Despite a win on Tuesday night, Nashville Predators coach John Hynes is sad that his club has been eliminated from the 2023 NHL playoffs.
The Predators were ousted from the last Central Division playoff place after a 3-2 shootout win against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night. The Winnipeg Jets' 3-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild propelled them into the last Wild Card spot.
"It was disappointing because of how it played out with the win against Calgary and the last 15-20 games where all the players fought to win games and stay in the race," Hynes told the reporters on Wednesday. "It's disappointing that we can't continue with two games left."
He also stated that the squad is taking a mental break and thanked a couple of the older players who took on leadership positions and mentored the younger players during the season.
"The leadership has been really good, and I think you have to credit the older guys in the lineup who have been here the entire time." (Ryan) McDonagh, Colton Sissons, Tyson Barrie, and Juuse Saros have all played important roles."
"There's been a lot of mentorship for the young guys about how to navigate through playing against the Carolinas, the intensity level of the schedule... how do you win at this level and what's going to give ourselves the best chance."
The squad travels to Nashville on Thursday and Friday for the final two games against the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
