Las Vegas - Carolina is on my mind in the opening game of the playoff series against Nashville. The Hurricanes clinched the top spot in the Central Division with a superb 36-12-8 record. The Predators finished up at 31-23-2 but they've had problems. The Preds have scored 156 goals and allowed 154 for a +2 goal differential. Ask me what the 'Canes differential was? G'head, ask me. Carolina lit the red light 179 times and gave up just 136. My calculator tells me that's a PHENOMENAL +43 goal differential. Yea, PLUS FORTY THREE!!! And if you're looking at the last two games these two played in Nashville, don't worry. Yea, the Predators won both, 3-1 and 5-0, but the Hurricanes were probably not too interested. Why? They came into that two game set with a RIDICULOUS 6-0 record against the Predators. Yea, SIX & OH!!! Gimme the 'Canes for the money, and yea, you can BOOK IT!!!
