The Nashville Predators dropped their season opener, but one of their new stars will cherish the experience, regardless.
A 4-3 home loss to the Dallas Stars wasn't the start Steven Stamkos imagined with the Nashville Predators, but it was still a special experience for him.
Thursday night's season opener marked Game No. 1,083 for Stamkos, but Game No. 1 for a team not named the Tampa Bay Lightning. So even though the final result didn't go his way, the game will stick with him for a long time. “You hope in these situations you win, but you only get one first game with a new team,” Stamkos said,. “Would have much preferred a win, but it was a great atmosphere out there and a cool experience for my family and I.Stamkos, 34, was held off the score sheet in his Predators debut, but nearly became the hero of the game. In the final seconds of the third period, Stamkos ripped one of his classic one-timers from the left circle, the shot he scored on so many times in blue and white.
