On Tuesday night, the Nashville Predators put away one of the league’s best teams in a one-goal thriller. Frankly, Nashville hadn’t played that well all season. It was immensely satisfying to watch these players reach their full potential, even with some wicked injuries.
On Thursday night, then, with Arizona in town, you wouldn’t be blamed for expecting domination. For the most part, Nashville indeed took command of shot attempts and puck possession. However, with just under five minutes left in regulation, I sat with my arms raised, wondering how they had lost another game to the Coyotes.
Of course, the result didn’t last.
