We are five more games into the season. The Preds started a five-game road trip across western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. With an always strong Central Division, the Preds need to figure out their identity. We’ve seen line blenders almost every game and well-known players such as Tolvanen, Carrier, Glass, and Fabbro getting scratched. They embody the “Smashville” moniker, but as Edmonton proved the other night, skill and speed are what make championship teams these days.

The 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs continue with Round Two! We review the results of Round One, compare our brackets, and give our opinions on Round Two and how the games will go. The Preds, the first team out of the playoffs, held a presser on Thursday to discuss off-season plans . We dissect the answers and discuss the elusive Forsberg signing, extending of Coach Hynes, and the individual successes of Josi, Saros, Duchene, and Forsberg this season.
