Predators in the Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Hankster]

Congratulations to the Predators on an extremely gutsy win against the Sharks yesterday. That was a MUST win and they got the job done this time. The Sharks are an extremely tough opponent and it won't be easy for the Preds to win the series. There's a ton of bad blood between the two teams, and the Sharks beat the Preds last year. The big question is....Can the Predators beat the Sharks this time around? I say yes! What do you think?

Absolutely!

There are so many factors going into this that i could go on for hours. Radulov (3 goals+assist in playoffs) just got suspended for a game. bummer. Hartnell just had his two game misconducts revoked(excellent!). will the refs call a fair game/series? can the predators no holds barred, physical/checking play last? Vokoun has played amazingly, and can he keep this up without Mason's help? what happens if we make it to a second round? does the league want us to lose? Can Forsberg keep up his excellent play? why does everyone hate Zidlicky?

just a few questions to ponder.

i guess i was supposed to put in my two cents instead of posting a bunch of questions, but sorry man, i'm on a freaking roller coaster right now and cant keep my head on straight! Go Preds!!!

Edit: by the way, if you want my guess......the Preds win it in six!

NO DOUBT WE CAN WIN THIS FIRST ROUND! The refs are clearly against us, and we are without Steve Sullivan (perhaps the most key guy on our roster) and we're still right there with the full Strength that highly favored Sharks.
