Four straight wins can mess with your head, especially when the Nashville Predators still look like a team under construction. We’re about 20% into the 2026-2027 season, Nashville sits at 8-4-5, and the big question isn’t just “Are they good?” It’s w... more
The fastest way to start an argument in Nashville right now is to say two words: Brady Martin. We go straight at the question Predators fans can’t stop asking: did Barry Trotz make a mistake taking Martin fifth overall in the 2025 NHL Draft with Jame... more
A one-for-one trade should feel clean. This one feels like whiplash. Nashville sends Matthew Wood to the Seattle Kraken and brings in Shane Wright, and my first reaction is basically: what are we doing here? Then we slow down and actually unpack it, ... more
A week like this messes with your head as a hockey fan: the Nashville Predators get blanked 6-0 by Boston, drop an overtime heartbreaker in Pittsburgh after leading late, then turn around and light up the Colorado Avalanche for six at Bridgestone Are... more

Love her insight into the Preds and hockey. Always provides a unique perspective, great humor and even a little life coaching! :)
Ann is every person in Middle Tennessee’s favorite hockey mom, and an excellent narrator of the beautiful game my daughter called the “Canadian Boy Aquarium”. She brings levity, humor and an even keeled perspective that you won’t see in the hot take slot machine and thoughts for clicks environment which has subsumed modern media. We all love her and you should too.
Ann brings passion, intelligence, humility and just the right amount of whimsy. She balances well between compassion for players and logic for GM/coaching decisions, and she spices in life experience making it a shared human experience. I so wish I could find that balance on coverage of all of my teams, but feel so lucky that she's covering the predators.
I’ve been a follower of Ann’s work for a few years. She’s a great storyteller and a hockey fan first and foremost. She makes a lot of smart observations in a medium where hot takes are what are served up daily but she’ll draw you into the conversation with her welcoming nature. She’s part hockey nerd and a roving reporter that asks good questions and will try to get you answers—and if she doesn’t have them she’ll find them for you!
