Game 7: Predators @ Flyers (10-19-17 - 7e/6c)

Getting this one up early. We all know what a wild game these teams played last week, I wouldn't mind seeing another high scoring, entertaining game. When these teams met on the 10th, the Preds had come in having dropped their first two games on the road and looking for their first win. Since then they've been really good, losing just once (Chicago) despite a rash of injuries and still struggling with depth scoring and defense. 

 

Will post projected lines after morning skate tomorrow.

I think the Preds are going to get the angry Flyers this game. Anytime you put 4 goals or more up against Rinne, you should be a winner. Goal tending once again is the Flyers weakest part of the game but the defense(even MacDud included) have been playing outstanding. With the new found speed and balance across all 4 lines, the Flyers have become a joy to watch play again....'bout time.

First period was short, only 29 actual minutes. 

 

A lot of back and forth, turnovers each way contributed to that running clock. Goalies didn't even have a lot of chances to freeze the puck. The refs didn't help much either, admittedly the Predators got away with a handful of infractions, though they were able to easily kill the one PP opportunity that the Flyers did have.

Didn't really pay attention to the second while I was cooking/eating/cleaning for dinner. 

 

The Sissons goal was sweet, totally built on Fiala''s speed and quick moves. 

 

Then a bad penalty call on Salomaki which should have been embellishment on Patrick. But Simmonds makes up for it with a hilarious stick lift into outer space lol

Flyers offense came on stronger there in the third, but Pekka was perfect tonight. It wasn't a great game by either team, but for the Preds to go on the road and pick up their first win away from Nashville, it doesn't matter how it happens just as long as they're on the right side of the score. 

 

Interestingly, they beat the Flyers for their first home win and first road win this year despite only playing them twice.

I agree with you on the "wasn't a great game by either team"!  Your Preds were swarming the Flyers all night, not giving us much of anything though.  Amazing the difference between the two games.  

 

Congrats on your win!
