Matt Murray recorded a shutout and the Nashville Predators fell to the Pittsburgh Penguins by a 4-0 score on Saturday night at PPG Paints Arena. The loss is Nashville’s second of the young season, after dropping both games of their opening road trip. The effort on Saturday night was one that brought more satisfaction than Thursday’s efforts in Boston, but that was only so much consolation for a Preds team that finds themselves 0-2-0 early on. “It’s hard to say when you’re losing 3-0 that it’s a better effort, but for me, it’s a step in the right direction,...

The Nashville Predators made a late push, but it wasn’t enough as they fell by a 4-3 final to the Boston Bruins as both clubs opened the 2017-18 regular season on Thursday night at TD Garden. When analyzing reasons for the loss, a lack of speed throughout the evening was at the top of Nashville’s list. The Preds managed to score twice within the final two minutes of regulation to make things interesting, but that didn’t provide much solace to the group in their first game back after last season’s run. “Just the speed of our game, they were...

Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota “did a little more” in practice on Thursday, according to Titans coach Mike Mularkey. Mariota is “day to day” with the hamstring injury, making him questionable for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins. “He did a little more, not a lot more, but a little more,” Mularkey said of Mariota. “We’re really being smart, and listening to what he is saying about himself.” Mularkey said on Thursday there’s a chance the Titans might consider keeping three quarterbacks active on Sunday. In addition to Mariota, the Titans also have Matt Casseland Brandon Weeden, who was signed on...

There’s about to be an addition to the rafters of Bridgestone Arena. Prior to the Predators home opener on Oct. 10, the team will unveil the 2016-17 Western Conference Championship banner and raise it high above the ice in their home rink, a reminder of how far they’ve come and where they still want to go. It’s a simple yet impactful design – donned with the team’s primary logo at the top, followed by script and the Tri-Star guitar pick logo at the bottom, all set on a background of Gold. A new Seventh Man banner will also join...

Despite a red hot start, the Red Raider golf team struggled to score on Tuesday in Day #1 of the TSSAA State Golf Tournament.   Led by an eagle on the first hole by senior Reid Lawrence, the five CHS golfers scored 3 pars, and a bogey to go with Lawrence’s eagle.  That fast start surged them to the top of the leader board after 1 hole of play.  But trouble in the first 4 holes put each golfer over par before the turn. Coffee County finished the day with a team score of 324 which put them in 7th...
