yes, I'm sure if you win this year (or any of the next five), Nugent will have played a crucial role.
Let's look at those historical Preds post season games, and the crucial role the kickers have played.
2004, 2nd round, Predators lost to Bay Area Bloodsucking Insects 119 to 96.65, despite Jason Elam's 12.2 points.
2002, 2nd round, Predators defeat Hudson Valley Undead 118.55 to 73.6, thanks in no small part the Jason Elam's 4 points.
2003 1st round, Predators defeat Brain Dead Squirrel Chasers 163.95 to 139.9 behind Jason Elam's 13.7 points.
2003 2nd Round, Predators defeat Royal Hawaiian Opihi 169.65 to 89.95, behind Jason Elam's 7 points.
2004 1st round, Predators defeat Nittany Dodgers 170.25 to 123.15 with Ryan Longwells' 5.5 points playing a crucial role.
2004 2nd round, Predators lost to Wonder Mutts 156.1 to 109.05, despite Ryan Longwell's 11.2 points.
So what we see is that the kicker has not played a role whatsoever in the outcome of 6 post season games. Adam Vinatieri to the Patriots does not equal {insert kicker's name} to the Predators.
