Now that we're down to the final few games of the NHL regular season, we get that sneak preview of what the intensity of the Stanley Cup playoffs brings, as teams on the brink of making the post-season (or not) struggle mightily for every point they can earn.
After falling behind 4-0 in the second period, the Nashville Predators made a spirited comeback to tie the game in the 3rd, before giving up a goal to Brent Seabrook to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 5-4 win.
Somebody put a beat-down on Seabrook, m'kay?
