@PredsOnFSTN
Congrats to the
#TitanUp
crew! King Henry is a BEAST.
Last team in? Beat a great champion in the first round? Sounds familiar....
Keep going! Now flip to

I’m saddened. Lost a friend. Frank was in the first wave of visible sports stars in Nashville when we became a “Major League” city. A true connection with the fans. He’ll always hold a special place in our hearts.
#Titans
Like my
#Preds
broadcast colleagues I feel for the Laviolette’s & the McCarthy’s. I’ll always appreciate Peter & Kevin’s professionalism- always made me feel like I was a part of the group. Proud of what they achieved & confident they will succeed again in the future.
Former
#Preds
Center Mike Ribeiro stops by to chat with Pekka Rinne & his former teammates. He’s coaching youth hockey in the area. Warm reception. Lavy came by with a big hug.
Class Superstar. Leader. Pro. Elite Talent.
Just as important: Sets the example on & off the field.
A guy you point to & tell young people: “THAT is how you play the game”.
When he’s out there representing Nashville Sports, you’re proud to say “That’s OUR guy”.
#Titans
Did you wake up ticked off?
Still wallowing?
I’m giving you until 11:20 am Central to vent and do what you need to do.
Then pick your chin up and focus on the challenge ahead.

#Preds
Here’s what I got
@cmace30
1. Best players have to be your best players. Smitty, Josi, JOFA provide the big plays in the clincher.
2. Saros with a great close against the Caps snipers.
3. Perfect time for the
#Preds
PP to come alive.
President’s Trophy!
#HomeIce
Wow
@cmace30
1. NHL HISTORY!!!
#Preds
1st franchise to have 2 separate goalies score goals (Rinne &
@cmace30
). This league has been around for awhile....
2. Tweaks in system starting to show. Dominant 1st period.
3. Weathered the storm in 3rd. Nice to see.
Farewell to Crispy. Took me under his wing in the
@PredsNHL
first season back in 1998-99 when I didn’t know jack. I owe him so much.
Never underestimate his value to our city….
Here’s what I got
@cmace30
1. Saros. No words. Love how
#Smashville
embraced him throughout the game.
2.
#Preds
top 2 lines were extremely powerful during 1st 2 periods. Great sign.
3. Ryan Ellis— ice water flows through his veins. 💧
Proud Dad right here!! Loved watching the growth process.
Time, dedication, & work = well earned opportunity at a great spot.
Go Big Red! Watch out Buckeye State— Daunic Family Invasion is coming!!
This gentleman was AWESOME last night— doing his best to keep people safe.
Calmly gave out great info— even paused quickly at one point so he could make sure his own family was on alert as the storm came through.
Shout out to all our weather people who pulled an “All Nighter”
Today’s mental challenge for
#Preds
: just because you win the first game at home as big favorite doesn’t mean you can just cruise to a win in game 2.
Must stay sharp & play even better.
See: Flyers 5 Penguins 1
See you in
#Smashville
On to Round 2
@cmace30
1. Avs pushed
#Preds
to their top level. This will serve NSH well vs Jets— AND they get through healthy.
2. How good is Ekholm? Plus NINE in the series!
3. MacKinnon line is INCREDIBLE— but they end up minus in the series.
Here’s mine
@WillyD1025
1. Bones, Watson, Sissons line was MVP of that series. Best line on either team 💪
2. Great way to close out with a full 60 minute effort from top to bottom.
3. I’ve been looking forward to the NSH/WPG series since December. Gonna be a WAR. Can’t wait!
From
@PredsOnBally
telecast last night:
The teams from MLB, NHL, NFL, & MLB that have made the postseason for at least the last 8 seasons:
1. Celtics
2. Dodgers
3. Penguins
4. Capitals
5.
@PredsNHL
That's it.
Saga is over. Fair deal. Both sides wanted this all along. No team in position to contend could come close to matching that number (8x8.5) with a 7yr. offer. Would’ve had to have been over $9.5m AAV.
The NCAA Tournament announcers for the Nashville Regional will not be on site.
So disappointing. Impossible to call a game from your living room— in a separate place from your analyst— and do it right.
ESPN is the “Worldwide Leader in Sports”. C’mon.
#VandyBoys
I had to laugh at this. 38-13 is “running up the score”? I watched VU get beat by UT in a 5 year span between ‘90-‘94 by scores of 49-20, 45-0, 62-14, and 65-0. Love ya Chad.
#Dores
Has a nice ring to it
@cmace30
1. Rinne: stops last 30 shots. Finishes on upswing..just like his team.
2. Prior to Fri.,
#Preds
last led Central on March 7..& Jets had 3 games in hand.
3.
#Smashville
turned up the dials tonight. Saturday W! Who’s ready to chase the dream?
Central Division Champs
@WillyD1025
1. This team has been through a lot of adversity this season & still found a way to win the Central. 🙌
2. Congrats Dante Fabbro 1st NHL goal & Arvi for franchise record breaking goals scored in a single season. 👏
3. Bring on the Stars!
Here’s what I got
@cmace30
1. As Lavy called it- “Fluky” Goals gave Jets control early.
2.
#Preds
down just 2-1 through most of 2nd- Credit WPG for strong Def. play not allowing NSH to push & engage crowd.
3. I’m heartbroken for this special group. They will rise again.
Smitty!!! 🔥 Here’s what I got
@cmace30
1. Better sustained focus for 65 mins. Gave up very few chances 5 on 5.
2. Grimaldi & Jarnkrok- excellent work on
#Preds
4th line. Rocco adds needed element of speed
3. Best
#SmashvilleStandingO
of the season tonight by far. Love it!
Bummer
@cmace30
1. Promising start.
#Preds
Cashed in after dirty hit by Perry. But not having Ellis was a huge thing
2. Another stretch where NSH couldn’t stop the bleeding. Not having Ellis a factor but have to somehow find a way
3. What a showing by
#Smashville
fans.
Proud to be on radio call for
@VandyFootball

I admire every Commodore suiting up today & their will to finish the season for each other under difficult circumstances. May they be at their very best today.
#AnchorDown
Derrick Henry’s last 4 regular season games for
#Titans
, last 3 yrs:
2018: 87-585 6.7 7TD
2019: 97-549 5.7 6TD
2020: 107-710 6.6 5TD
Total: 291- 1844 6.4 18TD
(In TWELVE GAMES)
Has that ever been done?
We often forget about the people behind the job. My ❤️ goes out to the Laviolette & McCarthy family. Some of the most passionate, caring people I’ve ever met.
These goodbyes are tough. Class act and inspiring leader. Involved in so many big
@PredsNHL
moments. Enjoyed the heck out of covering Ryan Ellis (aka "The Beard of Destiny" right
@cmace30
?). Wish him the best!
Right behind you from The ‘Peg
@cmace30
1. Credit Lavy for the bold moves to add the right ingredients.
2.
#Preds
mindset was on. Had the swagger of a great team on the road for 60 minutes.
3. Subban- strongest game of the playoffs yet.
3 Things Late Night Edition
@WillyD1025
1. Total team rebound. From Pekka on out that was the cleanest 60 we’ve seen in a while.
2. Hartnell made a big impact in 1st period. Went right after Buff & did what he does, work!
3. Eat, sleep, repeat on Saturday at the Stone!
Greetings from up north
@cmace30
1. Every single person contributed- including Pete Rogers with the perfect handoff
2. Sissons and Hartnell with booming hits at key times late 2nd period.
3. Penalty Kill goes 4-4.
#StillAlive
What’s up Daunic
@WillyD1025
1. A lot of people declared this series over after Game 5. Guess what? IT’S NOT!
2. With playoff lives on the line,
#Preds
play their best game of the playoffs yet. Hands down!
3. Fil & Arvi ... what is this Swedish sorcery we see before our eyes?
So much fun this morning and ALWAYS an honor to skate with the
@PredsNHL
. The players, coaches & trainers were so awesome to me. Thanks fellas! 🙏💛🏒🥅
#MuchLove
#Preds
I Likea da Juice
@cmace30
1.
#Preds
Weathered the storm. Huge contrast to Winter Classic. Much improved in that area.
2. Stars last 3g: no 5 on 5 goals scored by either team. That’s how they roll
3. NSH puck management: solid. Little more O & this could get REALLY fun..
Another gem
@WillyD1025
1. Juuse Saros is SICK. Talk amongst yaselves. 🔥🔥🔥
2. Jared Tinordi just gets it. The way he stands up for his teammates & physically dominates made a huge impact in this game 💪
3. Special teams very special lately🔥
#Preds
Now that was a wild ride
@cmace30
1.
#Preds
trailed 1-0, 2-1, 4-2, & 5-4.
Just kept climbing back. 4 in the 3rd— twice scored on consecutive shots.
2. 19 goals in 4 games! High Octane start. Duchene is flying.
3. Bonino— CLUTCH goal to tie the game for a 4th time
Watch the right hand of the Dolphin player on the right arm of Garror after the ball bounces but BEFORE he touches the ball. What is the rule here? Is that a penalty for interference?
#Titans
Our man
@cmace30
had to multi-task this morning. Helping
@PredsNHL
on the ice taking shots at morning skate, then quick production meeting for
@PredsOnFSTN
on the way off..
Here’s what I got
@cmace30
1. Number 9 has it cranking. 8-7-15 in his final 11 games.
2.
#Preds
brilliant goalie tandem caps off one final win.
#Pekka4Vezina
campaign is complete.
3. Memorable regular season. Now the quest begins. Up first: the young & talented AVS
A look at EDMONTON. Commonwealth Stadium in the distance (Eskimos), top of Rogers Arena, and downtown. Temp is -13 F. Low of -35 tonight. HIGH tomorrow of -23. Even the locals are saying “Dude, it’s cold”. We agree.
#Preds
Tim Corbin takes the stage with Teddy and Susan Everett as the VandyBoys get their national championship trophy. Coach Corbin and Teddy go holding hands
#Titans
note:
With the HOU garbage TD the Titans are now 4-1 in “one score games” this year & 17-5 over the last 3 seasons.
If you listen closely the Analytics Experts are still screaming “UNSUSTAINABLE!!!!”
You’ll also hear Mike Vrabel laughing at them.
Here’s what I got
@cmace30
1.
#Preds
faced 3 50+ win teams from last year this week— beat all 3. 2 GA total.
2. Josi goal— Filthy
3.
#92
- complete player. Rocked Bergeron on 1st shift. 16 faceoff wins.
@NHLNetwork
might need to rethink Top 20 Center list from offseason.
I said it on our broadcast— I don’t think we would’ve made it as a hockey market without
@ZenofTerryCrisp
&
@PeteWeberSports
showing us the way from the very start.
Greatest hockey ambassadors you could have!
And…Sheila Crisp is a SUPERSTAR!!
