Not a great 1st period, but can't complain about coming out of it 0-0. You knew Detroit was going to come out strong and try to get out front early, and we managed to weather that. Now if we keep this up another two periods...
In a period of subpar performances, Bouillon still managed to stand out with some pretty shaky play.
why must there be 10+ penalties called in every game?
Other than the fact that the Predators have won 2 of 3, this is one of the worst series i've ever watched simply because there's a minor penalty being called every few minutes.
We can mutually agree on that. Wings fans are saying the same on my board...
The fact that this game is still 0-0 is amazing and a total victory for the Preds despite playing like a mite team out there. In my opinion, Pekka's best games almost always come when he is barraged early like tonight. Hopefully he continues the trend. Go Preds!

I can't believe he didn't pass that puck to Erat. I know most of us are screaming for the Preds to shoot more often, but the passing lane was wide open and I'd rather have Erat take that shot than Cube.

I'm ok with a shot from him there, though I agree about rather seeing Erat with it, but 'Good God man, learn how to take a wrist shot!' Beyond that, some pretty bad giveaways and holds he couldn't make.
Miller is playing a bit dirty around the crease, someone needs to clear him out. Most of Detroit's players are trying to get extra whacks at Rinne and such. We need to start clearing that crease and take it to them.
For a team that is constantly praised for being full of good skaters, and having good team speed, the Preds certainly don't appear to have that extra gear when they need it for a breakout. Bourque is the only one with consistent hustle when presented with opportunities.
