Rob, thanks for joining the forum, and we will be happy to welcome
you to Nashville in a couple of months.

I was simply astounded at the Ducks' turn of events this year that
landed them in the finals, and I supported them all the way. It was
so disappointing to watch the surging team fall just a little bit
short.

How does the Ducks' run compare to the Preds' potential? Hmmm...

Well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad...

It probably won't happen in the upcoming season, because I'm quite
certain our owner will wait till after the new CBA to see how big a
check he will get from the large markets to pay for any necessary
talent upgrades.

But the Ducks' Cinderella story (ahem) does give us a little more
hope here in Nashville that it can happen. -NF
