| In the final 15 the Predators went 2-10-3 and were so inept they finished at the bottom of the league in goals. They'd love to find a big scorer in the draft. | ||

| Well here's some good news: The Preds got a point vs. Chicago! That's one out of the last 16 points available. It probably says something when Brandon Yip is one of their two NHL 14 Cover Vote candidates. | ||

| Here's another team simply sagging to the finish line. The Predators have lost six in a row and nine of their last 10. Yes, it really has been that bad as only one loss was beyond regulation even. They have been shut out in four of the last 10. | ||

| What's the NHL coming to when the Predators are surrendering seven goals in a game to the Coyotes? That 1-0 OT game on Saturday in Colorado was more like it for the Preds. They just rarely have it all clicking at once. | ||

| Where has this offense been all season? Over the last seven games they're averaging 3.7 goals per. Yet they've lost five of seven (though won the last two) because they've given up 3.6 per. Weird. | ||

| Western Canada was not nice to Nashville at all. They lost three games in regulation and gave up 16 goals in the process. Yet they're still in the hunt. The West is just madness. | ||

| The Predators will either score one or fewer or just go off. There's very little middle ground. Problem is, too often it's of the one or fewer variety. | ||

| Nashville is playing with fire with how little offense they generate. Not only are they last in the NHL in shots per game, they're more than two shots per game behind Columbus. You have to shoot to score goals. As good as Pekka Rinne is, he can only do so much. | ||

| Please, get Pekka Rinne some help. The Predators have scored nada in the past two games. Not even Rinne can win with that ... Despite that anemic offense they're still sixth in the West. Thank the overtime points. | ||

| They still can't score worth a lick but right now it's working. That will happen when you have Pekka Rinne. They're benefitting big from the OT point; eight of 15 games have gone extra time. | ||

| We're not trying to shortchange it here, the loss of Ryan Suter is big, but that doesn't mean this team is left for dead. They still have Shea Weber, Pekka Rinne and a balanced if not outstanding bunch of forwards. Point is, don't count out a Barry Trotz team. | ||
