Preds Players Make Selections for Ideal Thanksgiving Day

Predators players won't be getting together this year for a Thanksgiving feast like they normally would, but they're still looking forward to the holiday - and the food, of course - on Thursday.
The debate on favorite Thanksgiving side dishes is always hotly contested, and while most of the guys go for the healthier options even on a day that typically includes going back for seconds and thirds and fourths, there's bound to be some cheating going on around the dinner table somewhere in Nashville.
The holiday also offers time to reflect, and while not everyone on the team grew up celebrating Thanksgiving in November - or at all, for that matter - each member of the Preds will certainly find a way to enjoy their celebration on a smaller scale this year.

Here's how two Americans, three Canadians and three Swedes would put together their ideal Thanksgiving Day.
