By sunrise, they'll be one of two.
For the first time since becoming Western Conference champions, the Nashville Predators took to the ice in preparation for their first Stanley Cup Final appearance next week. Their opponent - either Ottawa or Pittsburgh - will be determined after the two participate in Game Seven of the Eastern Conference Final on Thursday night.
Indeed, the Predators realize how fortunate they are to be in their current position. They've shown that it doesn't matter how a team finishes in the regular season. What matters is how the club responds to the toughest challenges they can possibly face.
And because of Nashville's efforts, they had practice today. On May 25.
