For the third year in a row, the Nashville Predators did not receive a trophy for postseason performance. For the first time since 2014, they will miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
It’s easy to say “well, they made the playoffs for five years in a row with Laviolette,” but do we really see this game having gone any better with the guy who coached them in last year’s Stars series? Probably not.
The Good:
Ann: It is difficult to label much “good” when the end result is elimination, but there were a few good moments in this game.
