GTFO. The guys on HNIC said the previous low was 13. They screwed me!

They said 12 SOG was the least amount of shots on goal by a winning team.

Ahhhh! Ok. Thanks for the clarification.

So, once again Pittsburgh snatch the victory, with a 4-1 win over the Predators! Pekka Rinne was pulled this time, and the series now goes to Nashville with the question of who Laviolette will decide to play. The last time a team won the cup after losing the first 2 games was Boston in 2011.



Well, now we've got the exact reverse of game 2!

This is a good result. One more for Nashville, and it's going to start looking really interesting again. I'm also glad Rinne got a good game again, it would really suck if Nashville got to the finals thanks to him, and then he completely failed at the finals. Was looking a bit scary with some of the goals he let through in the earlier games.



I totally missed the game tonight. Looked like a good one.

Come on Wild- don't be a disappointment like every other minnesota team

Dammit.

 

This season has been pretty wild. With it being 2-1, it can easily shift to anyone's advantage



And with a 4-1 victory by Nashville, the series is now tied 2-2 going back to Pittsburgh!! Four different Predators scored to secure the victory, and Pekka Rinne ensured that no more than one goal would be let in! It's now anyone's game! Who do you guys think will take game 5?

Nashville has been better by far in all of the games, aside from two really bad moments in the first two games, so at this point I'm expecting Nashville to take the cup. That  said, if Pittsburgh gets a good start, it could still win. All it takes for the Penguins to get back in is Rinne having a bad game again, because they've sure had a lot of good opportunities that were just denied by Rinne.
