Barry Trotz is thinking of the people of Nashville.
Tornadoes ripped through Nashville and other parts of Tennessee early Tuesday morning, leaving at least 22 dead as of Tuesday afternoon and many without power.
“My prayers go out,” said Trotz, who coached the Predators from 1998 to 2014 and still considers Nashville his adopted home.
“Back in ’98, that was my first time seeing a [tornado],” Trotz said.
