Bobby Nye stood out as the most pleasantly surprising overachiever of all the offseason moves Nashville Predators General Manager David Poile made in 2013.

Nashville, Tenn. (May 6, 2014) – Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has hired 2006 Stanley Cup-winning coach Peter Laviolette as the second head coach in team history and si......
He finally scored a goal last night, ending a 13-game playoff scoreless streak. As a Predators fan, going 13 games without scoring may not seem too bad, but for some of these winning teams, it's an eternity. After a tough first round series, everything seems to be clicking for the Penguins...they even got a shutout from their terrible choker of a goalie. Could they go All The Way? Nashville Predators...
Miikka Salomaki was added to Finland’s 2014 World Championship roster over the weekend, bringing Nashville’s representation at the tournament – which starts Friday in Minsk, Belarus – to 12 players and staff members. The breakdown is as follows......

Now that the season is over, it gives us a chance to nitpick the performance of the Predators' roster this season. Today, Craig Smith.

I mean seriously...who am I supposed to root for? All the teams left range from awful to annoying to Canadian. Anybody have any ideas? I'm grasping at straws here...the idea of hate-watching like 60 games the rest of the way is unappealing, to say the least.

Nashville Predators prospects Calle Jarnkrok (Sweden) and Simon Moser (Switzerland) have been added to their respective nations’ rosters for the 2014 World Championship, taking place May 9-25 in Minsk, Belarus. Their 2013-14 season ended last nigh......
And by "a Canadian team", I mean the only Canadian team, the Canadiens. They're off to a good start, right? Last night's win (Double-Overtime Thriller!) was a bit of a surprise to me...I thought for sure they'd be a bit rusty after closing out Tampa so quickly. Boston is still the better team, and they lost Game 1 to Detroit in the last round, too...how'd that turn out for the Red Wings? But still,...
Toronto, ON - Admirals goalie Marek Mazanec played well, stopping 22 of 23 shots, but the team couldn't provide him any offense as the Ads were eliminated from the Calder Cup Playoffs with a 2-0 loss to the Toronto Marlies. The win gave the Ma......
Milwaukee couldn't tally a goal in Game 3, ending their playoff run as quickly as they possibly could. The Milwaukee Admirals were unable to beat Drew MacIntyre and quietly ended their season with an 2-0 loss to the Toronto Marlies tonight. Greg McKegg scored the only non-empty net goal of the night on the power play late in the second period. The Admirals pushed to get the equalizer for the rest...
Wow, Sharks. You really have made choking an art form. Blowing the nearly impossible to blow 3-0 lead gave your fans something to remember for a very, very long time. They'll have an interesting offseason...everything from management to the team name should be up for change. Should the Avs be upset about being bounced? They did lose to Minnesota, who isn't very good, but they were the worst team in...
Flyers-Rangers at 6p, Avalanche-Wild at 8:30p, and Kings-Sharks at 9p...it's what they call a "win or go home" scenario for everyone involved. My picks are Flyers (if they advance far in the playoffs, MAYBE they'll settle down on their "trade for Weber" nonsense), Avs (out of respect for the Suter family...they've been separated too long already), and Sharks (regional loyalties, general awfulness...
Modest improvement may well be the theme of the 2013-14 Nashville Predators season, both on the ice and at the ticket window. The latest data from Nashville's Metro Sports Authority indicates that average paid attendance at Predators home games rose from 15,126 to 15,558 this season, while "comps" (free tickets distributed by the team) dropped by nearly half, from 1,903 to 1,031. Just as the Predators...

In case you haven't noticed, I hate the teams I hate just as much as I love the teams I love. I hate the Blackhawks AND the Blues, so this series was quite the pickle from a rooting perspective. The best case scenario was LOTS of overtimes (we got 6) and the losing team to fall apart in some totally demoralizing way (thanks, St. Louis!). I'll admit I would've preferred Chicago getting swept, but hey,...

Looks like that trade for David Legwand wasn't enough to push them over the top. Oh well...after all, How Many Cups Do YOU Have? End of discussion.

Milwaukee had a rough start to their playoff run, but have a chance to redeem themselves tonight. It looks worse on the score sheet than it actually was, but the Admirals first playoff game was still anything but pretty. Milwaukee dropped the first game of their best of five series last night 6-2, with Toronto scoring their last two on empty nets. The Admirals will have a chance to even the series...
