Twenty one games are in the books, and it's time to grade the Predators quarter season performance.With a 12-8-1 record and 25 points, the Predators currently sit 10th in the Western Conference. Let's take a look at the team components and overall grade, and then we will look at the individual players. GOALTENDING Pekka Rinne has solidified his position as the number one goaltender and is rounding back in to the form that made him an outstanding rookie. Dan Ellis provides a solid back up. Grade: B+ DEFENSE After some early season shakiness, the defense core has settled down. It has been solid on the blue line and has contributed to the offense. Francis Buillon has proven to be a quality off-season add for the Predators . Grade: B FORWARDS This is a group that struggled mightily in the early season, and their production was anemic. It appears that they have bought in to the system that Head Coach Barry Trotz has been preaching: shoot the puck, crash the ...

Carey Price Saves Montreal Canadiens from a Catastrophy

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:42:19 +0000

The Montreal Canadiens were in Nashville, Tennessee, to face the Predators on Saturday night. The Canadiens played one of the worse game of this decade allowing Nashville to fire 55 times on the net defended by goaltender Carey Price. Price was fantastic in this game as he managed to stop 53 of those 55 shots in this 2-0 loss. I sincerely hope that all the doubts about Carey Price's talent vanished with this performance. As I stated in an article after an humiliating loss in Vancouver: Carey Price is not the problem. Saturday night in Nashville, the team in front of Price simply did not show up. The players were watching the Predators circle around them without lifting a finger. The domination was to a point that the Nashville Predators looked like a powerhouse of the NHL. The lack of effort and character looks to be generalized and everyone knows that you cannot win hockey games on a regular basis without putting some serious effort during practice session and during games. Head coach ...

Canadiens-Predators: Habs Waste Record-Tying Performance by CareyPrice

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 04:49:00 +0000

Montreal 0, Nashville 2 (Sommet Arena) posted by Rocket All Habs Canadiens coach Jacques Martin may have been hired for his language skills but not because he is a good quote. On his goaltender's effort, Martin was master of the obvious, "He performed well, there is no doubt." Martin was describing Carey Price's 53-save performance that tied a Canadiens franchise record first set by Wayne Thomas in March 1974 vs. the Pittsburgh Penguins. Price was brilliant with numerous highlight reel saves. Price turned away the Predators, who were on a shot per minute pace for the first two periods. Granted, tonight's game was not in the same class as Team Canada's 47-0 win over Denmark at the 1949 World Hockey Championships in Stockholm. Yet, shot totals of 24-to-4 after one period, and 42-to-10 after two are indicative of the lopsided level of play. Pekka Rinne commented on the lack of Habs' shots saying, "I should have brought my iPod." Indeed. Or perhaps he could have been ...
