Filip Forsberg calls out Seth Jones: «time to get exposed.»
Over the weekend, veteran Nashville Predators forward Filip Forsberg took to social media to criticise former teammate Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Seth Jones. As both the Blackhawks and the Predators are in the NHL's Central Division, Jones will see Forsberg and the Predators frequently. Jones also signed a long-term contract with the Blackhawks, so it seems likely that these two will continue to feud for some time, and Forsberg is confident he will triumph over Jones.
"Can't believe you got traded back to our division, time to get exposed," wrote Forsberg on Instagram.
Jones and Forsberg played together when both were members of the Predators, and I suspect that this is more of a friendly rivalry than anything else but I honestly can't be 100% certain. Given that the comment was made in text it could very well be that there is a genuine dislike between these two from their time together in Nashville, but again I suspect that is probably not the case here.
Regardless of whether or not this is just some banter between a couple of old friends, or if it is a genuine rivalry between these two competitors, I think stuff like this is a great way to promote the game. Fans of both the Predators and the Blackhawks will now have an additional reason to tune into their matchups this upcoming season with the added draw of a personal rivalry between two high profile opposing players.
