That was the best game so far of these playoffs

Maybe you were entertained but that was a badly played hockey game by both sides as far as mental lapses go. There were constant breakdowns all over the ice and watching the Preds get 10 shots through 2 periods is not that exciting. There was a ton of drama in the end though....

Can't agree with you here... same push that Ovechkin did on Campbell.  The standard has been set with Ovechkin, 2 games minimum has to be imposed.  However, it was one hell of a game, Nashville blew it.

Giving up game tying goal with 14 seconds left was very Marty like.......... ||an_police.gif' border=0>

but
It never should have come down to that.......

Nashville had a man advantage, and should not have pressed play the last minute. They had control in the Hawks end, and a Pred pinched down below the circle, allowing the Hawks to rush up ice with numbers.

Preds should have circled back out of the zone, wasted time in the neutral zone and then either dumped puck back into their end or dumped puck into Hawks zone and set up a neutral zone trap

Nashville blew a big chance to go up 3-2 in the series very lax play on the game tying goal, chicago should not have hada chance if nashville played that right and just cycled the puck, Erat made a big mistake just throwing it out front. Nonetheless the game had an exciting finish.

THAT was the SHOCKER for me watching that finish in regulation.

for a Barry Trotz coached team, that is usually VERY disciplined, it was VERY uncharacteristic for the Predlies players to selfishly try to tack on another goal and end up giving the Bhawks that counter. I expected them to just bury it deep and not even try a shot or play "center ice shinny" and make the Bhawks chase.

has to be THE the dumbass play of the 1st round.

And now with Wings losing today and Sharks always on the edge of a cliff, how nice would it look for Preds to have won that game.... possibly moving on and Wings might be out
