NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) β Peter Laviolette has delivered the first piece of the job the Nashville Predators gave him by hiring him as only their second head coach.
Now his task is even bigger.
Deliver a deep postseason run, and maybe a championship to Music City.
Captain Shea Weber says the Predators are excited with the playoffs and the chance to experience the postseason with a new coach. He says they all are working toward their goal of a Stanley Cup.
The Predators hired Laviolette to get them back to the postseason where he has had so much success. Laviolette now has taken four different teams to the playoffs, winning the Stanley Cup in 2006 with Carolina and taking Philadelphia to the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals.
