First or Second 30 Minutes ? ... which team shows up tonight is the question
Even if the team from the first 30 mins shows up, is that enough to beat a goalie on his game? We can't expect Quick to be as off his game as Elliot was last game.

Quick has been almost as bad as Elliott thus far this season and has historically struggled against the Preds. He'll get back on track at some point and was good when we played them last Thursday, but I don't think it's a given that we'll be playing a Conn Smythe-level Quick tonight vs. the 0.897 SV% Quick. That said, if we only manage 15 shots, a 0.900 SV% is enough to win...
And where is the Kings GDT? I always like stalking the other team's thread (without replying) before the game.

We got 63.63 sv%, 8 GAA Elliot on Tuesday night. Generating 11 SOG in the first 29 minutes, 19 SOG overall did not meet our shooting average for the season.
If we get 20 SOG against a .900 sv% goalie, we're in a dogfight most nights based on our allowing two goals per game ... our giving up a goal while on the PK in 7 of 9 games just simple math.
Will Quick, Richards, and Carter be too drunk to play?
Word is they spent the night with Rads and AK, so the possibility is high.
Haven't been able to watch an entire game recently, just too much going on with me right now, but I love the way Willy has established himself as a legitimate top 6 forward. Was only a matter of time.
