On The Forecheck: for Nashville Predators fans

Nick and Shaun are FIRED UP about the lack of respect the Nashville Predators are getting from pundits around the league, despite the red-hot Preds currently owning first place in the Central Division. We debate whether recent thinkpieces are simply bad takes, or if there's something about this team we're seriously missing. Plus, we sound off on why the Filip Forsberg trade talk is a death sentence to the team, Tanner Jeannot's Calder chances, and our favorite Mid-South snow day memories.

Nick and Shaun examine why the Preds were able to stay hot despite a depleted roster, and why Colton Sissons and Tanner Jeannot deserve a lot of props for their play this week. Plus, in the spirit of Christmas, the OTF crew debates the top 5 Christmas movies of all time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Bryan, Shaun and Nick of OnTheForecheck.com discuss Roman Josi winning the 2019-20 Norris Trophy Monday night and his competitors - was Josi's win as dominant as the voters showed?
