It was not easy, but nothing worth it ever comes that way. After five games of inconsistent hockey, the Nashville Predators played a complete 60 minutes. We, as fans, waited all series to see this team be the ones we knew they were. Tonight, we witnessed just how complete the Predators truly can be. With a 5-0 shutout of the Colorado Avalanche, Nashville can now look forward to the next round and the Winnipeg Jets.
From the moment the puck dropped in Denver, the Predators dominated Game 6. The collective numbers back that up. As a team, Nashville outshot the Avalanche 37 to 22, won 63% of the face-offs, and was called for only two penalties.
