Thanks for recognizing Dan Ellis -- what a great story for the Nashville Predators. He has worked hard, is always well spoken in the post game interviews and truly held us in the playoffs this year. Its players like Elly that give Canadians and hockey players such a good reputation!

Nashville loves Dan Ellis -- lets hope the management also recognizes what a gem they have.
