Game #46 – Predators 3, Hawks 3, Predators Win Paint Huffing Duel – Got Stuck on Thoughts that I Know Ain’t Facts

Rose Rankin January 9, 2019 0

The Hawks had no business keeping this game as close as they did. The Predators should be wondering what witch doctor they crossed who kept them from closing this out way earlier and robbing them of both points. Let’s get to it: Box Score Corsica Natural Stat Trick – For about the first

Game #46 – Predators vs. Hawks Spotlight: Ryan Ellis And They Do It Too

Sam Fels January 9, 2019 0

In a vacuum, what would you say about a team giving a 29-year-old defenseman an eight-year extension at $6.25M per year? Crazy right? No d-man is any good past 33 or 34 unless they’re a chiseled god like Zdeno Chara, right? Fit to be tied, you’d say! Pure ridiculousness! Well, you’re not the Nashville Predators, […]

J.R. Lind is always our Preds guy. Follow him on Twitter @JRLind. The Predators have only won two of their last nine on the road. What’s the story there? It’s hard to discount the injuries the team had to deal with in the last bit of 2018: Filip Forsberg, Viktor Arvidsson, P.K. Subban and Colton […]

Game #46 – Predators vs. Hawks Douchebag Du Jour: Anyone Who Believes PK Subban Shouldn’t Be Face Of The League

It seems like we do this post every year, and it’s because we do. But then PK keeps doing things that reiterate the point, so there’s not much we can do. In case you missed it, here’s a video he recorded to support a young player in Michigan who had been the target of racial […]

Game #46 – Predators vs. Hawks: Lineups & How Teams Were Built

Sam Fels January 9, 2019 0

Notes: It’s almost full systems go for the Preds. Forsberg and Arvidsson are back to form the top line that has given the Hawks migraines for a few years now. Turris is still out long-term, but Subban is back, whom the Hawks haven’t seen yet this year either…Saros started Monday in Toronto so it should […]

Game #36 – Predators 1, Hawks 2 – I Will Walk Before They Make Me Run

Rose Rankin December 18, 2018 0

The Hawks played well tonight…I’m struggling to believe I typed those words…they played better than a team that is demonstrably more talented and a legitimate Cup contender or at least conference finalist…and so I will try to make sense of this. To the bullets: Box Score Corsica Natural Stat Trick – Right out of the […]

It was only two or three years ago that you’d be forgiven for thinking that Pekka Rinne was finished. It feels like eons, but in reality it was only a few grains of sand in the hourglass of life (whoa, trippy). Just over three years ago, Rinne was borderline terrible against the Hawks in a […]
