As you’ll have seen atop the list, the IIHF World Championships started today in Marek Mazanec‘s native Czech Republic. The newest Predators signing Steve Moses made an immediate impression by scoring a ridiculous backhander on soon-to-be teammate Pekka Rinne. I’m sure that will provide an instant laugh once he joins Nashville camp.
