The Nashville Predators have been surprisingly good throughout the season, but they haven’t really impressed me. The Panthers, on the other hand, have impressed me, but they haven’t been good. Weird huh? They are facing each other tonight at 7:00 PM and you can follow the game on espn360.com or NHL live stream gamecenter.nhl.com.

The Panthers are working hard and are usually better against good teams, but it doesn’t really go their way. The will is there, but they are missing a couple of top players who can put the puck in, and just common luck. They have to trust Vokoun or Clemmensen in most of the games, since they’re not good enough offensively, and when they let in to many goals it’s hard to win any games.

The Predators are on safe ground and have been pretty good recently. The teams are only playing each other twice per season and the Predators won the last game with 4-1 before Christmas. The Panthers are returning home to Florida after a tough road trip in Canada and I think it’s hard to recharge this soon. The Predators are winning the game, again. You can watch NHL live stream online on gamecenter.nhl.com or espn360.com.

The game starts at 00.30 CET.
