LOL @ the bruins homer announcer saying tampa leads for the first time tonight (3-2)
I guess tampa scoring the first goal of the game never happened eh?
I still remember when he was ripping on MDZ for having a minus rating in his rookie year and as he was finishing his sentence, MDZ pulled a great move and scored
Great bounceback game. That was the exact opposite of how the Rangers played against Montreal. Solid defensive effort, strong play along the boards, and excellent goaltending from Hank. Having Dubi and Feds back definitely improved the forecheck and defensive zone play.
The Predators offense has been weighed, it has been measured, and it has been found wanting.
Seriously, good game by the Rangers. However, the Predators must have the most generic offense in the league.
As someone who watches the Predators a lot, you couldn't be more wrong. They do a lot of dump and chase, but they've got some really good players.
Erat, Fisher, Hornqvist and Wilson didn't really look like themselves tonight, although I chalk that up more to the Rangers D than to any lack of play on their part. We just shut them down.
The Penguins are playing lights-out, well, at least Malkin is.
Been looking forward to the Pengies match, good warmup for what should be the most anticipated NHL game of the entire week - Rangers vs. Bruins

I'll take your word for it. I probably see the Predators play 2 or 3 times a year at most. Good to hear!
Edit: mostly, I was just trying to say that they don't have a true top forward, lots of good guys in a good system. However, they will sooner or later have to get more juice up front.
