wings are second only to us in coming from behind winning percentage this year, but they have never won a game when trailing 1-0 before the game starts in their entire history

Too funny - does anyone know if this is an NHL 1st, or has a game been postponed and picked up with some scoring play allowed?
Are there any restrictions on who can play? Does a player have to have been on the team or active that game?
it doesn't matter ... the Wing dings are missing Zetterberg AND Fischer ... no quarter shall be given or received ... btw the Preds lawyers are spineless ... they should have really worked harder to keep the game to 47:30 long
I am fully convinced that the Wings are going to take the opening face off and score right away and neutralize the 1-0 within the first minute. It's the Preds way to make things as difficult and gut-wrenching as possible.

Perreault will blatantly whiff on a defensive play, giving Datsyuk a clear lane to the net, where he waits for Vokoun to go down, drags it left and backhands it up and over.
A few minutes later, Perreault will score a goal after Sullivan puts an unbelievable, impossible pass on his tape...and Predator faithful will forget all about the blunder.
Meanwhile, Hartnell's skate will catch a groove, causing him to fall into a Wing player...pushing him into the boards. He's called for boarding, and immediately threads pop up on the other board calling for his immediate trade.
as much as I hate perreault, he does have 18 goals which is more than anyone but sully and he leads the league in FO%. I know a lot of his goals are "gifts" but he does know where to be for those gifts. He sure brings more to the table than arkhipuff did. Anyway, it pains me to semi-stand up for the guy but he does deserve a little credit.

I'm pretty ashamed of our effort. We laid over and made Tomas do everything. We got two goals in this game, but we only had 13 shots...Thank god for the extra goal.

Trotzy has said....a win is never bad.....this game came as close to bad as you can get and still walk away with 2 points.....that was highway robbery....outshot 19-3 in the 3rd and 41-15 for the game....pathetic.
All I can say is Vokoun was incredible.....the rest of the team should be apologizing to him tonight.
When they are calling ticky-tacky penalties like that, the Preds have to adjust their game....we'll get smoked tomorrow if we do that again.
The RedWing's forecheck is the most incredible in the NHL...totally threw us off our entire game. I am sorry to say this, but we are still not even in their league yet. A first line center won't do the trick either, but would certainly help.....I am afraid we are still going to get overpowered by them.
Oh well.....take the points, burn some incense to the hockey gods, and rest for tomorrow. I am afraid tomorrow will be just as painful to watch as tonight...
I hope the rest of the Preds are buying Vokoun a nice lunch tomorrow, sloppy play by the rest of the Preds in the 3rd, at least they blocked a few shots and none of the giveaways lead to anything.
I thought the Wings looked good, but Vokoun was hot, hot, hot.
