Pekka Rinne’s Yearlong Journey from Anguish to Triumph

Let's go back to May 12th, 2016 for a moment.

It was a dark day for the Nashville Predators. In what was at the time “the biggest game in franchise history,” the Predators stunk up the SAP Center, losing 5-0 to the Sharks in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

While the Predators’ tired blueline was the most likely reason for the ugliness of the loss, the bulk of the blame fell where it normally does: the goaltender that allowed five goals, putting the game out of question early.

I’m sure you remember this moment.
