This week, Ann brings you a solo pod only podcast. She talks about Game 81, goes into "much too early" takeaways from the (almost over) season, she discusses what WAS NOT a problem in Nashville this season, and takes a look at something VERY SPECIFIC Head Coach Andrew Brunette is looking for in the final game of the season. She also discusses Aiden Fink's entry level contract and his potential (likely) first NHL appearance in Game 82. Rookie Lap anyone?

Content warning is on solely because of Luke Evangelista using the "s" word.

Special Guest co-host Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean joins Shaun for this episode while Ann is on special assignment. The guys discuss, for possibly the last time this season, whether or not the Predators are a playoff team, the whys and why nots, and then go in depth on some of those reasons in the second segment. In the third segment, they take an in depth look at who they think are the most serious candidates for the next GM of the team. They both name their favorite and explain why. Finally, Alex announces the Nashville Chapter of the PHWA nominee for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy (the nominee is a friend of the show) and they close the show with a preview of the next PBR Week.

On this episode of Penalty Box Radio Live, Ann and Shaun start off with Happys and Crappys from around the NHL. Then, they declare a State of Emergency for the Nashville Predators this PBR week. The gang takes a look at what went wrong over the three game losing streak, how it impacted the Preds playoff chances, and take a deep dive on what's nagging them about one decision in particular. After that, they look at the upcoming week and go into detail about how this is the week that won't necessarily make it for the Preds, but it is situation that could break it for them.
