Hey where is everybody? Just cause I live up to knoxburg don't mean I don't check in now and then. What's up with the Preds? Starting slow or something, I guess.

The Predators are tanking badly, and it all goes back to COACHING! The only way this team makes it to the playoffs, is to buy tickets. TROTZ HAS TO GO!!!That no-necked, troll is the most overrated coach in the NHL. He has taken this team as far as he ever will.  The new ownership has done a miserable job this season, as well, in MANY areas. Either they spend some money and get this team moving in the right direction, or the Preds will indeed, become a memory. |

Sully's Back!!! ;D Steve Sullivan returned tonight after being sidelined by a back injury for TWO YEARS. BTW, the Preds won 4-1 behind a two goal effort by Legwand. This coming off a 5-3 win over Pittsburg after trailing 3-0! ;D So things are starting to look up in Predatorland. Of course, up is about the only way they could go!  |

They are not showing tomorrow night's game live at the FSS affiliate in Louisville, Kentucky(where I live)- delayed at 3:00 A.M. the following morning).  This definitely gives me some motivation to move to a condo with a balcony that faces the southern skies so I can switch to Dish Network so I can get NHL Center Ice next year. |

Last night's game against Detroit was a complete embarrassment. Trotz should have enough sense to step down, but he's not that smart. 51 shots on goal for the Wings, while the Preds never hit 25!
It was almost like Pekka Rinne was taking on the Wings by himself. No leadership and no consistency is killing this team's chances for any advancement. This season is over for the Predators, they just don't know it.

This season is over for the Predators, they just don't know it. Lar, I was at the game, and, for the entire first period, I think the Predators (except Rinne) should have bought tickets. They let Detroit OWN the puck - no defense whatever. The Wings are a very good team, but no team is that good. The last two periods, the Preds were in the game, but they were in a terribly large hole by first intermission. I am afraid this team is going nowhere. |

Yep, we're on the same page, Owen.
Great seeing you at the Blues game! Nice shootout win, but we sure needed to win that one straight up. Hated to give away a point to St. Louis.
This team has a great deal of rebuilding to do, from the coach on up.

Well, nothing like another loss to the Blues, to help drive another nail in the coffin. Another sleep-walking session on ice, for the most part. They continue to play without intensity and little if any consistency.
As I've said repeatedly, the Predators won't make it to the playoffs this season. I don't care how many won/loss, point scenarios Willy Daunic comes up with, this season is over for the Preds. If David Poile won't drop the hammer and fire Trotz, then the new owners need to step up and fire them both.

Well, they might not make it, but at least they are making a good run at it so far. They are currently in seventh place with 12 games remaining. If the playoffs started today they would be playing S.J. Sharks again.  |

If the playoffs started today they would be playing S.J. Sharks again. And, the Preds would be bounced out in the first round again, too. |

Though it would be extremely dissappointing to get "bounced" in the first round AGAIN, I think they would be satisfied just making the playoffs this year. Especially with the lack of talent they have. Granted, we said the same thing last year. Anyways, Preds come home from a 4 game trip with 6 out of 8 points! Stealing points in every game of the trip. They are tied for seventh place with 77 points with 10 games remaining. |

With 6 games remaining the Preds still hold the seventh spot in the race for the playoffs. The go into Columbus tonight with a chance to move up to sixth. Should be an interesting (to say the least) game as the Preds are down several starting forwards. Namely, Arnott, Legwand, Erat, Jones, etc. The game also features a showdown between two rookie of the year candidates, goalies Pekka Rinne and CBJ's Steve Mason.
Let's hope the Milwaukee boys can step up and keep us in the hunt for the playoffs!!
