    Are penalties really that bad for Nashville Predators?

    Who is Nashville Predators MVP? Biggest surprise? Disappointment?

    Roman Josi and Juuse Saros are All-Stars. Filip Forsberg is playing like one. That means the All-Star break is here. The Nashville Predators are in second place. The team's identity seems to be solid. So why not hand out some a-little-past-midseason awards. Predators beat writer Paul Skrbina and Tennessean columnist Gentry Estes give you their pics in the latest edition of Catfish Corner.

    Hey, now, Roman Josi's not an All-Star. Say what?

    He's having the best season of his career, better than his Norris Tropy-winning season of a not-so-distant past. Roman Josi also is breaking Nashville Predators franchise records left and right. So what gives? Why won't he be in Vegas with Juuse Saros for All-Star weekend? Predators beat reporter Paul Skrbina and Tennessean columnist Gentry Estes discuss this and more on the latest edition of Catfish Corner.

    So far, so good for the Nashville Predators this season, but why?

    The Nashville Predators have won five in a row and in first place in the Central Division. But their latest victory, Tuesday against the Colorado, may be the proof people have been waiting for that this team is legit. In the latest edition of the Catfish Corner podcast, Tennessean Predators beat writer Paul Skrbina and columnist Gentry Estes discuss the major reasons why this team is not only legitimate, but also could be trouble come the postseason.

    Is it close to time for Filip Forsberg to go?

    Filip Forsberg doesn't have his back to the future.  The Nashville Predators forward isn't interested in predicting what's in front of him, either, when it comes to his next contract. Going into Thursday, Forsberg had seven goals -- including a four-goal game and an overtime winner -- in seven games since returning from an injury that caused him to miss nine. The unrestricted free agent to-be has yet to sign an extension with the Predators. Tennessean Predators reporter Paul Skrbina and columnist Gentry Estes discuss why not trading him might not be the best idea in the latest edition of Catfish Corner.

    MVP? Biggest surprise? Is this team overachieving?

    Who has been the Nashville Predators' MVP so far nearly a quarter of the way through the season? Who has been the biggest surprise? Biggest disappointment? What's up with Cracker Barrel on Thanksgiving? Tennessean Predators beat reporter Paul Skrbina and columnist Gentry Estes discuss all that and more after Nashville's victory against the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night at Bridgestone Arena on the latest edition of Catfish Corner.

    So far, pretty good. Now what?

    The Nashville Predators were two points out of first place in the Central Division going into Thursday, when they were supposed to play the Ottawa Senators. That game was postponed because 10 Senators players were in the league's COVID-19 protocol, giving Nashville a couple of extra days in Montreal, where they will face the Canadiens on Saturday night.  Tennessean Predators beat reporter Paul Skrbina and columnist Gentry Estes discuss the surprising start and some reasons behind it, along with the departure of Rocco Grimaldi to Milwaukee, the play of Juuse Saros, the success without Filip Forsberg in the lineup and the identity that's finally becoming evident on the latest edition of Catfish Corner.

    Pekka Rinne is coming back to Nashville

Tennessean Predators beat writer Paul Skrbina and columnist Gentry Estes both spoke to Rinne this week and share their thoughts about his legacy. They also discuss the state of the team through the first 10 games of the season.
