Best Predators Moment: Pekka Rinne Wins Three Hundredth Game
Thirty-four goalies have made it to three hundred wins in the National Hockey League. Pekka Rinne became the latest man to make that list on February 22. There wasn’t any doubt on this night, as his Predators teammates scored seven goals to sink the San Jose Sharks’ hopes of victory.

With all due respect to David Legwand and other great Nashville Predators of the past, I don’t think there’s anybody that can top Rinne for the title of best player in franchise history. He’s aging like a fine wine and his team has never been better. Pekka Rinne will have the opportunity to show the rest of the US, along with Canada, that he’s among the best of his generation.
