The Predators were on their way to an 0-3 start until they scored 2 goals in the final 2 minutes on consecutive 5 on 3 powerplays (one because of an offsides review by Philly gone wrong), and then they easily defeated everyone’s favorite to win the Central the Dallas Stars 4-1.
The Hawks were off to a pretty good start until they failed at an offsides review on Thursday night against the Minnesota Wild and they ended up being defeated 5-2 at home.
None of this matters to fans as the Chicago Blackhawks faithful will want to see pucks behind Pekka Rinne and Chelsea Dagger playing unlike anything that happened in April when the Predators swept the Hawks.
