Anyway, I called for the Preds to win in 7, which means that Pittsburgh would have to win 3... Things are falling right into place . The plaza/Broadway party was great! They shut down Broadway, from Bridgestone, all the way to the river. 18 hours ago, HedleyLamarr said: Win or lose, enjoy the hell out of this. Could be a once-a-lifetime deal. It was everything I hoped it would be. Usually, I prefer closer games, but us being down, and considering what I paid, I'm ok with the lack of nerve fraying. As an added bonus, I got to meet Butch Jones, and was sitting close enough to high-five him, after every goal. 11 hours ago, SabresRule7361 said: Not gonna lie, the noise in Nashvillle put San Jose last year to shame. I can't remember it ever being louder, and I have almost no voice today. This trip was worth every penny, and I still have the plaza party, for game 4.

Champion of Life. I've been pimping how great an atmosphere Nashville has for hockey for years, and those were just regular season games. I'm glad they're getting to show the entire hockey world just what an enthusiastic and incredible fanbase the Predators have. The pictures and videos I've seen from yesterday were nothing short of incredible. It felt on par with the Gold Medal game in Vancouver back in 2010.

My ex-wife acts like she got the whole city, in the divorce. I usually don't find the draw strong enough to deal with her BS. I know the feeling of needing to avoid contact with certain people. Hope it's better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiK Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Why did the horn sound like that for the second goal? That was so odd. 73, 77, 81, 83, 90, 06 29, 30, 31, 36, 39, 44, 61, 62, 65, 66, 67, 96, 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the NHL Video Office sees a definitive goal, they stop play to get the ref's attention that there's a good goal. It's to prevent extra play from taking place, especially if there's a long stretch of play with no stoppage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Wolf Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 It's impressive that the Preds have had this run while having to play on the road so much considering how much better they've been at home. Just gotta get one in Pittsburgh now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 A few days ago, I was already waving a white flag. That 1st Pittsburgh goal in Game 3 felt like the first nail in the coffin. And then, the Preds went crazy and now the series is tied. Fantastic job, Nashville!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Nashville is going to have to defy history if they want to clinch the Cup on home ice in game 6: Since the NHL expanded in 1967-68, only twice has a team lost game 5 at home in a Cup Final when the series is tied 2-2: 2001 and 2004. Unfortunately, both teams proceeded to lose games 6-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittSmith_95 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Well, let's go back to 2007, shall we? At the time Nashville had made the playoffs in 4 of their 9 seasons, but had never gotten past the 1st round. They were moving upward in attendance, but had hit an all-time low in the 2003-04 season, averaging just over 13,000 fans a game. Their best player was an aging Paul Kariya at 32 & the goaltending was split between Tomas Vokoun & Chris Mason. The best player in the history of the team at the time (& still is) was David Legwand, a guy who averaged 40 points a season. TBH, I get where @Ice_Cap was coming from at the time. Now? They've shown hockey could work in a market no-one expected & have made the Cup Final & tied the series at 2 apiece. All in all, it's a great story & if they win it all, I'll be happy for the fans down Nashville. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Nashville Predators; the little team that could. In both establishing itself in the sun-belt and in this final. Steal one in Pittsburgh and get ready to end things on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGuyJordan Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 As an objective Preds fan, @Ice_Cap wasn't off, on his assessment. If Balsillie hadn't been such an arrogant doofus, the Preds could very well be doing this in the Golden Horseshoe. This just reaffirms my opinion that any metro of 2 million, or more, can succeed. It just takes better management than traditional markets can get away with. The way Nashville is capitalizing on things, now, will help them better weather the lean years when they eventually come.
