NASHVILLE, Tenn. — They arrived in Nashville looking for one victory and once they got it, the Blackhawks got greedy.
And why not? Taking a 2-0 lead on the road in a best-of-seven series goes a long way toward a short postseason round.
"Definitely, when you win the first one you always want to get that second one to try to take control," Hawks center Brad Richards said. "It wasn't meant to be."
No, it wasn't. Not at all.
The Predators sliced and diced goaltender Corey Crawford and the Hawks 6-2 in Game 2 of their best-of-seven playoff series Friday night at Bridgestone Arena.
