Weekly Features
Our staff brings you regular looks on certain topics.
The Week That Was: Chapter 19
Another week, another lost chance to gain ground. Oh, and there’s a new member of the Preds family who isn’t losing.
Five-Hole Friday: Puppies and Goats
This week’s lineup features P.K., Arvi, goats, slashes and Smash.
The Week That Was: Chapter 18
This was quite a week.
Central Division Roundup: Week Eighteen
The entire division is in the playoff picture, but not for good reasons.
Five-Hole Friday: Intangibles
The word of the week is "intangibles."
The Week That Was: Chapter 17
An abbreviated week because of the bye, an old friend returns to fire up the crowd, and still no power play goals in a while.
Central Division Roundup: Week Seventeen
A lot of teams had some time off.
The Week That Was: Chapter 16
Two wins, some All-Star Game fun and a milestone announcement mark a pretty good week.
Central Division Roundup: Week Sixteen
With this schedule, remind me again why the NHL couldn’t do the Olympics last year?
Five-Hole Friday: Breathe In, Breathe Out
The pre-All-Star Game edition...and some Cawlidge Hawckey.
The Week That Was: Chapter 15
There were lots of hats thrown, but a suspension and a couple of stinkers make for a less-than-ideal homestand.
Central Division Roundup: Week Fifteen
Trades! Trades! Trades!
Five-Hole Friday: The Golden Guys
This week’s discussion includes goalies, onions, and tiny gold scoring threats.
The Week That Was: Chapter 14
The season’s longest road trip ends with mixed results. One thing was consistent, however: Scoring four goals worked out pretty well every time.
Central Division Roundup: Week Fourteen
We’ve got goals! We’ve got trades! We’ve got a couple of the same Eastern Conference teams who kept seeing Central Division opponents this week!
Five-Hole Friday: The Mattias Ekholm Fan Club
In which we discuss The Prince, coaching wins, P.K. Subban, and hockey in the south.
The Week That Was: Chapter 13
The moms tag along on New Year’s Eve, players remember where high-danger areas are and health continues to improve, but one "soft" effort keeps the week from being perfect. Also, let’s talk Winter Classic for a minute.
Five-Hole Friday: All That Glitters is Gold
This week’s edition features #PredsMoms, slumps, All-Star Games, and Finland.
The Week That Was: Week 12
We certainly thought the losing streak was about to end. However, the nightmare stretch is threatening to begin 2019 on a sour note.
Central Division Roundup: Week Twelve
It’s a mini-roundup for a mini-week.
Five-Hole Friday: Rise Up
World Juniors is our reward for making it through the multitude of injuries and Christmas with relatives we don’t really like.
The Week That Was: Week 11
One point. One lousy point in an ugly week right before Christmas. Coal in a stocking is better than this "present." I’d take socks, too.
Central Division Roundup: Week Eleven
It was a good week for teams that didn’t need a good week, and it was a bad week for teams that really needed not to have a bad week. Sometimes all you can do is shrug.
Five-Hole Friday: Christmas Snipes
It hasn’t been a great week for Nashville, but there’s some good things to discuss.
The Week That Was: Week 10
Nashville certainly bounced back this week, though it’s not without some demerits.
Central Division Roundup: Week Ten
Double digits, baby!
Five-Hole Friday: Round One
A new quick-read for your Friday. Here’s some hockey thoughts.
The Week That Was: Week 9
What started as a promising week ended very, very poorly.
Central Division Roundup: Week 9
Has this week felt really long to anyone else?
The Week That Was: Week 8
Not a great week, but some reinforcements came in from Milwaukee and helped out with the mounting injury list.
Central Division Roundup: Week 8
Trades! Awful mishandling of concussions! Goals! It’s like the 1980s in here this week.
