Nashville predators

It’s early in the season and the Canadiens are already looking to make more moves in overhauling their roster.  Latest rumors coming out of Montreal are that GM Bob Gainey has a few possibilities in the works.  Nashville Predators veteran centerman Jason Arnott and defenseman Teemu Laasko could be heading to the Canadiens as part [...]

From everything I can gather young star forward Phil Kessel is done negotiating with the Boston Bruins.  So here are the three scenarios left for Kessel: Either he’ll be traded, or he’ll be signed to an offer sheet by another team and the Bruins will or won’t match it, or  he’ll play for the qualifying [...]

Last year the NHL’s Western Conference’s Nashville Predators were a team that was missing a few key components to truly compete for the Stanley Cup Trophy.  The most glaring shortcoming for the Predators last season was a lack of scoring.  Nashville tied for 25th in the league with 2.52 goals per game.  Scoring came easier [...]

Yesterday was one of the most exciting days in the NHL, even though the excitement came in the off-season and off the ice.  Free agency began at 12:01 am and teams wasted little time in scooping up the talent.  By the time the day was over only a handful of top tier players remained.  Names [...]

The Nashville Predators lost to the Minnesota Wild 8-4 effectively killing any playoff hopes that the Predators were hoping for.  Minnesota took control early and never looked back as they cruised to victory.  It seemed like Nashville just couldn’t get anything going.  Nashville didn’t do themselves any favors by going 5-4-1 in their last 10 [...]

First off, I must mention the Carolina Hurricanes.  They are scorching hot right now and are definitely a force to be reckoned with.  Last night’s overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins marked the 8th straight win for Carolina.  The Hurricanes who are 12-1-2 in their 15 games, are making a strong case that they will [...]

The Philadelphia Flyers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in what turned out to be a high scoring game.  The Flyers netted 8 goals  to the Male Leafs’ 5.  Jeff Carter lead the way with his second hat trick of the season.  The Flyers exploded for 5 goals in the first period and never looked back.  [...]

Just a few games were played last night on the frozen pond.  The St. Louis Blues blew a golden opportunity to pick up a precious 2 points by losing to the Chicago Black Hawks 3-1.  The Blues fell behind 2-0 in the 1st period and were never able to recover.  St. Louis still sits one [...]
