Windy City vs. Music City: Preds vs. BHawks

[fromthetop2]

Despite posting 100 points (which would be good enough for third in the East), the Preds fall to the 7th slot and take on the Chicago Blackhawks (#2 seed). Preds haven't played them since Dec. 27 and the Hawks have given them a tough time the last few years. Blackhawks played in the conference final last year vs. Detroit, so they are playoff tested and have a legitimate shot at being in the Stanley Cup.

 

This is a tough draw for Nashville, for if they win this series, they go up against their nemisis San Jose in the next round.

Toews and Kane are thorns in the Preds side, but we've got a hot goalie which seems to be THE key ingredient in advancing in the playoffs. My goal is to take it to seven games, with us finally winning a road contest. If we happen to knock them out, then a major accomplishment can be added to our resume. That being said, we're going to have to find some offense, swarm the net, and keep their forwards from taking over the game in our end.

 

Thoughts????

The equalizer...Pekka Rinne. He was the best player on the ice last nite. We win our first road game....We play a strong 3rd. While we bend, we don't break. We frustrate the other team, the more talanted team.

 

It's good to be a Predhead.
