Paul McCann: California Dreamin… and an HBR PReview.

10, Mar 2010

Good win for the Preds last night… hell, any win is a good win to stabilize a team heading into an area where they traditionally struggle.

The team is in San Jose and getting settled in for tomorrow night’s game against the Sharks.

We’re talking rule changes with NHL veteran Glen Wesley tonight on HockeyBuzz Radio, we’re also talking to the ra…

Paul McCann: Game Night – Situation Normal…

9, Mar 2010

Hmmm, let’s see… the Predators are fighting for their playoff lives… check. The Preds are dealing with a rash of injuries… check. Yup, it’s March and Pred Nation is wondering what they have done to anger the hockey gods so again. It seems like every March, the fans of the fang endure the news of player after player going down. Last year it was Erat, Arnott and Legwand… this year, so f…

Jon Jordan: The Heart of the Lightning is Hart-Worthy

9, Mar 2010

The hot topic right now for the Tampa Bay Lightning might be Steven Stamkos, thanks to the hot hand that has him on pace for a 51-goal sophomore season.

The impact of Steve Downie as a well-rounded force, offensively, physically and otherwise, might be the surprise story of their season.

And a reinvigorated Vincent Lecavalier down the stretch, sparked by the under-the-radar arrival of Teddy…

Brandon Felder: Canucks Comeback In the 3rd Period To Steal 2 Points From Nashville

7, Mar 2010

Things were great in Nashville at the end of the 2nd period. However, by that sentence alone you know what is going to come next. Poor goaltending and the Nashville team sitting back in the 3rd allowed the Vancouver Canucks to come back in the game from a 2-1 deficit to steal some points and the win 4-2 in Nashville. 16,096 were on hand at the Bridgestone Arena for a rare Sunday afternoon game, bu…

Paul McCann: Game Day at the Bridge

7, Mar 2010

Apologies about my lack of posting… I’ve been tied up announcing the OVC Tournament at the Bridge and had precious little time to blog. I didn’t see the Wings game and from all accounts, I didn’t miss much.

————————————-

It’s game day in Music City as the ops crew at Bridgestone Arena has turned March Madness back into the Ice Age as the Predators take on the Vanc…

Jon Jordan: A Must-Have

6, Mar 2010

So, the Jeff Vinik era as owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning got off to an 0-1 start with Thursday’s loss to Washington.

So what?

The Caps are, well, the Caps. And, though there was certainly some sloppiness, the Lightning hung tight in that game, battling back from several deficits and showing some real character throughout.

A timely save or two down the stretch would have aided the cau…

Brandon Felder: Preds Stifle Kings In A 4-2 Win

4, Mar 2010

The Preds put away one of the hottest teams in the NHL and in doing so also extended a win streak against the Los Angeles Kings to six games. The 4-2 win in front of 15,653 at the Bridgestone Arena was a solid defensive effort against a high quality scoring team.

Felder’s FANTASTIC Five:

1. Taking Advantage Of Mistakes – That was the real key to me. The Preds did take advantage of some…

Paul McCann: Post-deadline Game Night!

4, Mar 2010

The trade deadline has come and gone, things in Nashville had a lot of smoke, but no fire as the two names mentioned most remain with the team.

I’ll say it now… this year’s Nashville Predators are a better team with Dan Hamhuis and Dan Ellis on it. Both are consummate team players that will do what it takes to make this team successful. Will the Predators lose these two players come Jul…

Brandon Felder: Preds Trade Deadline Central

3, Mar 2010

Here it is boys and girls. Trade Deadline Day. A day that deserves your full attention as a hockey fan. Also, if you are a Preds fan, this year I would define it as a day that could make or break your playoff chances. Don’t believe me? Anybody else remember last year when I was basically the only media member to complain about the lack of gaining a depth forward at the Deadline in case of injuries…

Hop in and out all day for trade deadline discussion, general puck chat, questions, comments and, with any luck, some breaking news from JJ …

Paul McCann: Game Night! Grebeshkov in! Hammer out? Trade deadline chaos!

2, Mar 2010

It’s Game Night in Nashville as the Predators begin the 21 game rush to the playoffs with a tilt against the Edmonton Oilers as the rechristened Bridgestone Arena. It is the first game of 17 in March for the Preds with 10 of them at home and a chance to solidify their playoff spot in the friendly confines.

The Predators began the post-Olympic push by jumping into the trade pool, closing a dea…

Jon Jordan: JJ’s Mailbag: Pre-Trade Deadline Edition/Tuesday Vs. Preview/BoltsBuzz News

1, Mar 2010

Before I open up the mailbag for the first time in a long time, I’ll answer a question that I’ve received from a handful of people in the last couple of days:

“Where did BoltsBuzz Radio go so quickly?”

The answer is simple. Nowhere. We scheduled to take Monday the 22nd off, figuring most listeners would be in Olympic mode, most potential guests scattered about and hard to reach and,…

Paul McCann: Still Recuperating

1, Mar 2010

What a hockey game. The gold medal match was everything a hockey fan could’ve asked for. Congratulations to Team Canada for overcoming incredible pressure to bring the gold. Congratulations as well to Team USA for exceeding all expectations and almost shocking the world. Word coming out today reflects boffo TV ratings across North America.

This kind of game is the reason the NHL should be p…

Mike Augello: PONI DESTINATIONS, KABERLE WILL STAY……….FOR NOW

1, Mar 2010

A couple reports regarding Leaf players. As Ek reported regarding Alexei Ponikarovsky, the Red Wings, Predators and Thrashers have been added to the list of teams interested in the soon to be unrestricted free agent, to go along with the previously reports of Pittsburgh being interested(although now that PIT has traded their 2nd for Jordan Leopold, it is less likely). The interesting team to con…

WOW!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, oh magnificent ones from 30 Rock for gracing us, the humble unwashed hockey fan, with live hockey in HD. May…

Jon Jordan: Lightning Coaching Shakeup Makes Little Sense: Trouble Brewing for Tocchet?

25, Feb 2010

There’s really only one certainty we can take out of the coaching changes made yesterday by the Tampa Bay Lightning.

OK Hockey – dubbed a circus by so many – may be out as an ownership group but, clearly, the show must go on.

What about replacing assistant coach Wes Walz with Norfolk head coach Jim Johnson makes sense at this point in the season, at any level?

With 21 games left fo…

Paul McCann: Team Canada Finally Shows Up…

25, Feb 2010

So THIS is what the fuss was about. Team Canada finally arrived at the Olympics last night and sent a shot across the bow of the hockey world with their complete dismantling of the Russians.

Did I say complete? Yup… There was no aspect of the game that Sid and the boys did not dominate. Defense? Check… Physicality? Check… Offense? Check… and most importantly … teamwork. For…

24, Feb 2010

Looks like Pekka Rinne is signed. Two years 6.8 million according to John Glennon.

That makes things interesting…

Let the speculation about Dan Ellis begin.
