In his defense, the second goal was impossible to stop, the third was an own goal, and the fourth was a good shot while Rinne hadn't made a save in 37 min. That was just one of the strangest games I've ever seen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Yeah weird one for sure. Hate bitching about refs but the wrongly disallowed goal just deflated the game and killed all the momentum the Preds had. They didn't recover till the 2nd period and the damage was already done.

Brodeur was the best at making the big saves when it counted when the Devils were smothering the opposition back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2 0 5 5 Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 The disallowed goal looked like the right call to me. Looks as if skate is off ice before puck crosses blue. Even if it was shown in that 1980 colored replay film. Pens have a precedent this postseason in winning games that they were outplayed in. Pretty sure that was the storyline after the first couple games against the Caps. I don't understand the thought process behind trading a SCF win with the team who lost? You guys are nuts...

The Preds just owned possession and probably should've won this one. The Preds will win the series if they keep up this level of play. Eh, I'll take getting outplayed and still winning the game in the SCF any day. It's not the most desirable way of winning, that's for sure, but getting that W is all that matters now. The Preds can win the series if they keep their play at the same level as last night, but if the Pens raise theirs to match, I'm not so sure Nashville will be able to keep pace scoring. Regardless, it's going to make for some very interesting hockey, and it's a toss-up imo as to who will win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly because I have faith that if the gameplay stays the same, the Predators will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see the Pens playing that poorly again but at the same time I like to think that Rinne won't play that bad again either. Think Game 2 will be huge as to the outcome of the series, do not see the Preds coming back from down two games to zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the stats just now, and I could've sworn the Preds had way more than 26 shots on goal with the amount of time they had the puck. As Jabronius said up thread, it was just such a strange game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have the same faith that we'll put up more than 12 shots next game. One poor game doesn't condemn a team to play that way the rest of the series. Therefore, I'll take a win and be 3 games closer to a cup than foolishly asking for a loss just because the other team had a better overall game. Playing a better game doesn't count worth a shit if you don't score more than the other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfella Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 There have been so many momentum shifts for the Pens, good and bad, in game and between games, during this playoff season that I don't feel safe with any lead. They have a habit of letting their foot off the gas. While it would be very nice to go up 2-0 tonight, that would in no way be insurmountable for Nashville if they can string together an overall level of performance similar to game 1, especially if Rinne is back in the zone.

They are historically bad at letting leads up. Preds have some scorers which makes that a bad combo for the Pens. I think Pens pull out the win again tonight due to our depth and solid play from Murray. When it comes down to it, we have 4 lines that can put the puck in the net.

Jabronius Maximus Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Malkin is the first player in 8 ytears to score a goal and get a fighting major in a SCF game. The last player to do so? Malkin. I love funny stats like these. Also a "Malkin hat trick" needs to be a thing - a goal, fight, and a stupid fucking penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Heard on the radio this morning that Rinne is now 0-7-2 lifetime against the Pens. Have to think it's in his head at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Yeahhh it's a tough call for Lavy but i'd start Saros the rest of the way. Pens were better last night, makes that game 1 loss sting all the more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
