Welcome to another interview version of 32 Thoughts, the podcast presented as always

by the all new GMC AT4 lineup.

Now I can't even pretend to be objective about this next hockey player, that's how much

I enjoy watching him play hockey.

Next to the point where after he does anything, I get a note from David Ambers, something

along the lines of, did you see what your boy just did?

Tanner Genose, a 24-year-old rookie winger playing with the Nashville Predators.

And when you think of Genose, think of the word impact.

He's worn the top rookie scores in the NHL, and he has this old school physicality mentality.

He makes hits, he takes hits, he's not shy about stepping up.

As we mentioned in the interview, one of my favorite things about watching Tanner Genose

is watching guys that don't know him, take runs at him, and then get knocked over at the

mid-a-day-inditiate collision.

He's one of the most jacked players in the league as well, all the clichés, light matches

off him, pouring up like a bad report card, all of it.

He plays on a line with Colton Sizzens and Yakov Trennen, one of the best third lines

in the entire NHL.

He's a great fit for Nashville in a lot of ways, who, you know, even going back to the

early days of the Predators, fans have always liked rough and tough hockey players.

Oh, and one more thing about Genose, he was never drafted in the NHL.

His story is one of hard work and perseverance.

Let's get to the interview.
