No Radulov, injuries, etc. This team far exceeded expectations. There are fans who believe that Barry Trotz should be fired that he cannot motivate his team. These are new fans who know football but do not know hockey. Coach Trotz did a tremendous job along with Team Captain Jason Arnott to rally this team. This kind of return from the all-star break doesn't happen without a rapport between the coaches and players. I just get tired of people who do not know the game laying blame where there should be admiration. I grew up in Niagara Falls, NY and I watched the NY Ranger, Buffalo Sabres, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Montreal Canadiens. I know what team character is, and the Predators have it. We just need some big forwards in front of the net to bang home some rebounds. We have been weak in that area without Radulov. However, Joel Ward did a great job trying to work in front of the net. I never thought that hockey would make it in Nashville, but I am proud it did and proud to be a Nashville Predators fan.
