The last two games have not gone as we would have hoped. But, the Nashville Predators are not going to play elite level games all the time. Every team goes through poor stretches. It feels as if the Predators are simply in one of those moments now.
But, let’s be honest. The team is performing better than we thought in many ways. They get outshot most games, but do outscore their opponents more times than not. It is a joy to watch. While it is a collective effort, the play of Craig Smith comes as most shocking to me.
