It’s truly make-or-break time for the Nashville Predators tonight in Game 6, much like it’s already felt for over two months now.
After losing a heartbreaker in overtime in Game 5, the Nashville Predators come back home to Bridgestone Arena to try to extend this to seven games. They’ve already exceeded expectations for some who were predicting this to be a resounding sweep or over in five games.
Hopefully we’re not having flashbacks of Game 6 in 2019 when the Predators lost in overtime to the Dallas Stars to get eliminated in the first round. I just can’t handle that amount of disappointment again.
I know we’ve become accustomed to postseason failure over the past few seasons, but that’s in the past. The Predators have a huge opportunity in front of them to recreate what happened in 2017.
The Predators have managed to go toe-to-toe with a Hurricanes team that has the roster to win a Stanley Cup. You’ll have a hard time finding anyone who thinks the same about the Predators. But there’s reason to still have in confidence that they can pull this first round upset off.
