Play-by-play guy Tom Callahan was between the pipes for the Alumni Preds- at one point after allowing a softie, Coach Terry Crisp came on the ice to show him how to hug the post better. Grim Reaper actually dropped the gloves (sorry I can't remember the blues alum who was his opponent) only to hug his rival after they cleared away the gloves. They were then seen playing cards and eating pizza in the penalty box. Brian Pole delighted his Dad in the crowd by scoring a breakaway and another goal, but failing on a penalty shot. My moment of magic came twice after "Number 71, J. P. DUUUUUUUUUUMONT" found the back of the net twice. Oh yes, 303 crew members didn't miss a beat from their time away with a "We Want Gretzky" chant directed towards the guys from st. loser. The PREDS alum actually "won" by a 9-8 margin, but by being back in a NASHVILLE PREDATORS hockey environment, I felt I achieved the real victory.
