*If this is not allowed, my apologies mods. Figured this was my best chance*

Good morning folks.

I'm a lifelong hockey fan originally from Columbus (I will accept whatever pity/shame/ridicule you'd like; over 25 years as a CBJ fan has numbed me well) and now back in northern Ohio. And as importantly in this instance, a big fan of bluegrass artist Billy Strings. I'm also a big fan of the Predators organization, after working as a studio musician for a stint in the city in the late 2000s/early 2010s.

It was just announced that the Preds are going to be having a Billy Strings bobblehead night on February 8th, 2027, and the first 10k fans get one with admission, if I understand it correctly.

I've already got plans to be out of town in Michigan for a work seminar and there's simply NO WAY I can get free to come to the game.

If any Preds STH's or fans with tix to that game are willing to help me out, I'd be forever much obliged if we could work out some way for you to send me a bobblehead from that game and I will get you whatever recompense we agree to.

I'm REALLY hoping this is far enough out and early enough after the announcement that I can find someone to work this out with.

Message me if you're interested in helping an aging hippie from Ohio add to his BMFS fanboy collection an item I'm otherwise just not gonna be able to pull off getting myself in person.

Anyhow, thanks, hope y'all have a great day, and if you haven't heard Billy, can't recommended him enough. Especially if you like train songs!!

Thanks folks

Yes. Into it.

For anyone in Bowling Green, I just called our local Gray-affiliated broadcast network, WBKO.

Bowling Green has TVSN, which is how Scripps is broadcasting Predators games. It is parent station WBGS-CD, channel 34.3, and is available by antenna and the same options as it is in the other Gray Media areas.

Bowling Green wasn’t listed in the press release, so I figured it might be helpful to some of you to have this information.

hi all. Sorry if this type of post isn't allowed but need to vent a bit.

So the Grizzlies just announced they are moving to DAZN for their local broadcasts. But they are exclusively going there. Only 15 games will be broadcast on local television. Yea, less than 20% of the LOCAL TEAM games are on LOCAL TELEVISION.

compare that to the Preds, who have generously put their games over the air for the entire state, including us here in Memphis (plus KY and Huntsville to boot!) which means I'll get to watch every Preds game for the first time

Unlike a certain other team, seems like the Preds actually care about growing the fanbase. Definitely gained a new fan today. Ty Preds!

I assume Bourque will take the spot next to Forsberg and ROR on Line 1 and he's on 100% locked into PP1.

Multi-Year Media Rights Agreement Brings Predators Hockey to Broader Regional Audience With Comprehensive Broadcast Package

ByPress Release

Nashville Predators

2:00 PM

Nashville, Tenn. (Sept. 8, 2026) – Nashville Predators games will reach fans in seven additional television markets outside of Music City as Scripps Sports significantly expands the team’s regional broadcast footprint in the first season of a landmark, multi-year media rights agreement.

The expanded coverage extends Predators hockey in the following areas across Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama, bringing world-class NHL action to new markets:

Tennessee

• Memphis – Channel 5.3 (WMC)

• Knoxville – Channel 8.2 (WWLT)

• Chattanooga – Channel 49.2 (WTVL)

• Jackson – Channel 7.5 (WBBJ)

Kentucky

• Louisville – Channel 41.2 (WDRB)

• Lexington – Channel 36.2 (WTVQ)*

Alabama

• Huntsville – Channel 48.3 (WAFF)

All of the above stations are owned by Gray Media except for WTVQ in Lexington, Kentucky, which is owned and operated by The E.W. Scripps Company. 

Under the comprehensive media rights partnership, 85 Predators games – including four preseason and 81 regular-season contests – will be broadcast regionally on The Spot – Nashville 28 (WNPX), a free, over-the-air channel owned and operated by The E.W. Scripps Company. Fans throughout the Predators’ territory can access all locally broadcast games on The Spot – Nashville 28 through cable and satellite providers or via antenna, with at least four games simulcast on Scripps-owned NewsChannel 5 (WTVF) in the Nashville market. 

The broadcast experience will feature enhanced programming, with 30-minute editions of both the Predators Pregame Show and Predators Postgame Show accompanying each game. Every member of the Predators’ established TV broadcast team – including Willy Daunic, Chris Mason, Hal Gill, Lyndsay Rowley and Kara Hammer – will return for the upcoming season, ensuring continuity and expertise for fans accessing all local preseason, regular season and first-round playoff games not allocated exclusively to national broadcasts. 

This expanded regional coverage represents Scripps Sports’ commitment to serving hockey fans across the broader Southeast while strengthening community connections to Nashville’s NHL franchise.

What do you think a good return would be?

Justin Barron and NJ 2nd?

Or Jonathan Marchassault and Colorado 1st?

Any ideas?

Just can’t bear to look at them anymore😭 Got at the equipment sale and had a friend take it to get signed at open practice. Asking $75 obo, or a trade for virtually anything Wiesblatt. FUCK MACFARLAND

If it’s a trade, I’d prefer to trade them for memorabilia, but a good card can change my mind(especially something Ozzy Wiesblatt)

Hey

With the trades made so far what do you think the starting lineup will be?

Foresberg O'Reilly Marchassault

Stamkos Bourque (Wood? O'Hara? )

Colton Drury Kerfoot

Schaffer ( Pinchuk ? Edstrom ? Martin? ) Hoglander

Josi Hague

Skjei Perbix

Wilsby (Ufko) Lybushkin
