NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Devoid of flow or rhythm, and peppered with missed opportunities and wasted chances, the Stars' 2-1 overtime loss in Nashville during Game 2 on Saturday night won't be known for its beauty.
It'll be remembered for the penalties -- 11 in total. It'll be remembered for the playoff-level animosity -- for Craig Smith's sucker punch, for Ben Lovejoy's crosschecks, for Roope Hintz laughing in the face of P.K. Subban's jabs. It'll be remembered for an inability to create offense at even-strength.
But most of all, Game 2 will be known for Nashville tying the first-round at 1 with the Stars.
