3 Bold Predictions for the Predators' 2020-21 Season

3 Bold Predictions for the Predators' 2020-21 Season

November 30th, 2020 They say you’re only as good as your last game. If that’s true, the Nashville Predators do not look very good. The last time we saw them they were fist-bumping the Arizona Coyotes in the bubble after being eliminated from the best-of-five, Stanley Cup qualifying series. That’s not how the Predators want to be remembered. Ask...
Predators' 3 Best Contracts for 2020-21

Predators' 3 Best Contracts for 2020-21

November 23rd, 2020 David Poile has held the general manager position with the Nashville Predators since their birth in 1997 for a reason: he doesn’t have a lot of blemishes on his resume in terms of contracts that are glaringly bad. It comes as no surprise then to learn that the Predators’ all-time record is above .500, and that they have made the...
Predators Need Some Swedish Success

Predators Need Some Swedish Success

November 2nd, 2020 It’s no secret that the majority of National Hockey League players are Canadian, and the Nashville Predators are no exception. With ten of the twenty projected starting day players on the roster coming from Canada, the remaining fifty percent of the roster spreads out between four different countries. The Predators have solid...
Maple Leafs Have Multiple Trade Targets on Defense

Maple Leafs Have Multiple Trade Targets on Defense

August 19th, 2020 When Toronto Maple Leafs’ general manager Kyle Dubas spoke at his end-of-season press conference, there were many notable quotes regarding the roster. He gave his thoughts on making adjustments, the core of his team and shutting down the idea of moving a major piece like Mitch Marner in a major shake-up.  The Maple Leafs have...
Revisiting David Poile's Drafts - 2009

Revisiting David Poile's Drafts - 2009

September 2nd, 2019 Recently, I’ve been diving into David Poile’s draft history as general manager of the Nashville Predators. Since he’s been the franchise’s only GM, he’s been at the helm for every draft since 1998. Beginning with that first draft, I’m working forward to the present, with this installment covering the 2008 Draft. For...
Recapping Predators' World Championship Performances

Recapping Predators' World Championship Performances

May 28th, 2019 The 2019 World Championships have come and gone, with Team Finland capturing gold. In what was a highly-competitive tournament, the World Championships were a great way for fans of NHL teams not in the playoffs to still watch their favorite players on the international stage. Related: Predators to Watch at the World...
Reviewing Predators' 2018-19 Season: Defensemen Edition

Reviewing Predators' 2018-19 Season: Defensemen Edition

May 13th, 2019 On May 3 I wrote a review of Nashville Predators forwards from the 2018-19 season. Some of those players, including Ryan Johansen, Viktor Arvidsson, and Rocco Grimaldi, received high grades. Meanwhile, others like Kyle Turris and Calle Järnkrok, didn't do so well. This article looks at Predators defensemen from this season. Roman...
Predators to Watch at the World Championship

Predators to Watch at the World Championship

May 9th, 2019 The 2019 IIHF World Championship is just around the corner, and for fans of NHL teams not in the playoffs, the tournament can be a great way to see some of your favorite players on the international stage. Nashville Predators fans likely thought they'd still be cheering on the team, but instead were subjected to a first-round exit. And...
Predators' 2018-19 Season Awards

Predators' 2018-19 Season Awards

April 16th, 2019 The 2018-19 regular season has come and gone, and for the Nashville Predators, it was a successful season. Since the regular season is over, it's time to look back and hand out some team-specific hardware. Introducing the Predators' 2018-19 season awards. Most Valuable Player: Viktor Arvidsson While there are other candidates,...
Predators' Ekholm Deserves Norris Consideration

Predators' Ekholm Deserves Norris Consideration

January 15th, 2019 The Nashville Predators have one of the league's best blue lines that is loaded with top level talent, so much so that they have four defensemen who could be number ones on many other teams. Ryan Ellis, Roman Josi and P.K. Subban are the most notable names in their defense corps with Mattias Ekholm often being an afterthought. But that...
Predators' 2018-19 Mid-Season Awards

Predators' 2018-19 Mid-Season Awards

January 4th, 2019 The Nashville Predators are one of 16 teams to have reached the season's midway point with at least 41 games played. The Predators have played exactly 41 games and have a 24-15-2 record with 50 points and are second in the Central Division, two points back of the Winnipeg Jets. Because it's the team's halfway point, I felt it'd be an...
Predators Power Play Woes a Playoff Problem?

Predators Power Play Woes a Playoff Problem?

April 5th, 2018 The Nashville Predators are one of the best teams in the league and have already clinched a playoff berth. They have a three-point lead in both the Central Division and the race for the Presidents' Trophy. After the games on Apr. 4, they rank seventh in goals scored with 259 and third in goals allowed with 206. They have a Vezina...
Two Predators Dominated the Sabres

Two Predators Dominated the Sabres

March 20th, 2018 I'm not going to sugar coat it, the Buffalo Sabres are a dumpster fire. They're currently wasting Jack Eichel's early years and are doing no service to young guns like Rasmus Ristolainen and Sam Reinhart. Quite frankly, I'm not even sure Rasmus Dahlin could turn this franchise around, although I do like new general manager Jason...
Predators Top 3 Step Up Against Avalanche

Predators Top 3 Step Up Against Avalanche

March 5th, 2018 No Roman Josi, no problem. The Nashville Predators were without their fearless leader during the matinee game on Sunday afternoon. Fans worried as Matt Irwin and Yannick Weber stepped up to fill the roles that were left empty by injuries. As those three prepared, tested linemates were split. Mattias Ekholm and P.K. Subban would not take...
Predators Blue Line Will Be Scary Good

Predators Blue Line Will Be Scary Good

March 2nd, 2018 The Nashville Predators are one of the league's best teams, reached the Stanley Cup Final last season, and are one of the favorites to win the Cup this season. They are led by their elite defense that is the league's best and has been for several seasons. It was back in the 2013-14 season, when Mattias Ekholm, Ryan Ellis, and Seth Jones...
