Almost halfway through the season, the Preds will need a miracle to make the playoffs. Trade rumors abound Forsberg despite assurances from David Poile the franchise forward is not going to be traded. It's time for work to be done before the trade deadline though, as the Poile needs to accept this team is mediocre at best. With injuries mounting, the youth movement is getting a chance to shine. The one good thing this season has finally brought us is Eeli Tolvanen. The Finnish wonder is making h...

The Preds have spiraled out of control since our last episode. While getting a win against the Blue Jackets Saturday night, the Preds have hardly been exciting on the ice, going 3-5-0 in their last eight games. The offense has dried up and left the front office, the players, the coach, and the fans with a lot of soul searching to do. Should the Preds be sellers at the deadline? If so, who do we trade to start the rebuild process and is John Hynes the right coach for this team? Also, Matt gives h...

This is a fast and furious season and every point matters. After taking one on the chin against Carolina, the Preds have been on a roller coaster ride starting with a penalty kill breakdown against Dallas, steadying themselves against Chicago and finally being manhandled by Tampa. What do the Preds need to do the correct the ship before the season is lost and outside of Forsberg and Arvy, where are we going to find the offense we know this team has?

The 2021 NHL season has begun! It's a compressed 56 game season and every game is a playoff game. The divisions are different, there are new rules and protocols and a constantly rotating Taxi Squad. We'll take as long as the game we love can be played. We have new faces in the Preds offense and defense this season as Poile pulled the trigger and sent players packing after last season. How does the team fare and where do they place in this mashed up Central Division? As long as they place 4th or ...

It's been a long five months, but we are back to work! The Stanley Cup Qualifiers are about to wrap up and teams have been dropping like crazy in upsets that were unthinkable earlier in the year. The Preds were one of those teams, losing their series to the Coyotes and leaving us with the question of "What next?" for a team which rocketed to unprecedented heights and now just appears to not know what to do next. We'll back next week also with our Bracket episode! Music City Gold is powered by 7E...

We also talk briefly on how the coronavirus is affecting the NHL and look at the possibility that Pekka Rinne's days as the number one starter may be coming to a close as Juuse Saros shines for the Preds down the stretch as they ...

The 2020 #NHLTradeDeadline has come and gone with over 50 players involved in trades throughout the day. Some teams loaded up for a run, others tore it down, and a few hoarded draft picks for a massive rebuild.

The Preds Bye Week is here along with the NHL All-Star Week around the corner. During this time the Preds will look to rest up and see if they can race to claim a wild spot leading up to the playoffs with new head coach John Hynes at the helm. We take a look at Rinne’s goal and Forsberg’s lacrosse goal, plus the shocking news of the firing of Ray Shero in New Jersey and Gerard Gallant in Vegas.

We're in the middle of December and the Preds are struggling. Almost in last place in their division and outside of the playoffs looking in, people are starting to push towards a change in the coaching staff if the team's luck doesn't turn around. We've already seen the Devils and Sharks release their coaches due to lackluster performances. It begs the question how much more patience does GMDP have left with his coach before a change is made?

If you had 6 million dollars, what would you do with it? You could buy a house, a car, or whatever your heart desires. For Kyle Turris and the Preds though, the question has yet to be answered as Turris has now been scratched for seven straight games. David Poile is behind Coach Laviolette on his decision, leaving us all wondering if this is the best use of the Preds own Six Million Dollar Man. Only time will tell what happens. Also, we touch briefly on the Mike Babcock story, the response from ...

It's a been a big week for the Preds as Roman Josi signs an eight-year, $72.472 million dollar contract giving him $9.059 million a season. Watson also inks a three-year 4.5 million dollar contract and if that wasn't enough, the Preds officially release their 2020 Winter Classic jersey to the public. We also take a look at Svechnikov's lacrosse goal against the Flames and Tkachuk's OT winning goal against the Preds on Halloween night. Will either of them win goal of the year?

Robby Stanley from NHL.com joins us this week to talk some Preds hockey.

Should Dante Fabbro stick with Ekholm the entire season and for the love of all what do we do about this third pairing? We go over all these and more with Robby and he shares a few stories he's collected over the years as well from the Preds locker room. Music City Gold is part of the Penalty B...

It's been a long off season, but the guys are back behind the mics ready to talk up a new season of the NHL and the Predators. The Preds traded P.K. Subban off to the Devils and picked up Matt Duchene. He's already made an impact and given the Preds two deadly top lines. The power play seems to be doing MUCH better as well. However, will it be enough for them to burst back into the postseason and win the Stanley Cup? Also, that third pairing...yikes. Get them some help. Pronto! Music City Gold i...
