Reason #5: We’ve got an amazing team

If I remember correctly, our Predators won the President’s trophy last season.

In addition, didn’t we represent the Western Conference in the Stanley Cup a couple of years ago?

There is great hockey going on in Smashville, in addition to all the great stuff going on off of the ice.  The Preds boast the best corp of defensemen in the NHL. I don’t care what the experts say about San Jose. They are second best. If you value defensemen that can truly do it all, you cannot find a better group than P.K. Subban, Roman Josi, Mattias Ekholm, Ryan Ellis, Dan Hamhuis, Yannick Weber, Anthony Bitetto, and the other defensemen that are bound to be coming up through the system. Nashville knows defensemen and it’s glorious.

Filip Forsberg provides a bona-fide star, bordering on superstar, for the Predators organization and, along with Viktor Arvidsson, Craig Smith, Kevin Fiala, Ryan Johansen, Kyle Turris, and Eli Tolvanen, to name just a few, the Preds are in good hands. Literally, having you seen the silky mitts on some of these guys? Samuel Girard still can’t sleep after what Forsberg did to him last post-season.

In the end, we all have a lot to be thankful for. Take time to thank the people in your various relationships for what they have done, continue to do, and will do and be for you going forward. Life is precious and amazing. Be thankful.
