The Nashville Predators are coming off the most successful year in franchise history. They won their first playoff series last season and hope to build on that success this year. But the with the loss of Marcel Goc, Steve Sullivan, Joel Ward and Cody Franson the task becomes much more difficult.
On this edition of the THN Puck Panel we take a look at the 2011-12 installment of the Nashville Predators. Host Edward Fraser is joined by writer Adam Proteau and editor in chief Jason Kay to discuss…
The continuous exodus from Nashville…
The feeble Preds offense...
Their steadfast defense core…
And the advantage of having twin towers patrolling the crease in Pekka Rinne and Anders Lindback.

"I think I've done a really good job the whole year. I'm just going to keep going. I finish my hits, it's nothing out of the ordinary. With these hits, you can't look at that and say, 'That's a really bad hit.' You have to slow it down and look at it in detail to suspend me. That's what they're going to do. And that's fine with me. I'll take it. It will make me a better hockey player at the end of the day."
