This is a 6* PUCK-LINE DESTRUCTION on the Nashville Predators.

This series has been a complete battle and we're expecting Game 7 to come down to the wire. In a contest which we see being decided late or in extra periods, we'll recommend laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. Through six games the home side has prevailed on every occasion. Note though that the Predators are 5-1 in one-goal games during the playoffs, which included a 2-1 decision on the road in Game 7 vs. Anaheim in the first round. Nashville only had one day off between its Round 1 and Round 2, while San Jose had five, but the Sharks are the older team, so we're calling fatigue a "wash." One area which the visitors have a clear advantage in is in net, as you can't teach "experience," we'll take Pekka Rinne over the Sharks' Martin Jones in the Game 7 scenario. Nashville is playing with "house money" at this point, as the franchise has never played past a Game 6 in the second round. The Sharks have had a lead late in all three games they've lost in this series and their inability to close out the Predators is about come back and bite them here. While we wouldn't be shocked by the outright upset, we will in the end recommend playing the PUCK-LINE.
