Key information here is recognizing the Nashville Predators are a hockey team. I had NAENAE in here for most of the solve. It’s a nice touch in a themeless IMO when symmetric long fill has a little something in common. I wasn’t particularly wowed by the long answers, but the parallel middle downs (5d – ) DON’T BET ON IT and (23d – ) JUST A LITTLE are a small highlight.
