Rinne’s winning streak snapped, Preds lose in shootout…
Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne has been pulled from a game just four times this season. Half of them against the Vancouver Canucks. Since being chased by Vancouver on December 1, Rinne was an unimaginable 20-2-1.

Media folks (mostly those north of the border) saw a team with a winning record, poor attendance and pounced. Every hockey “expert” it seemed was calling into question Nashville’s viability as a hockey market.
Fast forward...
