Even though the Nashville Predators won the regular season series against the Colorado Avalanche 3-1, the post season was a whole different story against this Western Conference rival. After being swept by the Avs in the first round, Colorado is now heading to the Stanley Cup Finals - so where does that leave Nashville Predators fans? On today's episode, Nick and Ann wrestle with the uncomfortable question - does it make sense for fans in Smashville to root for the Avalanche? We break down the Preds' series against the Avs to see just how similar the first round sweep and the conference finals sweep of the Oilers were. Did Nashville hold their own as well as - or better - than the Edmonton Oilers in the conference finals? We play the painful game of "what if" - what IF the Predators had won in Arizona and had a different path in the post season? Could this Preds team have made it to the conference finals to face off against Colorado there? We also discuss - and disagree - on whether the Rangers or Lightning could stop the Avs in the Finals - and we tell you who we think Nashville fans should be rooting for.
