The Coyotes and Predators aren't the sexiest teams in the NHL, but their second round playoff series should be entertaining nonetheless.
The Nashville Predators made relatively easy work of the Detroit Red Wings in the first round of the 2012 NHL playoffs, and in Round 2, they'll travel to face a team that did the exact opposite with their first round opponent.
Sure, the Phoenix Coyotes needed six games to dispatch the Chicago Blackhawks and were never in danger of losing control of the series, they won the series with three overtime wins, aided by Chicago netminder Corey Crawford in two of them. Can Mike Smith lead Phoenix to the Conference Finals, or will Nashville be too much to handle?
