The Preds have been bounced from the playoffs despite giving the Hurricanes a run for the money to the surprise of everyone. Making the playoffs after the season they had was seen as a success, but now GMDP has some tough questions to answer. Oh, and the expansion draft is coming up as well. Now is the time to see if he can work some magic for next season while maintaining the youth movement we sa...

The 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs have begun! Well, for everyone EXCEPT the North division. It's also bracket time for us here at MCG. The annual money puck bet is back and after looking at the brackets, it appears to be Matt and Daniel verses Kyle. We go over the games, make our picks, and talk about the tire fire of a first game against Carolina. Here's hoping we make better line up decisi...

Everyone loves a bit of magic, specially magic numbers. The Preds look to bring their magic number down from seven to zero so they can clinch a spot in the playoffs. Should they make it, and by all accounts they will, they have to get past a first round opponent of the Lightning, Panthers, or Hurricanes. Hopefully with Saros and a bit of luck on their side, the Preds will withstand the challenge a...

The Preds have defied the odds. In just a few short weeks, they are now looking claim the final playoff spot in the Central Division and be playoff contenders. For this to happen, they have to hold off the Stars and Blackhawks who are looking for that final spot as well. The questions now become will they make it, who will they play, and how far do they go? Should they fail to place or make an ear...

Poile, you got to let me know, will I stay or will I go? If you say that I am yours, I'll be a Pred until the end of time. So you got to let me know, will I stay or will I go? That's the song the Preds were singing just two weeks ago when the season seemed to a wash. Suddenly though, the Preds find themselves on six game win streak after beating Dallas on Tuesday night. The question now...

Almost halfway through the season, the Preds will need a miracle to make the playoffs. Trade rumors abound Forsberg despite assurances from David Poile the franchise forward is not going to be traded. It's time for work to be done before the trade deadline though, as the Poile needs to accept this team is mediocre at best. With injuries mounting, the youth movement is getting a chance to shin...

The Preds have spiraled out of control since our last episode. While getting a win against the Blue Jackets Saturday night, the Preds have hardly been exciting on the ice, going 3-5-0 in their last eight games. The offense has dried up and left the front office, the players, the coach, and the fans with a lot of soul searching to do. Should the Preds be sellers at the deadline? If so, who do we tr...

This is a fast and furious season and every point matters. After taking one on the chin against Carolina, the Preds have been on a roller coaster ride starting with a penalty kill breakdown against Dallas, steadying themselves against Chicago and finally being manhandled by Tampa. What do the Preds need to do the correct the ship before the season is lost and outside of Forsberg and Arvy, where ar...

The 2021 NHL season has begun! It's a compressed 56 game season and every game is a playoff game. The divisions are different, there are new rules and protocols and a constantly rotating Taxi Squad. We'll take as long as the game we love can be played. We have new faces in the Preds offense and defense this season as Poile pulled the trigger and sent players packing after last season. Ho...

We are down to four. The Islanders and Lightning throw it down in the East while the Golden Knights look to break the Stars who have been surprisingly resilient in the playoffs. Can they do it? We talk these games and more as we look to see who will the final two teams remaining to compete for the Stanley Cup. Music City Gold is powered by 7Element , providing military veterans and first responder...

The First Round is almost done. Brackets are being busted and are we surprised by the results? Out in the West, Vegas easily takes Chicago. Colorado destroys Arizona. Dallas and Calgary are playing fisticuffs while Vancouver looks poised to take down the defending champs St. Louis. Over in the East, Philadelphia and Montreal duke it out while Columbus gave it all they had in Game 1 alone against T...

The match-ups are set and that means there is only one thing left. Time to fill out your Stanley Cup Playoffs 2020 bracket! We didn't so hot last year, but also no one else did. Who saw the Blue Jackets sweeping the Lightning and who saw them having a rematch this year?! Will the Canadians and the Canes embrace the scrappy underdog roles in the East? Can the Blues and the Bruns get it togethe...

It's been a long five months, but we are back to work! The Stanley Cup Qualifiers are about to wrap up and teams have been dropping like crazy in upsets that were unthinkable earlier in the year. The Preds were one of those teams, losing their series to the Coyotes and leaving us with the question of "What next?" for a team which rocketed to unprecedented heights and now just appear...

The past week has proven without a doubt we are #NashvilleStrong with teams in the NHL, AHL, and ECHL reaching out to help the Nashville community after the devastating tornadoes which wrecked chaos through downtown Nashville, surrounding counties, and in Putnam County. We also talk briefly on how the coronavirus is affecting the NHL and look at the possibility that Pekka Rinne's days as the...

The 2020 #NHLTradeDeadline has come and gone with over 50 players involved in trades throughout the day. Some teams loaded up for a run, others tore it down, and a few hoarded draft picks for a massive rebuild. We hit the highlights throughout the day giving our thoughts and discuss if the Preds are still in a position to make the playoffs despite trading Matt Irwin to Anaheim and signing Grimaldi...

The Preds are on the cusp of making the playoffs, hovering only three to four points away from a wild card spot. We invited Robby Stanley back to the show to discuss the team’s play under new head coach John Hynes, their mindset, offensive struggles, if the Preds are buyers or sellers at the trade deadline and more. Music City Gold is powered by 7Element , providing military veterans and first res...

The Preds Bye Week is here along with the NHL All-Star Week around the corner. During this time the Preds will look to rest up and see if they can race to claim a wild spot leading up to the playoffs with new head coach John Hynes at the helm. We take a look at Rinne’s goal and Forsberg’s lacrosse goal, plus the shocking news of the firing of Ray Shero in New Jersey and Gerard Gallant in Vegas. Th...

Head Coach Peter Laviolette and Associate Coach Kevin McCarthy have been relieved of their coaching duties in a rare midseason move by David Poile. Michael Gallagher of the Nashville Post joins the show to discuss the move, the performance of the team so far, and what possible trade options there are for the Preds at the deadline. Music City Gold is part of the Penalty Box Radio network and powere...

We're in the middle of December and the Preds are struggling. Almost in last place in their division and outside of the playoffs looking in, people are starting to push towards a change in the coaching staff if the team's luck doesn't turn around. We've already seen the Devils and Sharks release their coaches due to lackluster performances. It begs the question how much more pa...

If you had 6 million dollars, what would you do with it? You could buy a house, a car, or whatever your heart desires. For Kyle Turris and the Preds though, the question has yet to be answered as Turris has now been scratched for seven straight games. David Poile is behind Coach Laviolette on his decision, leaving us all wondering if this is the best use of the Preds own Six Million Dollar Man. On...

It's been a long time coming, but finally we got him. Justin Bradford,  Editor-in-Chief of Penalty Box Radio and the commissioner of the South Eastern Collegiate Hockey Conference  joins Kyle and Matt to talk some Preds hockey and highlight the quickly growing college hockey environment in the southeastern United States. Music City Gold is part of the Penalty Box Radio network and powered by...

It's a been a big week for the Preds as Roman Josi signs an eight-year, $72.472 million dollar contract giving him $9.059 million a season. Watson also inks a three-year 4.5 million dollar contract and if that wasn't enough, the Preds officially release their 2020 Winter Classic jersey to the public. We also take a look at Svechnikov's lacrosse goal against the Flames and Tkachuk&ap...

Robby Stanley from NHL.com joins us this week to talk some Preds hockey. How do we feel about Matt Duchene and should Kyle Turris get more ice time since he reappears to showing signs of a rebound season? Should Dante Fabbro stick with Ekholm the entire season and for the love of all what do we do about this third pairing? We go over all these and more with Robby and he shares a few stories he&apo...

It's been a long off season, but the guys are back behind the mics ready to talk up a new season of the NHL and the Predators. The Preds traded P.K. Subban off to the Devils and picked up Matt Duchene. He's already made an impact and given the Preds two deadly top lines. The power play seems to be doing MUCH better as well. However, will it be enough for them to burst back into the posts...

Well, the season is over. The St. Louis Blues are the Stanley Cup champions. It was a Game 7 to remember for the Blues as they win the Cup for the first time in franchise history. We go over Game 7, talk some Preds news, and wrap up Season Two of Music City Gold. It's been a fantastic season and we thank you for your continued support! The off-season is now here and we'll see you in Octo...
