Nashville Predators Pros and Cons: Postseason Review

The Nashville Predators played a lot of hockey during their memorable postseason run: We take a look at the good and the bad for the franchise moving forward.

With the ink drying on the 2015-16 season for the Predators, it’s fair to look at Nashville’s postseason run as something like a microcosm of their season. Both had their share of typical professional hockey ups and downs, but each also featured all-time franchise highs and bitterly disappointing lows.

Forever remembered will be the regular season moments like the Predator’s setting a new franchise record 14-game point streak and the snubbing via Jimmy Vesey, but it is the playoff run which will serve as the defining moments of the year- and for the franchise moving forward.

Set aside here will be the more obvious pros and cons of Nashville’s postseason, including the number of franchise firsts achieved (you can read about them in this article), and the blunt sore-thumb of a Game 7 ending. Instead, we focus on those things which the Predator’s playoff run indicates for the future of Smashville.
