Kevin Allen: Six things the Predators must do to make playoffs Predators seem poised to make the playoffs for a six consecutive time.

1. Win every, or almost every, remaining game.

That was easy.

You gave me a chuckle. I think 9-5 could get them in, or 10-4 for sure.

Preds make the playoffs if Buzztron predicts them to lose all remaining games.

So basically the Preds have to do all the things they haven't been able to do for the first 60+ games this season... Great... I would settle for any kind of production from our top guys at all... Forsberg's struggles are particularly perplexing... The effort is still there, but the results just aren't. Nothing here I didn't already know, but it's interesting to see when other people notice what Preds fans have been seeing all season.

Strange: the underlying numbers suggest the two most damaging aspects to this team this season have been goaltending and coaching.

If you have a means to access The Athletic, Justin Borne has an article today (about 'effort') that PERFECTLY summarizes the Preds up to this point in the season. IMO, the entire team was playing exactly like he described (i.e. the way he played). Personally, I've been calling it 'arrogant hockey' and I HATE it (you can ask my 11yr old all about it). Plus, Pekka has been pretty awful

Nah, read Borne's article .. though Pekka is a pumpkin now, I agree

Since John Hynes replaced Laviolette, the Predators are 15-11-1 for a 60.7% winning percentage.

Winning 15 out of 27 is not a 60.7% winning percentage. It's not even a 60.7% points percentage.

I don't know where you are getting your numbers, but you need start getting them elsewhere.
