Here we go. The final match-up of Nashville Predators excellence from last year. We’ve seen a lot of incredible performances get eliminated in this summer tournament. Take a tour through the previous posts and look at the original bracket to see for yourself.

Unsurprisingly, this final match-up features performances from two of the most memorable games in recent Preds history. While no one will soon forget Filip Forsberg’s between-the-legs goal or Roman Josi dipsy-doodling around Erik Karlsson, these two games are the ultimate landmarks from the ’15-’16 season.
