Predators Slide by the Oilers 2-1, End Losing Streak
The Nashville Predators looked to stop their 4 game skid by venturing to Rexall Place to take on the up and coming Edmonton Oilers. For the Predators, this was a game that was going to require discipline and the necessity of playing a full 60 minutes of hockey. Since this was the first of a [...]
Predators Blow Another Third Period Lead, Fall to the Oilers 3-1
The Nashville Predators made their first trip of the season to the great white North, taking on the Edmonton Oilers at Rexall Place. In the Oilers, the Predators faced a young, talented, speedy squad that could be very dangerous with the puck. Sorta like what the Predators had hoped to be at the outset of [...]
Potential trade targets for the Montreal Canadiens and pre-game blog vs Ottawa
Following the injuries suffered by Michael Cammalleri, Max Pacioretty and Jeff Halpern, all forwards, on Tuesday night against the Buffalo Sabres, Montreal GM Pierre Gauthier will certainly look for help up front if he hopes his team has at least a shot at a playoff berth. Currently ranked 7th in the Eastern Conference with 56 [...]
A Wild Afternoon at MSG
Today’s New York Rangers-Edmonton Oilers game had all the makings of a trap game for the home team. The Rangers could’ve just figured, “Eh, they’re awful. This is the last game of a road trip during which they got pummeled 7-1 by Carolina and 6-2 by Detroit.” They could’ve got caught up in the whole [...]
The dawn of a new era in Edmonton
After selecting franchise-player Taylor Hall with the first overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft last Friday, the Edmonton Oilers have indicated they will buy out the contracts of former captain Ethan Moreau, Robert Nilsson and Patrick O’Sullivan tomorrow after putting them on waivers at noon earlier today, effectively turning the page on a [...]
Predators Nip Penguins 4-3 In A Shootout
In the final game before the Olympic break, the Nashville Predators looked perilously close to getting blown out of the Igloo in the first period of their game with the Penguins. In fact, it looked as if the third period debacle against the New Jersey Devils on Friday night was being replayed on Sunday afternoon. [...]
Predators Stink Up The Joint in 4-3 Loss
When you play a bottom feeder, you have to come out strong, put the hammer down, and put them in a hole. Apparently, that message was lost on the Predators as they fell to the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 on home ice. Another slow, and frankly inexcusable, start doomed the Predators. Look guys, if you [...]
Predators Put Out Flames 1-0
When it’s tough, how bad do you want it? How will you respond in a hostile environment? When the other team challenges you, how will you respond? The Nashville Predators would get a chance to answer all those questions at the Pengrowth Saddle Dome against the Calgary Flames. Dan Ellis got the start and faced [...]
Game 45 review – Another lousy effort, another loss
It was the same the same old story for Oiler fans last night at Rexall Place. The Oilers play, the Oilers lose. Last nights decision – a 5-3 loss to the Predators – marked the tenth loss in the Oilers last 11 games on home ice. With a record like that it’s only a matter of time until the Oilers manage to sit in the basement of the NHL.
Slick Win for the Predators
In recent games, the Predators have shown an annoying habit of starting slow, falling behind, and scrambling like mad to get back in the game. In tonight’s game against Edmonton, the Preds reversed that trend, jumping out to a 3-0 first period lead en route to a a 5-3 road win. The Predators opened the [...]
Predators Vanquish Vancouver 3-2; Burrows Ballistic
The Predators, for only the seventh time in their history, entered the hostile environment of GM place and skated away with a 3-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.

Predators With A Slick Win Over The Oilers
The Predators began a western Canada road swing by getting punched in the mouth in the first four minutes of their game with the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers came out flying and the Predators didn’t match their speed. Four shots, two goals, a 2-0 Edmonton lead, and all of a sudden this game looked out [...]
Predators Strike the Lightning in 7-4 Blowout
The Predators faced an unfamiliar foe in the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Nashville Arena on Tuesday night. As the first period unfolded, the game looked eerily similar to the Detroit game on Saturday. Getting outworked on the boards, losing physical battles, and seeing the first period end with the visitors taking a 2-1 lead [...]
Predators Continue Dominance Against the Jackets
The Nashville Predators continued their dominance of the Columbus Blue Jackets with a 5-3 win at Nationwide Arena. The win was the Predators third in three meetings this season against the BJ’s and the 21st in their last 25. Steve Sullivan obviously likes to play against the Blue Jackets, as he has 43 points in [...]
Predators Sluggish in 3-2 OT Loss to Wings
The Nashville Predators were fortunate to salvage a point against the Detroit Red Wings at the Nashville Arena, eventually dropping a 3-2 overtime decision to their division rival.
