I'm not a hockey fan, but I am a sorts fan. We get our local TV out of Nashville, so I've had to hear all about the Predators for the past 6 weeks or so. I have never sat down and watched a hockey game from start to finish, but over the years I've watched enough to gain a halfway understanding of what the game is about. One of the reasons I've never really cared for hockey is because of the violence, as I see no point in some of the hits they give each other, as some of it has nothing to do with the game. But, having said that, today's hockey is pale in comparison with the way it once was, as far as the dirty hits go. Nashville had their chances last night, and probably should have won, but it just wasn't meant to be. I think it all boiled down to who was the been there-done that team, and it wasn't the Predators.
