SEATTLE -- Practically everyone in hockey has heard that the Nashville Predators' trip to see U2 in February at the Sphere in Las Vegas was canceled because of how poorly the team was playing at that time.
They'd lost six of eight games before the NHL All-Star break and would lose two of their next three games after returning from the break. They allowed more than four goals in eight straight games and lost seven of those games, including a 9-2 loss to the Dallas Stars on Feb. 15 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
