I had the opportunity to bring my son to his first NHL playoff game this afternoon in Nashville. Game 5 of the Central Division Playoff between our Predators and the Dallas Stars.
Unfortunately, the Predators have a habit of poor play in afternoon games, which is playing out at the moment to the tine of a 4 goals to 2 deficit going in to the third period.
We will see if the Preds can wake up between periods and pull off the third period comeback, another thing that has not been their strong suit this season. If they cant pull it off, they head to Dallas down 3 games to 2 with Dallas having a chance to close out the series on home ice.
Watching this team today, I think they will be golfing this time next week and out of the playoffs. Which would be another disappointing end to a season. Maybe it will lead to GMDP making some big off season trades and acquisitions.
At least we wont have to worry about home hockey games at the same time as the NHL draft next week. Silver lining for the city i suppose.
