However, if they do, just say that you know more than the belligerently intoxicated Blackhawk bandwagoners assaulting security in Nashville.  While their bandwagon has DUIs, we have hot chicken. Nashville 1, Chicago 0.Below youl find some team history, insight on the current team, and the fan culture youl need to get you through the postseason.A Brief History of the PredatorsA late-90 expansion team, the Predators have made hockey work in a nontraditional market. The team has made 10 of the last 13 playoffs and sold out every home game at Bridgestone Arena this season. General Manager David Poile has been with the club through its entire history, while head coach Peter Laviolette is only in his third season.    The Predators have faced their first round opponent, the Chicago Blackhawks, twice. Both were first round series that went to six games, with Nashville unfortunately losing both series while the Blackhawks would win the cup each postseason. Nevertheless, in 2015 the Predators actually outscored the Blackhawks over the course of their series.  The current Predators team is significantly more talented than the 2015 team, so hopefully the Predators put it all together and finally finish the Blackhawks off.    Last season, the Predators upset the Anaheim Ducks in seven games before falling to the San Jose Sharks in seven games.During this past off-season Juuse Saros Jersey, they traded Captain and defenseman Shea Weber to the Montreal Canadiens for P.K.

While Subban still certainly has a hard shot and can deliver nasty hits, he talented enough to rely on other options to help the Predators.          P.K. Subban warms up prior to his first game in Montreal as an opponent of the Canadiens.    Eric Bolte-USA TODAY Sports            While adding a player of Subban caliber certainly helps the Predators, there was an adjustment time needed as his addition threw off a lot of chemistry and forced head coach Peter Laviolette to change up his defensive pairings. As a result, the first half of the season was pretty bad.    Nevertheless, the team began clicking in about mid-January and has been stellar in the second half of the season.  There are numerous players who have the capability to just pop off and score a hat trick on the flip of a dime, so let get into them.The Handsome Men ClubWhile every player on the roster has a story worth telling, let be perfectly honest: you just need to know five names so when your friends say  bet you can even name five Predators!” https://www.predatorsoutletshop.com/Pontus_Ab ... , youe covered.  Therefore, Il give a few honorable mentions at the end, but here are the names youl be hearing broadcasters talking about all postseason .
