Sharks bite back in Nashville

Remember how I mentioned this afternoon that, since I've been tracking rebounds and Penalty Plus/Minus recently, I'd make that a focus of tonight's Sharks/Predators tilt in Nashville?  Well, those two aspects of the game proved critical as the Sharks paid the Preds back for ruining their ...

Predators Captain Injured

Late in the first period in tonight's game with San Jose, Nashville Predators captain Jason Arnott took a hard, head-first fall into the net and has been taken off on a stretcher.  Expect an update as information becomes available.

Having started a power play with just a few seconds ...

O'Sullivan wears the Penalty Plus/Minus crown, for now

We have a new leader in the Penalty Plus/Minus race this week, as Patrick O'Sullivan of the L.A. Kings has surged ahead of the competition to a +14 rating.  Perhaps the highlight of his week was drawing three tripping penalties from the Dallas Stars in a Thursday night 3-2 road win.  ...

Sharks seeking revenge

Riding the momentum of a successful finish to their epic road trip, the Nashville Predators return home for a rematch with the San Jose Sharks this evening.  Expect the Preds to focus hard on working for rebounds around the net and minding their Penalty Plus/Minus performance, because I've ...

California Dreaming

A week ago at this time, the Predators looked like an embattled bunch, reeling from three straight road losses against Northwest Division opponents, and shuffling lines due to injuries.  They limped out of Denver after a demoralizing 1-0 loss, and some openly wondered not just whether Barry ...

Statistical analysis growing in importance

Baseball's Seattle Mariners are the latest team jumping on the statistical analysis train, as they prepare to establish an internal department focused on gathering and analyzing data in conjunction with the traditional scouting process.  From this morning's Seattle Times (hat tip to ...

A different take on Surf n Turf

Tuesday they preyed on Sharks, tonight Duck was on the menu.

After starting this six-game road trip with three straight losses, the Nashville Predators have found redemption with back-to-back victories in unlikely venues San Jose and Anaheim.  Unlike the robbery that Dan Ellis committed ...

Wilson's on his way

The accolades for Nashville Predators prospects continue to roll in.  2008 1st-round pick Colin Wilson is the Hockey East player of the week, and leads Boston University, the top-ranked team in U.S. college hockey, in scoring.  The New York Daily News chimes in with a profile this ...

Don't Touch That Dial!

If you think you've seen an unusually high number of late-game comebacks already in this NHL season, this morning's Tennessean validates your hunch:

According to Elias Sports Bureau, five road teams have already rallied to victory after trailing by three goals, one more time than that happened ...

Loading up on Montreal All-Stars

For all those Montreal Canadiens fans stuffing the ballot box for the NHL All-Star Game, I have an added suggestion.  Consider a write-in vote in the Western Conference for J.P. Dumont, a Montreal native who is enjoying a great start with 17 points in 15 games so far.  His 15 assists ...

Digging inside home-ice advantage

Have you ever wondered just how much home-ice advantage is worth in a given game?  For a look inside the relative performance of home and road teams in Even Strength action over the last five years, check out mc79hockey.com this morning.

Intuitively, one would think the home team in a given ...

Ellis saves the day in San Jose

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.  Last night the Predators rolled into San Jose on the heels of three straight losses to open a six-game road trip, where the Sharks have typically dominated.  The Pacific Division leaders completely carried the play for ...

Taking a spin on "The Rink"

Tom & James of The Rink Podcast included me in their latest episode, so now's your chance to answer that question burning away in the back of your brain.  Which one of these guys do I sound more like?

Penalty Plus/Minus Weekly Update:  Viva Kaleta!

This week's edition of the Penalty Plus/Minus update highlights a new player topping the list, Buffalo's Patrick Kaleta having generated a net of 9 power plays for the Sabres.  The third-year right winger has edged slightly ahead of San Jose's Devin Setoguchi and Edmonton's Erik Cole, with ...

Martin Erat's delivering

After last night's zany 7-6 decision in Calgary, Martin Erat (7 goals, 6 assists) is producing at a point-per-game pace.  This morning's Calgary Sun provides a profile of the relatively unknown winger, who signed a 7-year, $31.5 million to stick with the Predators:
