Did we really expect the Chicago Blackhawks to fall to 0-3? If there was a game where the odds were stacked against Nashville, this was the game. But even after falling behind 0-3, the Preds didn’t just roll over; they made Chicago fight for each of their two points, in large part to a hat trick by Richard Panik.
However, in the end, Chicago walked away with their first victory while Nashville suffered their first loss. After a season-opening victory against the Blackhawks, Preds Nation was riding high, so how did the world of social media handle the first loss of the young season?
Nashville Falls Behind 0-3
Had high hopes for Mazanec but we need Pekka, like 12 mins ago… #NSHvsCHI
