Predators, Nashville enter attack-twice zone on the power play
Thanks to David Freeman (above), Chase Cole, Boots Del Biaggio and the rest of the local ownership group that signed a binding letter of intent to purchase the Predators from owner Craig Leipold (also above, at left) yesterday, Nashville has what Freeman described as a “second chance” yesterday to support NHL hockey. I’m grateful to Freeman and his team for boldly pursuing this offer and doing more than their share to keep the Preds here in Nashville where they belong. I hope other local businesses and others who have been on the sidelines in supporting the team will do whatever they can–whether it be signing up for season tickets, sponsoring the franchise, buying single-game tickets, supporting businesses that support the Preds or inviting friends to games this season–to help the cause.
Not every city that has a professional sports franchise at risk receives a second chance to show its support. In my opinion, the Preds are a great community member, an excellent entertainment option and a source of pride for the city. Let’s make sure that their home address is an answer, rather than a question, from this point on.

I’ve driven up a few times to catch a game and Ive enjoyed it every time Ive been and I sincerely wish them the best while their in Nashville. But lets be honest this league in general is in deep trouble and once you get outside of Nashville and the surrounding counties the support for this team drops off dramactically and I really dont know how you get people in the mid state to support this team the way they do the Titans.
