Thanks to first round exits of my two teams, I need to reserve my tee times and head to the local golf course.  The Thunder weren't expected to do much as the sixth seed and probably didn't really belong in the playoffs anyways but got in due to a quirky playoff format.  But as for the Nashville Predators, they have been knocked out of the first round the past two years despite being the higher seeded team with home ice advantage.  Not only that they have lost both years 1 game to 4.  This means in the past 10 playoff games, the Nashville Predators are 2-8.  Not exactly stellar.  Despite this it sounds like the coaching staff will be back, the same coaching staff the said in the papers they wouldnt do anything different.  The front office better keep their mouths shut about fan support, they have been preaching patience to the fan base for the past ten years.  And guess what, the Preds have not won a playoff series in the pat 10 years.  In home playoff games they are 4-5, but have only won two of thier last six.  They have yet to win a road playoff game in seven attempts.  And they think this is the kind of thing that provides ammunition to build a fan base?  Tell that shit to the tourists! Well enoughrmabling for now its time for me to hit the golf course.
