Big Hockey Game Tonight

| March 18, 2008

I am going to the Nashville Predator’s Hockey game tonight. In fact, I am taking six of the nephews with me. The Nashville nephews and the Oklahoma nephews. The Oklahoma nephews have never been to a NHL game before. It will be exciting for them. Also we are going to see Alexander Ovechkin. He is [...]

Singing, Hockey, and National Pride

| February 21, 2008

This week I was at the Nashville Predator’s game. Charity and I went as a date, more for me than for her. As a true hockey fan, the heckle from the crowd is an art form. A well thought of and researched understanding of the put-down is a great hockey tradition. Any one can say [...]

Real Predator Fans

| December 15, 2007

Since the dad went to the Predators Game on Monday Night, Charity dressed the children up to show their support. These are the best looking Predator fans around. I am sure they would win Fan of the Game. Soon the children will be coming with me to the games.

Going to Predator’s Game Tonight

| December 10, 2007

As I am writing this blog, I am wearing my Nashville Predators jersey to support the team. I am heading to the game tonight against those terrible Red Wings. We have great tickets, in fact they are 150 dollar tickets. And no I did not pay for them, going with the brother-in-law and the nephews. [...]

Predator Deal Needs to be Done

| October 25, 2007

There are hours left on the table for the local ownership team to complete the deal with the City of Nashville. This is according to the Nashville paper. The reason is that the city must have time to reflect on the deal. The new ownership team wants to have some of the tax revenue that [...]

The Dreams of the Predators

| September 7, 2007

The Predators are a great team. They are deep with talent and skill, but the one major problem is that the Predators do not have one main top Canadian foward in the lineup. There are a lot of good players, but no great player yet. It would be my wish that the Predators play well [...]

Fantasy Hockey Begins

| August 28, 2007

Every year my heart becomes excited as I see the advertisement for Yahoo’s fantasy hockey league. Before anyone jumps to any conclusions, this league is completely free, I am not gambling, but just having a ton of fun. Every year my brother sets up a league with his friends and me. And for the last [...]

The Drama of the Predators

| August 22, 2007

My Nashville Predators are still in drama mode. It seemed like local ownership was going to buy the team for sure. They still plan to. But there is these tax issues to deal with. They want some extra money from the city and some extra promises. There is a ton of debate in Nashville now [...]

Finished “Thunder and Lightning”

| August 5, 2007

I love a good hockey book and this publication does not pull any punches. He is plainly honest and insulting to those he dislikes. There is a lot of internal fighting within the NHL. Why would we be shocked. There is a lot of money in the league. Phil has lived a interesting life in [...]

Great News about the Predators

| August 2, 2007

I love the Nashville Predators, and with all of this selling talk, I was disappointed because it seemed like the team was going to move. Well it has just been announced that a local guy will be buying the team with the intentions of keeping the team in Nashville. My heart would have been broken [...]
