Well, hockey fans, we made it! After a bubble, a condensed season, and weird, temporarily aligned divisions, we are knocking on the door of returning to “normal.” A full, 82-game season, with more familiar divisional rivals, is about to get underway for the Nashville Predators.

If Filip Forsberg is ever inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, Nashville Predators general manager David Poile will have one heck of a story to dine out on.

After the moves that were made in the offseason and as we head into the preseason and regular season, there are still a lot of questions in Smashville. There were not a lot of big splashes in free agency, and while the focus of GM David Poile was to get younger, which they did, one
It’s hard to pinpoint the exact date, but sometime around the end of Peter Laviolette’s tenure as head coach of the Nashville Predators, the team lost their identity; they got away from what made them the Predators. What that “identity” was, depends on who you ask, but the consensus seems to be that of a
The year is 1994. The location is Lillehammer, Norway. It’s a sudden death shootout in the Olympic hockey finals. With the crowd screaming, Peter Forsberg is at the opposite blue line staring at Canada’s goalie, Corey Hirsch. Forsberg skates in and makes a move towards Hirsch’s right. All of a sudden with one hand he moves the

We’re getting down to the nitty-gritty of report cards in this Nashville Predators report card series. I started with the players at the top of the lineup, and now I’m going over depth guys that may have had less (or more) of a contribution. Be ready to see some relatively low grades for some players
