......The Day After.....
****Random thoughts while sitting in our palatial sports offices, overlooking a wonderful Nashville, Tennessee***
********************************************************
It is the Day After for the Preds and their fans. Now is the time to not remember that tough playoff loss to the Red Wings, but to remember what a great season it was. Winning their first two of the year, then losing 6 straight, then winning 7 straight, something like that, it was truly a roller coaster for everyone involved.
The problem for me is that hockey starts back up in September when football is just starting. In the south that is a problem and it is in Nashville to a lesser degree. It seems that one December rolls around and it gets cold all day and night, people start going to games and hockey becomes a big interest.
Preds Fault? Absolutely not. Just like the CFL in Canada. There is a reason they play in the summer and wrap up in the late fall. Because hockey is starting and they want to be done.
The atmosphere yesterday and for games 3 and 4 was incredible. I told a fellow sports reporter, ‘this is why you live in a big city.’ Great crowds, great fun, to bad they lost.
The Day After is much better than the day that never was. Word!

I’m just wondering why Coach F looked SO unhappy as the camera panned upon his gorgeousness at the game? Was a hair out of place on his Stache?
