I thought Doumolin has been really good this series but he's been paying a huge price nearly every time he touches the puck, It seemed to me that as the game wore on last night I heard his name less and less... I didn't think I heard Daley's name a whole lot either, those guys have been up against it the whole tournament I wonder if the grind is getting to them. Considering that they've already gone through Columbus, Washington and Ottawa, all of which played a very physical game against the defense, it been taking its toll for some time now. With the lack of Letang, the Pens defense pins and protects the puck instead of trying to move it quickly. This has left them open for loads of big hits.

nossagog Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Well the slow defense looks like its finally caught up to the Penguins this series. Way too much time being spent trying to get the puck out of their own zone by defenseman who can skate of simply clear the puck. The Preds will continue to go after them hard. Murray is going to have to stand on his head if the defense keeps this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nossagog Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Another lopsided game for the home team tonight. Didn't expect it this game, but I'll take it. Gotta be the end for Rinne for Conn Smythe, but if the Preds DO win games six and seven, who would get it? Special shout out to Kunitz tonight who played a great physical game tonight and made the Preds defense pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact rather than Bettman present them the Cup Rinne might as well do the presentation as he has practically handed it to them anyway in the games the Preds have lost.

Rinne must have nightmares about playing in Pittsburgh. He has a career save percentage of .822 in Pittsburgh while allowing 24 goals on 135 shots. Yikes.

nossagog Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Didn't realize Sissons received a match penalty for the crosscheck to Maatta's nose at the end of the game. NHL will probably review that and rescind the automatic one game suspension. But you never know with the DoPeS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I expect a Nashville win for Game #6. Throughout this entire playoffs this year, the team that was on the short end of a blow out has come back to win the next game. I see a 4-2 Preds win in Nashville for Game #6. I believe there will be a Game 7 in Pittsburgh and Rinne is going to have to learn how to win on the road in Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to me that part of the Pens' game plan was to throw the Predators' physicality back at them. The Predators didn't seemed to handle it well. They need to keep it up in Game 6 or we'll be coming back home 3-3. If I were a betting man, I'd bet Rinne bounces back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both coaches have been able to take advantage of matchups. Doesn't bode well for the Preds in a Game 7 - especially if Rinne keeps up his Pittsburgh Flu. On the plus side for you guys, they'd win the Cup in Steeltown. Been a great series to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100% on the match-ups though if Ryan Ellis misses Game 6 that will put a big dent in the Predators D and match-up plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
