The Predators are looking to make their first Stanley Cup Final. Meanwhile, Anaheim’s looking to make its first final since the 2006-07 season. Ironically, they hired the same head coach who led them there last time. Randy Carlyle is back in Anaheim, and so far, the results have been fantastic.

While the Ducks would love to exact revenge on the Predators, Nashville isn’t going to be an easy team to take down. The Preds have a ton of momentum right now and Pekka Rinne is playing the best hockey of his career. However, Anaheim won’t go down without a good fight, as it proved against the Edmonton Oilers.
