Nashville Predators History
The Predators joined the NHL in 1998 during a two-year expansion that saw the League add the Atlanta Thrashers, Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild. The team made its first trip to the Playoffs during the 2003-04 season, and proceeded to make the postseason six of the next seven seasons. Nashville won its first Playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks in 2011, and returned to the second round again the following spring.
Two seasons later, with Peter Laviolette as Head Coach, Nashville began their four-year run as a Stanley Cup contender. With P.K. Subban arriving ahead of the 2016-17 season to anchor the defense, the Preds upset the Chicago Blackhawks, St. Louis Blues and Anaheim Ducks in consecutive Playoff series to reach the 2017 Stanley Cup Final. That streak had two distinctions: It was the first time a No. 8 seed knocked out a top seed (the Blackhawks) and the Predators became the first team in two decades to win 10 consecutive home Playoff games.
Facing the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup Final, the Preds lost the first two games before storming back to take Games 3 and 4. After a decisive Pittsburgh home victory, the Penguins prevailed 2-0 in Game 6, with both goals coming in the final two minutes.
Filip Forsberg, who re-signed with the team for eight seasons in July 2022, is the Predators all-time leading scorer. Roman Josi, Pekka Rinne, Mike Fisher and Steve Sullivan have all won NHL awards, while Josi, Rinne and former captain Shea Weber have the distinction of being NHL First-Team All-Stars for the club. The Nashville Predators have made the Playoffs 15 times in their 24 seasons.

Thanks for the opportunity to go to see the Nashville Predators! It was fun to go to this preseason game
I signed up for the all you can eat section and was very disappointed with the administration for denying fans of that. I don't care if they gave away jerseys to everyone there. if there is a section where there is free beer or free food people pay money to have those luxuries.
I was surprised by how exciting the atmosphere was for a preseason game. The arena was pretty full and the crowd was great. Also, helps that the Preds played well and easily won the game. We can receive free frosties from Wendy's because they scored 5 goals. Service was good and the staff were very friendly.
Seats were in the lower bowl and were phenomenal! The game is face paced and exciting and the entertainment was great. There's no better crowd in the NHL to get you pumped about hockey!
Predators versus the Thrashers. Great game!! Although it was a preseason game, it drew a pretty good crowd. I got the free seats from the twitter message, so I was in 213. Jordan Tootoo sat in the booth right behind me. It was awesome! But is there ever a not awesome predators game?!?! I highly recommend.
We loved the game and the excitement. The crowd shots were a blast. THe Preds have a fantastic goalie! He does a great job.
We loved the game last night! It was so much fun to cheer along with all the loyal fans and it really helps that the Preds played so well!! Free frosty's!!
GREAT VIEW! Incredible game! GO PREDATORS! FIRST BIG WIN OF THE SEASON!
Had a great time at the game. Tickets were easy to print right from the computer through Ticketmaster.
Pre-season opener and we close it out with 5-0. Sweet!!! New jerseys are too cool.
How about those predators? They had a great season. When i went to one of they're games, i loved it. The smell of the nice nacho burps and smell of the food whisping in my nose. It was like i was in heaven hearing the massive blow of the buzzer when the pred's shot one in. "He shot and he scored", said the speaker at the game. Seeing the fans with they're ginormous foam fingers and face paintings was a blast! I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see a : loud, fun, energetic game with lots of energy and noise... This was a great experiance and i would defiantly do it again. :D
