Anyone remember what the feeling was going into the first round playoff series for the Nashville Predators against the mammoth Chicago Blackhawks in 2017? I’m sure you remember feelings of “no hope” and “well at least we made it in”.
Those feelings are similar this season heading into the postseason, although under different circumstances. The Predators are up against another top seed in 2021, the Carolina Hurricanes. A team they managed to beat twice, although the last one under much different circumstances than the first.
