The biggest surprise of the first round of the playoffs so far has been the Nashville Predators sweeping their way past the Chicago Blackhawks.

 

Chicago won the season series 4-1 and outscored Nashville 20-13, but the Hawks only managed to score three goals in the four game sweep.

Saturday, Stan Bowman addressed the media as well as players and coaches, and Patrick Kane explained the interesting reason why he's "kind of" hoping the Predators don't win the Cup.

We told you the reason was interesting and Kane will obviously get some hate from fans out there for it, but he's just explaining how he feels and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

At this point, Predators fans and other hockey fans probably don't care about his opinion as Nashville is moving on and Chicago is going golfing due to the fact that Pekka Rinne had the same number of points and shutouts in four games as Kane did points.

The Preds await the winner of the Blues and Wild series, which could end Saturday.
