Another ugly collapse

This game is hard to forget, and haunts all of us for how badly the Predators fell apart in quick fashion.

I remember this game vividly because I literally turned away from the action for just a few minutes, and next thing I know the Avalanche had score three goals and up two goals.

Before that, Matt Duchene had just put the Predators up 3-2 against his former team. It was his 5th goal of the season at the time.

This was a complete meltdown and utter collapse by the Predators and the coaching staff. They didn’t make any adjustments on the fly, and the final score ended up being 9-4. Colorado scored six goals in the 2nd period. Six!

This games also marks a point when I really started hearing rumblings about firing Peter Laviolette, and that this team wasn’t good enough to even make the playoffs. Time will tell if that was an accurate statement or not.
