NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Predators’ amazing, improbable playoff run finally is over.
After capturing the hearts of Nashville’s country music stars and tens of thousands more in and around Music City, Nashville’s season ended at the hands of the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-0 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Not many gave Nashville a chance. The Predators were the bottom seed in the West, seemingly unlikely to advance out of the first round much less be one of the last two teams standing.
