congrats on your great run.. i was cheering for you guys after caps got eliminated...

just wondering why they didn't play Sissons at all on the PP and dying minutes while choosing to go with Fisher and Jarknok.. when Sissons seems to be the one getting best goal opportunities...

Laviolette is not infalliable, and some of his decisions were suspect and stink of too much trust in vets, like rolling with McLeod and Fiddler on the road.

Gotta be proud of this run. When no one picked the Preds to get past Chicago, taking it to game 6 of the finals, and certainly having their chances to win Games 1 & 2. Let's reload and prep for next year!

This team will be back!

Congrats on the run Preds fans. The no-goal call was total ********. The Preds did have ~5 power plays and a breakaway or two. Shoulda delivered one but couldn't. I will say I'm a Preds fan now though. **** the Penguins

Sabres fan here sending positive vibes.

Congrats on the run. You proved a lot of people wrong with this run and showed the doubters that Nashville can be a great hockey city and inject its own unique culture into the sport.

You've got a lot to be proud of, just remember that.

Hockey gods were not on our side tonight. It happened to be a fluke goal against but that's what it was going to take I think. Heck of an effort tonight and a great season. Sorry we didn't get to see a game 7.

Friends, don't give the Ducks fans, Blues fans, Pens fans, or anyone else the pleasure of seeing you down. Go outside and blow off your steam, keep it off here. Damn proud of this team and they kept defying expectations right up until they couldn't any longer. Took a team with two generational centers to do it. Heads high. Go Preds!

Oilers fan dropping in here. Just wanted to congratulate the Preds on an amazing series, you guys really deserved to win this one. Regardless, figures to be a great team for years to come. Unfortunate ending with the refs and what not. See you guys strong again next year.

Awesome job by you guys this series. Hats off!

You can't overcome getting jobbed by the refs in two games.

Unfortunately, this is the world of the NHL. Blatant favoritism and incompetent officiating.

I didn't think we would win a game 7 in Pittsburgh with how we've played there but it would've been nice to at minimum have this game go to overtime.

I'm in tears. Both of sadness and with pride at this team. 2 months ago no one in the hockey world expected the Preds to win a round much less the west. I like be this team and am damn proud of our accomplishments.

Yep, nothing to be ashamed of. If we could have settled down a few pucks it's a different story.

St. Louis Avs Fan here. Great run Preds fans. Your boys played their a**es off all post-season and they should be proud of giving the Pens (and their referee buddies) all they could handle. I gotta say, I've lost so much respect for the league with the blatant favoritism the refs always show Pittsburgh. Did any big call go against them in any series? I don't think so. I guess the league has to hype up Sydney & Herman Munster Malkin as long as they can to make more $$$. Sickening.

I continue to be baffled by our pp set up as well. That's the one time where two defensemen can switch sides and set both up for one timers. Since we love to do that, we're purposely shooting ourselves in the foot by playing two left and right shot defenseman together. There were openings, especially on the last two pps for one timers but by the time a defenseman got the pass and then turned himself towards the net, the shot was no longer there.

I believe most of the opportunities were for Ekholm. If it's Ellis or Subban instead, we can probably get a one timer through. Not to mention that it makes defending that much easier. You're going to cheat to the side where the one timer is possible to stop it knowing that if the pass goes back, you have a little bit of time to get back before the shot can be set up.

Thanks you guys know how it feels to get screwed in a home game 6 so there is a brotherhood there


Just another painful loss in my lifetime. I'm never going to see a Championship ever. In the end I don't play and I have a beautiful daughter and I live in Tennessee.

Sorry gang, you all deserved a better fate. Was cheering for them since my Flames got bounced. Great run, great fans, great city. Congratulations it won't be your last time at the dance, that's for sure.
Cheers guys and gals, I salute you.

I can't even imagine what you're going through losing to that **** team. Luck is always a factor but that was absurd. The Stanley Cup means less today than it did yesterday because that team won it. I'm crushed, myself.

But anyway, I wanted to thank the Predators. It's rare that I get that into it when the Rangers are eliminated but I was that into it. I had a lot of fun.

European fans make fun of us because of our relative lack of atmosphere, but Nashville is as good as anything they do in soccer.

Sorry preds fans...sad the habs let go of Subban, but glad he got this far. Hopefully he gets to lift the cup with you guys one day, the habs never deserved him but the preds do.

Same here coming from a Kings fan. Quite a city / fanbase you got there.
