Hockey Players Fight, Discuss Their Summer Workout Plans
Sharks defenseman Brenden Dillon was wearing a microphone in Saturday’s game against Nashville, and he fought Predators center Austin Watson. The two spent most of their time grunting and jostling; while serving their time in the penalty box, Dillon and Watson realized they had to work out better th...
The Canucks Completely Shit Their Pants
As the last seconds of overtime trickled away in Tuesday’s game against the Predators, the Canucks had the puck in their offensive zone with a power play. They lost!...
Shea Weber Scores In Return To Nashville
It still feels strange to see Shea Weber in a Canadiens uniforms—he might’ve been the only player in franchise history to look right in Predators yellow—but at least the building and the crowd and the cheers were familiar. After 11 seasons there, Weber played his first game back in Nashville since a...
J.T. Brown Fights Ryan Ellis, Gets Heckled, Punches Heckler's Phone
J.T. Brown is here to fight, man. After getting blindsided to the ice by Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis, Brown rolled over on top of him and started pummeling him like he was finishing up an MMA knockout. Both men were sent to the penalty box to sit out the dregs of the Predators’ blowout win over ...
Holy Shit, The Canadiens Traded P.K. Subban
Minutes after the Oilers sent Taylor Hall to the Devils for Adam Larsson, the Montreal Canadiens traded P.K. Subban to the Nashville Predators for Shea Weber in a one-for-one trade. The hockey stove is so fucking hot....
Pekka Rinne Smashed The Shit Out Of His Stick, And Yeah I Get It
The Sharks’ dream Game 7 was, necessarily, a nightmare for Nashville. Or: You don’t lose an elimination game 5-0, getting outshot 17-3 in the first and only managing 20 shots on goal of your own all night, without just about everything going wrong....
The Predators Have Something Left In The Tank
The Predators are counter-punchers. They fought back from 3-2 down to make it to the second round. They fought back from being outplayed in the multiple overtimes of Game 4 against the Sharks to snatch a win. With their backs up against the wall again last night, they fought back from an early two-g...
The Sharks Thought They Got Screwed On Joe Pavelski's No-Goal
What would a triple-OT game be without some controversy? Two periods before Mike Fisher won it for Nashville to knot up the series, San Jose’s Joe Pavelski thought he had finished things off, scoring from his belly (and with Pekka Rinne pinned beneath him). It was a mess....
Mike Fisher Goal Gives Predators Triple-OT Win Over Sharks
Nashville’s Mike Fisher scored off the rebound at 11:12 of the third overtime period to give the Predators a 4-3 win and even the series against San Jose at two games apiece. It was Fisher’s second goal of the game—though it came more than 100 minutes after his first....
Yeah, OK, I'm All About The Sharks
The NHL’s playoff bracket is a little bit broken when each conference’s best two teams are playing each other in the second round, but a nice side effect is that we’re getting close series—and through two games, they look close all around. That includes Sharks-Predators, even if San Jose is up 2-0. ...
TV Anchor Fired Over Prince-Themed Sports Report
A Nashville sports reporter who delivered a Prince-themed report after the musician’s death has been fired, according to his Facebook page....
Oh Hey, The Ducks Shit The Bed Again
The Predators franchise had never played a Game 7 before, and only six players on the roster had ever been in a winner-take-all game for other teams. Maybe, the Ducks might say, that was an advantage....
I'm Obsessed With The Nashville Hot Chicken That Almost Killed Me
As a baby I gnawed on lemons with joy. I‘ve never been kind to my taste buds. Chain-eating Warhead candies, nibbling habaneros, taking dares on wasabi globs. Short of the really inhumane—nuking your innards with genetic monstrosity Scoville-freak peppers, which some people do, voluntarily, on camera...
Rich Clune Really Hates Cody Bass, And He Doesn't Care Who Knows
During warmups before tonight’s Toronto-Nashville game, Maple Leafs forward Rich Clune and Predators forward Cody Bass got into a somewhat heated confrontation:...
Craig Smith Did A Thing That I Have No Idea How He Did
I say this without hyperbole: this might be the most improbable thing that’s ever happened in sports. With a wide open net two feet away in overtime, Nashville’s Craig Smith shot the puck—somehow got his stick in front of it—and blocked his own shot....
Can You Identify The "Celebrities" Who Will Be Coaching The NHL All-Star Game?
The NHL added a little wrinkle to its (very cool!) new All-Star Game structure. The four 3-on-3 squads representing each division will be coached by an actual NHL coach (Gerard Gallant, Lindy Ruff, Darryl Sutter, and Barry Trotz) as well as, uh, well, hmm, one of ... these guys above here?...
John Scott Gets Screwed Out Of His All-Star Spot
Today’s three-way trade involving the Coyotes, Predators, and Canadiens will have little impact on the teams’ rosters, but it will affect the NHL’s All-Star Weekend on Jan. 30-31. Former Coyote John Scott, who was voted in as the Pacific Division’s captain, most likely won’t be in Nashville for the ...
The Beer Idiot Hits The Hard Stuff: Tales From The Nashville Whiskey Festival
The strangest person you can possibly encounter at a whiskey convention is someone who doesn’t like whiskey very much. Anecdotally speaking, it is also unusual to be a woman or black—the attendees of the Nashville Whiskey Festival, which I attended a couple weeks ago, made me worried that I’d wander...
Carter Hutton Preserves Win With Save Of The Year Contender
There is something in the water that is causing an epidemic of diving stick saves, and it is glorious. Here is Carter Hutton firmly declaring his candidacy for save of the year with this amazing reflexive swat, keeping Nashville's 4-3 lead intact late in the third period. ...
