It was a do-or-die game three for the Predators; Lose and go down 3-0 or win and bring the series within one game of being tied. Nashville's weapons showed up. So did its special teams play. Outside of a couple potential set-backs, this was a near-perfect game by the Preds.
Nashville needed to be desperate in game three. They needed to dig deeper than they had in games one and two to find a way past San Jose, trying to even up the series during the home-stand.
If this is what the Predators look like as a desperate team, than they need to play that way for the remainder of the playoffs.
