Shaun Smith and Ann Kimmel of Penalty Box Radio take a closer look at the shocking 1-5 start by a NASHVILLE PREDATORS roster that entered the regular season with high expectations. We discuss our biggest early disappointment, what has brought instant success on special teams - and it ISN'T Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault on the power play - and how Juuse Saros is faring as a top goaltender who is known for being a slow starter.

In Part 2 of this episode, Ann continues to talk about Marc Del Gaizo, but decides to stop (for now) so the duo can discuss Power Play improvements and continued Penalty Kill dominance. Of course, the show ends with the PBR Awards. This week, a PBR Awards FIRST! What is it? You'll have to listen til the end to find out!

Ann and Shaun are back after an off week. They start off quickly with an evaluation of how the Nashville Predators responded to Barry Trotz's threats. Shaun also goes off on a rant about...well, a lot of things: promises broken, second line centers, doing just enough to stay in good graces with the GM and fans, and probably some other things. The duo discusses Dante Fabbro's waiver and Ann talks (all day?) about Marc Del Gaizo. Del Gaizo talk continues in Part 2.
