Nashville Predators
I am a grown man sitting here at 12:10 a.m. watching Looney Tunes and drinking Bud Light Platinum.
"It felt like a regular-season game with the crowd, and it was exciting."

My thoughts on tonight's OT thriller and expectations for the #Preds moving forward:

Thank you! Really appreciate the support from all of you today!
@RStanleyNHL Great show, Robby. Loved it. Can’t wait til the next one.
Full quote from #Preds Associate Coach Kevin McCarthy on Eeli Tolvanen and if he's closer to being NHL-ready:
Matt Duchene: "That was fun. I've been looking forward to this all summer, and to be able to be part of a win here at home right away on a Saturday night, there's nothing better." #Preds
Your #Preds win and so do you! 👏

Listening back to my Duchene audio and I realized he calls Arvidsson "Arv".
I like that.
Roman Josi chatted with me about the different options on the power play under Dan Lambert. Quick puck movement is paramount in this system and it was on full display tonight.
RT @projpatsummitt: @PredsNHL @TBLightning #Preds individual stats at EV:
Looks good - Josi no longer with the abysmal -100% on-ice xG lol. @statswithkate
Overall the team did what it should offensively and well... https://t.co/BUm4PVRRXe
RT @projpatsummitt: FINAL* @PredsNHL 5 - @TBLightning 4 (OT)
Exciting game where the stars shone and Pitlick staring down Salomaki and Gaudreau. The stats though look a little iffy for Rinne, but it's the preseason

Peter Laviolette said the other day that Rem Pitlick's experience with the Predators late last season has had a positive effect on him. Here's Pitlick on that:
#Preds Associate Coach Kevin McCarthy on if Tolvanen is NHL ready: "He's closer, let's put it that way"
Read into that however you will.
This is the most exciting thing I've seen about the Preds' power play in I don't know how long. Let's keep Lambert.
#Preds Associate Head Coach Kevin McCarthy gives credit to Assistant Coach Dan Lambert with his work on the improvement of the power play. Says Lambert talks about at least creating momentum on the power play even if you don't score.
Coach McCarthy says Eeli Tolvanen is definitely "closer" to being a full-time NHL player. Tolvanen isn't making the decisions easy for #Preds coaching staff.

Matt Duchene says that was the largest preseason crowd he’s ever played in front of, “by probably double.” Loved his first game experience as a member of the #Preds.
