Inexperienced Predators anxious to win Lombardi Trophy

The Preds can't wait to carve their names all over this.

NASHVILLE—After taking a 2-1 series lead against the Anaheim Ducks Sunday, the Nashville Predators have their eyes set on the prize—the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

“I know we’ve never won a playoff series, and most of these guys have barely played in the post season” said long-time Pred Steve Sullivan, “But we can feel it. This is the year Lombardi comes to Nashville.” Sullivan said with a glimmer in his eye.

The Predators await the sweat-stained, salty taste of victory. Dreaming of a celebration at centre ice, no longer necessary, gloves and sticks are thrown down like swords and shields after the battle. Confetti rains down. Photographers and media members rush in, blanketing the ice in a mesh of fabric, looking to get a glimpse of the Predators basking in Lombardi’s golden glow.

Suddenly a primal scream pierces the air, “I’m going to Disney Land!” a grizzled, trophy-holding Shea Weber shouts at the sky. And in this moment, the Nashville Predators know it was meant to be.
