That was a huge win the Nashville Predators got by defeating the Buffalo Sabres before the All-Star break. The difference between going into the break with another crushing loss or a gritty win can’t be overlooked.
There’s just no consistency with this team for much of the season. They get us excited and hopeful and then turn around and lay an egg, or multiple eggs in a row. This can’t keep happening after the All-Star break because the margin for error is shrinking big time.
As we sit right now, the Predators are the only team with a positive goal differential in the Western Conference who aren’t in a playoff spot.
