----------------------------------
We reached out to the owners of the Big Tree Inn for comment and they could only confirm that they are closed this evening to the public for a private Predators team function.

A respected source that is currently inside the Big Tree Inn with the team has also sent us an exclusive pic of AB, Shady and GM/Coach Mike sharing wings and beers! Quite the celebration appears to be going on. There are drinks, wings, smiles and laughter, all around.

The Preds have also confirmed that the Press Conference remains on for this evening at 8 PM and that BOTH Antonio and Shady will share the podium with GM/Head Coach Mike SantaLucia. We're hearing RFA TE Jordan Reed may be at the podium as well.

A long stressful day appears to be reaching a very happy conclusion. Wow!
