Hockey is back(?), which means that you have to listen to us talk about it. I suppose we must take the good with the bad. The NHL season is set to pick up for the playoffs in just a few short weeks, and the Nashville Predators will look to jump start a previously disappointing season.
Their path is not free from obstacles, though, as a new and improved Arizona Coyotes team looks to shut down the Predators with some all-star names of their own. We discuss both teams underlying characteristics, what areas of the ice work in their favor, and which players will be the “X factor.”
With the benefit of hindsight, we also take a look into the differences between Peter Laviolette’s Nashville Predators and those of John Hynes. The new coach brings a system that should work to Nashville’s strengths, but had difficulty gaining momentum during the regular season.
As a bonus, Formula 1 is covered by two experts on the subject: us. For those looking to fill the sports void until hockey resumes, you could do much worse than F1 this season.
Finally, we answer some great listener questions before signing off until next time. As always, we welcome your feedback and questions on Twitter (@Datarangas, @WadeM117, or @BetweenTheFangs). Thanks for listening!
