Not sure how I feel about this. Predators have done a fabulous job of marketing and promoting the team over the years. I know they keep coming up short in the play offs year after year but they are still a realitvily new franchise and thats to be expected. But they have been in the thick of things a couple of times.

Been to a few games in Huntsville, very entertaining. One thing about hockey is all the grown men wearing hockey jerseys that look big enough to be considered dresses

That's what they said about it when the Franchise came to Nashville. Yet the fans embraced it whole hardheadedly. I played Youth Hockey since the age of 5 and played on a adult league at both Municipal Auditorium and Ice Centennial till hockey and motorcycle injuries sidelined me for good. I love the sport and can see why fans love it so much. It is far from a Yankee sport.

They've been in Nashville for over 20 years. How are they "relatively new"?

That is relatively new in terms of NHL hockey.

They are the titans of hockey. You know, the ones you talk smack about. But let me guess. This is different.

Totally different yes. Predators are a relatively new to NHL franchise starting up in 1998 . I think only 4 other franchises have come on board since. They played for Stanley cup playoffs in their first 4 or 5 years and have been flirting with it almost ever since. Very Strong Franchise.

Where as the titans are nothing more than a rebadgged houston oilers franchise that has been around since the 1960's and really has not showed the NFL jack squat.

If you want to compare success stories.... it comes on the side of the Predators.
