I had an in-depth intro completely written out for this recap. I was going to mention the Predators’ fast start — maybe their best period of hockey of the season — and gradual let-down as the game went on. I wanted to mention John Hynes’s first win as head coach and the series of small changes we noticed during the game. I also planned to talk about the Predators defense buckling down and playing tough in the last five minutes against a Blackhawks offense that was on fire in the last ten minutes of the game.
