Preds were outshot 10-0 at ES in the 1st period. EDM kept Preds to the wall the entire period, had several quality chances off centering feeds, but weren't able to connect due to EDM D controlling sticks and tying up guys.
Gotta play a more straight ahead, North-South game on the initial attack, get the puck and people to the net, make Khabibulin make saves and hopefully create some chances off of rebounds...
Smithson was dead on accurate in the intermission interview. Seeing better D zone structure tonight, but when reads are made, guys are slow to respond. Gotta communicate more amongst ourselves, go hard after loose pucks, finish checks, pin bodies, create turnovers, and go the other way...
