an adult I struggle to not sleepwalk through a 9 pm puck drop. Thankfully for Nashville Predators fans, that sleepwalking (thankfully) doesn’t extend to the team’s effort. The team leaves Canada tomorrow after a successful west coast roadtrip, and the team will turn their attention to hockey tire fire Chicago. But first things first - let’s talk about Nashville’s 3-2 victory against the Canucks.
