After watching them and appreciating the franchise from afar, I’m in town and all in on #Smashville ! A longtime Flyers fan, there’s a few things I’ve come to appreciate about the Predators. For my opener @PredlinesNSH I’m talking about those things! https://t.co/IVPH3fPg5A

Everyone has their favorites. The Flyers were mine, but I always had an appreciation for the Nashville Predators from afar. Now I'm here and covering them.
Outstanding introduction from @MatthewMaratea. Welcome to #Smashville and can't wait to cover the 2023-24 season with you! #Smashville Appreciation from a Flyers Fan (via @MatthewMaratea)

Elliotte Friedman: [Stamkos] needs someone who can get him the puck; nobody is gonna be trading for Stamkos and he's not gonna be waiving his no-trade to go anywhere...if it comes to that...where there isn't a player where...that solves the problem - DMase Vingan & Daunic (10/30)

James Franklin has to go. Whatever shred of faith or goodwill he had left is surely gone.

Brady Skjei had a rocky first year with the #Preds, but comes into this season with a prominent leadership role for the blueline. @MatthewMaratea previews Skjei's season ahead. https://t.co/dCtkqOdTWt

The Nashville Predators have reconfigured their defense over the last two seasons. From the 2023-2024 playoff team, the only remaining defenders are Roman Josi

The @NHLFlyers have a spot open on defense, and it seems like Adam Ginning might finally get his NHL run. My latest for @BroadStreetBuzz #LetsGoFlyers

The Swedish defender has survived and now might thrive in an NHL role for the Flyers.

Rick Tocchet fought back tears talking about Bernie Parent. Said Parent was so good to him when he was young and coming into the league.

The Flyers and Ed Snider Youth Hockey & Education are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Bernie Parent, a true legend, one of the most famous and beloved players, and most popular figures in the history of the organization and city of Philadelphia. https://t.co/Od28lVQHK8

Everyone loves a hot take, but I’m shooting for accuracy here, and I see reasons all of these things happen this @NHLFlyers season. Newest @BroadStreetBuzz #LetsGoFlyers

Here are three predictions that have a real logical chance at ending up being true for this Flyers season.

Cole Smith is playing for a lot. A new baby, a new fiancé, an expiring contract. This year is pivotal for him and I explain why @PredlinesNSH #Preds

Scouting in the NHL is always a complicated process, and the draft outside of the first round has shockingly low success rates. Other times you look for players

All credit in the world to Crawford, he’s incredible. I don’t know if Canelo is fit for that weight anymore. Certainly not a bad loss, but an incredible win for Crawford. Legacy making.

I can’t believe it’s time for Thursday night football again. Oh how fantasy teams suffer these nights.

A wild stat I uncovered while writing about the best place for Steven Stamkos in the #Preds lineup.... Stamkos saw his total shot attempts plummet from 490 in final season with TB, down to 356 with NSH. A more aggressive shooting Stammer is a must. https://t.co/xY0FwxWOo9

It doesn't appear to be clear cut on where future NHL Hall of Famer Steven Stamkos will be in the starting going into his second year with the Nashville Predato

#Preds were mostly quiet this offseason, but they did give a pay raise to Nicolas Hague. @MatthewMaratea looks at the season ahead for Hague with his new team. https://t.co/Spm7cupLwu

In lieu of a big free agent signing, the Nashville Predators made a splashy trade this offseason, shipping long-time soldier Colton Sissons and the NHL's single

Unexpected?
An 18th-century portrait stolen by the Nazis during WWII is believed to have resurfaced in the most unexpected place: hanging above a sofa in an Argentinian home and discovered not by law enforcement or a museum, but in a photo on a real estate website.

Billions has to have the oddest, most jarring opening scene. Paul Giamatti having a cigarette put out on him then urinated on…this show has to be incredible to have gone 7 seasons. My thoughts 38 seconds in
