What a season!

The Nashville Predators made history a multitude of ways this past season. Likewise, it was also the season of firsts. Anytime a franchise completes something for the first time it is going to be a huge deal. This year the biggest first Nashville accomplished was winning a game in Stanley Cup Finals. They might not have won it all, but what they did achieve deserves to be recognized.

Playing for the Stanley Cup is a huge triumph, win or lose. Nashville managed something this season that four other teams have yet to do in their franchise history. So, even though Nashville fell just short, winning a game in the Stanley Cup Finals is one of the hardest things to do in a season, and when taken into consideration that it is the first time in franchise history that the Preds attained this, it is without a doubt the greatest moment from the Nashville Predators’ 2016-17 season.
