I’m not trying to be sensational, but John Hynes caused some commotion throughout the Nashville Predators fan community when he made comments on the radio on Friday that Eeli Tolvanen may not be in the line up for Game 1. This caused a shockwave that threw a lot of people off as they looked toward tonight’s game. However, he was able to address the situation during media availability on Friday afternoon.
First and foremost, he got a major elephant out of the room by saying that the lineup would probably change from game to game. Now, whether or not this happens remains to be seen, as the nightly lineup during the qualifying round last season seemed almost set in stone.
