Preds vs. Bruins Post-Game: Wait, What?

The Predators actually won a game? 6-3?? Against the Bruins???

Did I wake up in an alternate reality? Either way, I’ll take it. I’ll let this one win slide but yall better go back to tanking.

Champions League Round of 16: No Nonsense, Just Facts

Barcelona’s beating Benfica. No need to waste words on that. Dortmund? Not losing to Lille. Not happening.

Madrid Derby? Real wins, but Atlético makes them work for it.

Battle of the Bayerns? Munich over Laterkusen. Close, but let’s be real, it’s going to be too late.

Inter Milan? Winning. Simple.

Aston Villa with Rashford? Interesting, but Club Brugge won’t make it easy. Still, edge to Villa.

PSV vs. Arsenal? Give me PSV for the memes. Arsenal loves a good Champions League collapse.

PSG vs. Liverpool? Best matchup of the round. Liverpool takes it, but PSG makes the first leg fun. Second leg? Less drama. Liverpool locks it down.

Done. No fluff, no overthinking, just how it is.

Rangers vs. Preds Post-Game: Embracing the Tank

Y’all though I wasn’t going to say anything and you’re right. Just 😂. That’s it. That’s the analysis.

But really the tank is real, and honestly? I’m here for it. Keep it up, boys, let’s secure that draft pick in style.

Preds vs. Islanders Post-Game: Classic

7-4 loss, now that is a Predators L if I’ve ever seen one. Saros went from brick wall to turnstile, but to be fair, the defense was doing their best impression of a missing persons report.

And then there’s Nyquist to the Wild for a 2nd. About as good as we could’ve hoped for. Not exactly thrilling, but hey, it’s something.

Preds vs. Islanders Pre-Game: Snooze Fest Incoming

11:30 AM on a Saturday? Yeah, hard pass. I’ll be sleeping in. This one’s got “background noise while you nurse a hangover” written all over it. Maybe the boys wake up in time to make it interesting. Maybe not. Either way, don’t expect me to set an alarm.

Preds vs. Jets Post-Game: Didn’t See That Coming

Yeah, I was messing around when I said Forsberg would go off and we’d actually win, but guess what? It happened. Defense looked locked in without Josi, and Saros? Absolute psychopath in net. Stole the whole damn game.

Maybe I should start betting against them more often.

Preds vs. Jets Pre-Game

Even without Hellebuyck, we’re still taking the L, just maybe with a little less humiliation. Silver linings. The Jets are flying, the Preds are… well, doing that thing where they show up, make it interesting for a period, then let reality set in. Maybe Forsberg goes off, maybe Saros pulls off some miracle saves, but let’s not kid ourselves.

Hope it’s at least fun. Or whatever.

A beautiful disaster FLA vs NSH Recap

Might’ve been the best game I’ve ever witnessed. Pure, unfiltered chaos. Forsberg launches one into the bench like he’s clearing space in a beer league. McCarron smacks it into the crowd like a home run derby contestant. The goal horn jumps the gun on a no-goal. Evangelista bulldozes Knight. Sissons? Whiffs so hard on a hit he takes himself out. Comedy, tragedy, and hockey all in one.

But you know what topped it all? Some guy in my section casually calling the exact final score. Now that was impressive.

Panthers vs. Predators Pre-Game

As if this team hasn’t already taken years off my life, now they get to lose to a Panthers squad missing Tkachuk. It’s almost impressive. If I were a guy named Barry running this circus, I’d call it a season, tank for a draft pick, and stop pretending this roster is anything but a participation trophy right now. But no, we’re locked into a tragic love story with bad contracts and false hope.

Score prediction? 5-2 Panthers. Pain incoming, at least make it entertaining.

The Predators Are Stuck in a Loop

Same story, different season. Flash some brilliance, cough up a lead, look like contenders at the start of the year, then trip over their own skates. It’s not a rebuild, not a real push, just a team stuck in limbo, too stubborn to tank, too flawed to go anywhere.

Saros stands on his head. Forsberg does Forsberg things. Josi well who knows where he is. But the defense leaks, the power play disappears, and suddenly, another winnable game slips away. Brunette was supposed to bring offense, but this team still doesn’t know what the hell it wants to be. The constant line changes. It’s not a well oiled machine.

They can fix it, if they stop waiting for fate to bail them out. If not? Nashville’s got plenty of bars to drown the disappointment.
