The Morning After Round-Up: Predators 4, Leafs 1

Last night's Nashville Predators win over the Toronto Maple Leafs was not pretty to watch but was a necessarily evil in the long slate of 82 games that make up the NHL regular season.

After watching a game on Tuesday against Washington that had to make most folks top ten Preds' games, the game with the Leafs was very ugly by comparison. The first period was dull as dirt, the second a little better, and the last period had several fairly entertaining aspects to it.

Brian McGratten's fight was outstanding and Craig Smith's "miss" was a heart-breaker for the kid but was like a train wreck where you couldn't keep from wanting to watch.

The bottom line was the "W" and the two points that the Predators needed. Here is our game story from last night and Barry Trotz's postgame presser. We also had a couple of clips of Craig Smith's missed empty netter.
