Three European goaltenders are the finalists for the 2013 Vezina Trophy, to be handed out in a TV special during the upcoming Stanley Cup Final. Which one of them will earn his spot in goaltending history?
That was spooky, huh? Just the other day, he was telling us the Senators weren't coming back, and he was right! He's just like old what's-his-name. So the Penguins advance, and will wait to see if Boston can finish off New York tonight.
Yeah, yeah, I fell down on the job and forgot to get this posted on Friday... but now you have something to do this weekend! What the heck is going through Tom Cruise's mind at this Kings game?

Another day, another draft pick signing his Entry Level Contract with the Nashville Predators, as this time we have a Finnish defensemen joining the ranks in Mikko Vainonen.
If Detroit advances, it's the biggest upset of the playoffs, right? I mean, they barely made it in, so a trip to the Western Conference Finals would be pretty unexpected.
As always, it will be interesting to see how well phenomenal success at the junior hockey level translates to the pro game.
It was a game for a period, but after that, the Ottawa Senators were about as useless as Senator (insert name of actual senator you don't like). And they're about to be "voted out" of the office known as the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
We've all heard the phrase describing the Hart Trophy as celebrating the "player judged most valuable to his team" in the NHL. But which unfortunate souls are on the opposite end of that scale?
Well, that's gonna be about all for New York. They slipped by Washington somehow, but they've run out of steam against Boston. A pretty tough end for a team that was expected to contend for the Cup this year.
In what seems to be a natural follow-up to yesterday's news about Peter Horachek being fired, the Nashville Predators have hired a new assistant coach in Phil Housley, one of the top offensive defensemen in NHL history.
Well, I guess we have our fall guy. I was wondering if we'd ever find out why the team was so bad this year, and we finally have the answer. Peter Horachek.
Former NHL goaltender Darren Pang has made a name for himself as a TV analyst for the last several years, but tonight he dropped a bombshell for Nashville Predators fans.
The Nashville Predators are rewarding a longtime prospect today, by signing Mark Van Guilder to a two-way contract for the next two seasons.
While Smith's 2013 NHL season was an unmitigated train wreck, young forwards with offensive potential probably deserve a second (or third) chance in Nashville, given the team's overall lack of talent up front.
Be the Frist on your block to show your pride in the Nashville Predators with an On The Forecheck t-shirt!
The Nashville Predators were well represented at the 2013 IIHF World Hockey Championships, as defenseman Roman Josi was the standout of the tournament.
Sure, the NHL's best & brightest get their honors at the end of the season, but here at OTF we like to put the spotlight on those players who excelled in the unusual things.
The Sharks got one they had to have last night, winning 2-1 in OT to get back in their series with the Kings. I bet they wish they could get that Game 2 collapse back. But they can't. And Detroit handled Chicago to even up that series 1-1.
In Game 1, the Senators were able to keep Sidney Crosby off the scoreboard. Not so in Game 2. Ottawa's going to have to figure out what to do, and quick, if they hope to get back in this series.
The better team won in Boston, no doubt. But the Sharks-Kings series is a bit of a surprise. Although I guess it shouldn't be. The Sharks have plenty of puzzling early post-season exits on their resumé and the Kings have been streaky.
So Darth Vader shows up at a Maple Leafs game... It's your job to fill in the punchline. And, go!
Two battle-hardened defensive stalwarts meet in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, as the #4 seed Boston Bruins host the #6 seed New York Rangers tonight in Game One.
This Hawks-Wings series is a bit like watching a fight between Justin Bieber and Ryan Seacrest...it doesn't matter who wins, but you'd like to see both sides suffer a lot of damage. And Chicago did the most in Game 1 with a pretty easy 4-1 victory.
An old rivalry is rekindled as the #1 seed Chicago Blackhawks meet #7 Detroit in the playoffs for the 16th time in the storied history of these two franchises. Chicago holds a 8-7 edge in series victories, but can the Red Wings even it up?
The Penguins went back to being the Penguins in a pretty dominating performance, while the Kings blanked the Sharks 2-0 in the late game. Convincing wins, but I think both these series are going at least 6.
The defending Stanley Cup champs drew a familiar foe in the Western Conference Semifinals with division rival San Jose. These two talented teams will put a spotlight on Sunbelt Hockey in what should be a highly entertaining, competitive series.
