NASHVILLE -- The Nashville Predators know they play in a nontraditional hockey market, but they wouldn't have it any other way.
The passion for hockey always has been there in Nashville, and it will be on display at the 2016 Honda NHL All-Star Game on Sunday (5 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVA Sports) and at different events during All-Star Weekend.

Pretty nice tournament, I thought. Ok, how about not bad.
Good feels for John Scott

Now Pup, if you can call out a 1-0 all star game, how about you working on some lottery numbers for us :)
I absolutely loved it!
And having John Scott’s pregnant wife there with their 2 young daughters, saying how proud she and the children were!
A nice shot at the NHL big wigs who insulted Scott by asking him to drop out so as not to embarrass the kids.
BOO! To Gary Bettman!
Don’t know if you watched the All Star game last night but it was most definitely not a joke.
I hope they keep the 3 on 3 format because that was awesome to watch!
