Another year, another playoff exit for the Anaheim Ducks. But hey, at least they didn’t get bounced in another Game 7 at home, right? Right? Ya, I’ll stop.
This Series
At the start of this years playoffs, I chose Anaheim and Nashville to meet in the Western Conference Finals. Nashville looked stacked on the back end and their journey through the Central seemed fairly secure for them. And, by the time they made it to the conference finals, this Nashville team looked even more dangerous than I had originally anticipated. Add this to the fact that Anaheim had sustained some key injuries to depth forwards, and I was doubtful that the Ducks would be able to get past the Predators.
