The sting is still fresh for many of us, myself included. After a successful regular-season campaign, the poor performances we witnessed in the playoffs left many of us looking for answers. The question was simply, “how did this happen?” Was it winning the Presidents’ Trophy? As one well-versed in curses, no. The Nashville Predators lost in the playoffs because of how they played as a team.
Game 7 left us all feeling like Switch from The Matrix, saying “Not like this. Not like this!” And, just like that, the season was done. All hope was gone, and sad songs became the fragrance of Predators fans.
