The Nashville Predators are now eight games into the 2021 NHL season, and their record is a clean 50/50 split: four wins and four losses.
That 50/50 split also applies to the Preds’ overall play. There are plenty of aspects in which the Predators have played well. Likewise, there are other aspects that fans watch before loudly exclaiming “MY GOD, WHAT IS THIS PENALTY KILL? PLEASE, BURN THIS ALL WITH FIRE.”
Now, as a reminder, we’re three weeks into the season (did you hear that, Twitter? Just. Three. Weeks.) and there’s a lot of hockey left to play.
