#45: Predators 5, Hawks 2 – Knowing Better but Choosing to Fail

Rose Rankin January 9, 2020 0

It was a game they had to win, so of course they lost. I don’t want to hear anything from the organ-I-zation about how there’s a lot of hockey left, and there’s still half a season to go. Fuck that noise. If they actually wanted to do anything about the playoffs then literally

Game #45 – Predators vs. Hawks Spotlight: Poile’s Last Stand?

Sam Fels January 9, 2020 0

One of the things people marvel about the Nashville Predators is their stability. John Hynes, hired this week, is only their third coach in the 20 years of their history. They’ve only had one GM, and that’s David Poile. Something about southern loyalty or whatever. One might have to ask though…why? Because when you total […]

Game #19: Hawks 7, Predators 2 – Just By Chance You Crossed the Diamond With The Pearl

Rose Rankin November 16, 2019 0

Guys…I think Pekka Rinne has a terminal case of shit hip! After basically laughing publicly at the Hawks’ terrible performance a couple weeks ago, Rinne got himself laughed right out of the game tonight, giving up 4 goals on 14 shots. Ya hate to see it. And this shit went full-on DLR. Let’s get to […]

vs. RECORDS: Hawks 7-7-4   9-6-3 PUCK DROP: 7pm TV: NBCSN Chicago WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW TRAILER: On The Forecheck You probably didn’t expect, after that complete shellacking two weeks ago in the same venue, when these two met up again the Hawks would be only three points behind the Predators. And with a […]

Game #19 – Hawks vs. Predators Spotlight: So He Ran Away….GRANLUND

Sam Fels November 16, 2019 0

Mikael Granlund‘s career might be measured in just how much it never quite was. When Granlund came up with the Wild in 2013, it was assumed that Mikko Koivu was only keeping the #1 center role warm for him. Here we are nearly seven years later, and Koivu is somehow still there while Granlund is […]

Game #19 – Hawks vs. Predators: Hedley Lamarr’s Muggers, Buggerers, Bushwhackers

Sam Fels November 16, 2019 0

Ryan Johansen – Treat Boy here always gets labeled as one of the top centers in the game, and we still can’t figure out why. His numbers the past two seasons mirror that of Jonathan Toews, and everyone’s relatively sure he looks like the host of “Tales From The Crypt.” RyJo Sen played his ass off […]

Game #11 – Hawks vs. Predators Spotlight: Gran Turris-mo

Sam Fels October 29, 2019 0

If you feel like the Predators acquire a tweener center every season — one who’s not quite a #1 but can be more than a #2 pivot — you’re not alone. Three years ago it was Ryan Johansen. Two years ago it was Kyle Turris. Now it’s Matt Duchene, whom they got because they weren’t […]

You Ain’t Shane, You Ain’t Mook – ’19-’20 NHL Team Previews: Nashville Predators

Sam Fels October 1, 2019 0

Everyone’s favorite darling, basically because national media types love to get drunk there for free and it’s not cold. Generally that has shielded everyone’s eyes from this being a pretty repugnant organization run by a ghoul in David Poile, who just engaged in the long-running hockey and Southern tradition of when things go wrong blame […]
