The Nashville Predators made history last night. After wiping the Anaheim Ducks out of the playoff race with a surprising 6-3 victory, the Preds advanced to their first Stanley Cup Finals appearance in franchise history.
It’s almost hard to believe. This is a team that had only won three separate playoff series going into this past season since their inception in 1998. And all of a sudden they have doubled that total and are four wins from their first Stanley Cup.
They entered this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs as the eight seed in the Western Conference and squared off with the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round.
