Game 1 Reaction: Predators’ Stars Disappear In Anticlimactic Showing

Nashville Hockey Now’s Michael Gallagher talks Nashville Predators with Braden Gall of 440 Sports and Emma Lingan of the Hockey News on the Gold Standard podcast.

In our live playoff special, we recap the Predators 4-2 Game 1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Were the Predators rusty having not played in six days or were the Canucks just the better team? What were our hosts’ one big takeaway from Sunday’s matchup?

We also discuss why Juuse Saros’ performance isn’t anything to worry about heading into Game 2, why did Filip Forsberg and Roman Josi disappear in the biggest game of the year to date, and what the heck happened with the Jeremy Lauzon/Alex Carrier defensive pairing?
