The Predators players still in Nashville have been engaging in three-on-three games as they try to keep sharp during the lockout. "We had some good competitions going, and losers buy lunch. It kind of makes it more fun when something's on the line. We've had some good games and ribbing each other," goaltender Chris Mason said. The practices are also a distraction from the ongoing CBA process, which has been nothing if not dramatic lately.
