Caroline shared her reaction to this afternoon's 6-5 loss, one of the crazier games in recent Preds history. Despite the heroic comeback attempt in the third period, the loss drops Nashville to 7-4-5 on the season, and 19 points leaves them 5th in the Western Conference standings. There's no rest for the Predators, however, as they head right back home for a game Tuesday night.

Random Observations
I've got none - I just don't understand why games are held during the afternoon on weekdays, even when a small percentage of people get the day off.
