Despite some of our boys having awful games, and the powerplay being frustrating, our boys dominated the preds. They can do this without Demko!

Maybe if any of our star players can score a single goal

Losing that game in such a demoralizing fashion, where we poured as much offensive pressure on the opposition as I’ve ever seen in a hockey game, is leading to selective memory. Demko’s injury isn’t helping with the negative pattern-seeking habituation either.
People are giving far too much credit to the Predators’ defense. Yes, they fearlessly put bodies in shooting lanes, and blocked a lot of shots. But that’s it. They didn’t have an effective forecheck, or make zone entries difficult for us. They passively let us set up, and didn’t stop us from getting high danger scoring chances.
Many of those high danger chances were as terminally cloae to a goal as you could possibly imagine.
Petey hitting the side of an empty net.
Petey saucing it to Garland instead of firing on an empty net, and that saucer being airborne slightly too long for Garly to tap it in.
Suter putting the rebound an inch too low and getting pad.
Suter barely missing the redirect on an empty net.
Suter straight up missing a tap-in rebound on an empty net.
Joshua having all the room in the world to put the rebound home, but tripping and jamming it into the post.
That game was the textbook definition of losing to bad puck luck. The chances of Nashville winning like this over a seven-game series are abysmal. I haven’t lost any confidence in this team.

I think when a team is down and pushing and the other team just collapses and blocks any shot and tries to hang on to the lead it’ll show this. The key will be to play with the same intensity and attention to detail from the start of the 1st on Friday.
