A crazy night at Sommet Center last night as the Predators managed to squeak out a 5-4 win against a determined bunch of Los Angeles Kings, delivering free Frosty's to the almost 15,000 in attendance.After jumping out to another 3-0 lead, the crowd got the sense of dejavu all over again as the game looked eerily like Thursday debacle against the Flames. A weak second period, Autographed Colin Kaepernick Jersey some silly penalties, a failure to clear the front of the net.Although a win is a win, this one still causes some concern as the Preds head to Washington for a date with the Capitals.That was the wacky part... the touching part involved the Hockey Fights Cancer activities at the rink last night... I had the honor of meeting quite a few folks that are battling or have battled various forms of cancer. Two stand out to me... a couple of children that watched pre-game skate from Russell Wilson Jersey the penalty box, Caleb and Lakesha. Caleb, who celebrated his last chemo treatment a few months back, a quiet and shy child, but the excitement of being so close to the players was evident in his eyes. His family surrounding him with love and support as they joked how he and his big brother would pick on their little sister. You could feel the love radiating around this special family.Lakesha was at her first hockey game with her dad. She has a beautiful smile that in a year or two will melt boy's hearts (and terrify dad!) She is currently undergoing treatment and told me she was going to "kick cancer's butt!" and I so completely believe her.These families touched my heart last night... their quiet strength... their indomitable faith... their humor and confidence in facing something that no parent or child should ever have to face. These families, and the DeMarcus Ware Broncos jersey countless more that are in this fight, my prayers and the prayers of the entire Pred Nation are with you.If you haven't yet... join the fight.

In last night's game 3 of the World Series, Tim McGraw delivered the first ball. Tim McGraw of "I Like It I Love It" Predator goal scoring song fame... he also has a few other hits... Marshawn Lynch Jersey :-)We know his connection to the Preds... His connection to Philly? Some may not know that Tim McGraw is the son of famous Phillies relief pitcher and classic baseball character Tug McGraw who passed away in 2004. Tug got the save on the series clinching win in 1980, clinching the only championship in Phillies history. To Autographed Aaron Rodgers Jersey this day, one of my favorite baseball memories.It is reported in today's Philadelphia Daily News that Tim McGraw sprinkled some of his father's ashes on the mound at Citizens Bank Park last night. Nice to know that some of the Tugger made it over to the new ballpark. Phillie fans will call that one an omen as the Phightin's won a tight one last night to take a 2-1 lead in the series.Also... Pred fan Taylor Swift sang the National Anthem at game 3 last night...PC9527607mms2016.com
