If you’re a child of the 80′s than you probably remember the “Jordan vs. Bird” McDonald’s commercials. In a clever piece of marketing, the Nashville Predators and Dierks Bentley’s label Capitol Records Nashville teamed up to shoot a pretty clever video inspired by the old Jordan vs. Bird campaign.
In celebration of Bentley’s seventh studio...

Predators Insider: Weber returns but Preds lose
During the time defenseman Shea Weber was sidelined with a concussion, the Predators turned into a tight defensive unit. They allowed few mistakes and only five goals in their previous three games. With Weber back in the lineup, the Predators were sloppy in a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars.
Each of the goals was made off mistakes made by the Predators -- a fact that was not lost...

Shea Weber Not Expecting to Beat Zdeno Chara in Hardest Shot, But Will Settle for Nashville Win Against Bruins
BOSTON -– For two guys in opposing conferences who don't face each other often, Shea Weber and Zdeno Chara have developed quite a rivalry. It may be the only true competition fostered by the All-Star Game. Weber, a standout defenseman for Nashville, and Bruins captain Zdeno Chara have met just five times in the regular season, but the most memorable clashes have come in the...

To Shea Weber:
You are one of the best defensemen in the NHL, possibly the best. On an average, annual basis, you earn more money than any other player at your position in the league.
At age 26, you have a long career ahead of yourself. It is likely to be lucrative and distinguished. As your coach Barry Trotz of the Nashville Predators has often said, he thinks someday you will...

Predators Insider: No Weber No Worries... yet
When defenseman Shea Weber went out with his concussion, the logical assumption was that Nashville would have problems defensively. But the Predators have won three of the four games he has missed and have given up a total of only five goals in the three victories.
Sunday, they raced to a three-goal lead and provided enough buffer -- they allowed only 20 shots on goal -- to hold...

Top Defenceman So Far This Season
In mid-November, I picked Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators as the top defenceman in the league so far this season. In January after Weber had lost time to a concussion, I updated this pick to Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins. Now that Weber is back and healthy he has played himself back into the position of Norris Trophy front-runner.
Weber has 35 points which places him...

Matt Carle vs. Ryan Suter
How undervalued is Matt Carle in Philadelphia?
Complaining by the fans often includes rants about his turnovers, lack of physical play, among other things, but is it warranted?
Let’s compare him to a player that would reportedly cost a team an “NHL player + A prospect + B prospect + first rounder.”
Who is a pending unrestricted free agent, nonetheless.

Predators Insider: Preds power play was muscular
Nashville had not scored a power-play goal since their Dec. 23 loss in Dallas. That was also the game that saw team captain Shea Weber sustain a concussion that would sideline him for the next four games. Weber returned Thursday night, but it was in Saturday's 5-2 victory at home against Carolina that Weber and the Predators' power play found their stride.

Suter may be more important to Preds than Weber…
Shea Weber is the captain of this team and there is nobody in the league (sans a certain Boston Bruins defenseman) with a harder shot. He’s a great all-around player and he leads the Nashville Predators in scoring (32 points). He’s about to become a three time All-Star and he’s a Norris Trophy runner-up.
You know what else he is? More expendable than Ryan Suter...
