After an exciting Friday night in Smashville, Saturday proved to be just as adrenaline filled, though for different reasons. The Minnesota Wild came to visit the Predators with both looking to take the lead in this season’s series.

In classic fashion (again), the Predators and the Wild headed all the way to a shootout game. » Continue reading “Predators Fall To Wild In Shootout”

After holding on to a four game winning streak, the Nashville Predators have returned to a playing strategy of losing in overtime. Despite Nashville’s Gaustad putting the team on the board early in the first, the Minnesota Wild made it a tied game in the second and then bowled the Preds over in overtime.

So just where did the Predators go wrong to throw back to the OT and shootout game form? » Continue reading “Predators Overcome By Wild, Look Forward To Blackhawks”

A show of hands Predators fans who thought the big story of tonight’s game would be the face off of Suter vs Weber? You know the first match up of the D-pair since Suter signed with the Wild over the summer?

Turns out the Suter/Weber drama was nonexistent in comparison to the rest of the evening’s events. » Continue reading “Predators Tame Wild, Take Home First Win”

Suter watch has finally come to an end.

And not in the way Nashville had hoped.

The Minnesota Star-Tribune has reported that Ryan Suter is now the newest defenseman on the Minnesota Wild’s roster. After spending seven years with the Predators organization, Suter has reportedly agreed to a thirteen year, $98 million contract with the Wild.

Questions now rise about the future of Shea Weber as well. He has expressed his desire to play with Suter for the remainder of their careers if possible. And with Weber’s contract up this year, who knows what the future holds for the Predators’ top blue line.

Suter had a career high 46 points with the Preds this past season, totaling 30 penalty minutes and 3 power play goals.

We will miss Suter in Nashville, but wish him all the best with his career in Minnesota.
