Apr 27, 2012, 4:30 PM | Updated: 5:52 pm
The Phoenix Coyotes are battling the Nashville Predators
for the right to go to the Western Conference Finals in
the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Most expect it to be a hotly-contested series, as the
teams play similar styles and are both playing well of

Read on to find out.

Neither the Predators nor the Coyotes play in a

Nashville Predators,
Phoenix Coyotes build teams on strong goaltending
If there is one secret ingredient for a team in a
nontraditional market to succeed and thrive, the Predators
and Coyotes both have it.
History will be made in the next round. Not to imitate the
NHL’s old television commercial, but a team that has never
made the Western Conference Final will advance out of the
Nashville-Phoenix series.
