Either way, both are incredible upset stories. I would actually argue that the Panthers upset trumps the magnitude of what the Predators pulled off, even though the Predators did get a sweep while the Panthers won in seven. A team that put up an NHL record 135 points, surpassing the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens. Seems very similar to how most felt about the Panthers’ chances heading into the first round against the mighty Boston Bruins.
The momentum heading into the postseason was zero and you had to find the most confident, and maybe delusional, fan to find any kind of confidence that the Predators were going to get past the first round. In all five of those losses they managed to score just one goal. The 2017 squad had just 94 points in the regular season and actually lost five of their last seven games. That would come the following season with a President’s Trophy and a franchise record 117 points. In case you forgot, the Predators were no darlings of the regular season that year.

So as a Nashville Predators fan, you can’t help but reminisce about that improbable run that team made in 2017 after sweeping the top-seeded and dynasty Chicago Blackhawks in the first round, and winning a pair of series in six games over the St. The only other two teams to be the lowest seeded team entering the Stanley Cup Playoffs to actually reach the final are the 2021 Montreal Canadiens and the 2017 Nashville Predators.
