What many people thought impossible turned into reality last night. Last season’s run to the Stanley Cup was merely a fluke to other fanbases. It took a run in the final weeks of the season for the Nashville Predators to make the playoffs in 2017. Now, the enter the postseason hoisting the Presidents’ Trophy. In one evening, the Predator earned their first division title, the top-seed in the Western Conference, and took home significant hardware.
I will be honest, I did not expect all of these things to happen this season. We talked before the season about the possibility of the Predators winning their first division title, but that was the pinnacle most pundits expected.
