For much of the season, many Predators fans wanted to see their team in the Pacific bracket. Reasoning: for much of the season, the Pacific teams had fewer points.

That's what Bruce Boudreau does. He wins the division.
Nashville will be facing an opponent that collected skulls for most of the spring, and it's an opponent with some very familiar names; Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf, Ryan Kesler, and Kevin Bieksa.
