It wasn't all that long ago that Predators Senior Director of Broadcasting Bob Kohl and his team came up with an idea.
The premise was simple in theory: let's find another way to talk to a player and get their insight on the game - but what if it could happen during the actual gameplay?
After the appropriate parties signed off on the plan that seemed just crazy enough to work, a headset made its way to the Predators bench midway through the third period of a game early in the 2006-07 season, and over the ears of the backup goaltender, which on that particular evening, was one Chris Mason.
