Paul McCann: The GBU - Game One in the Books

I would say the ugly was our offensive attack, horrible zone entry and the lack of crisp passing. They seemed as a whole a little off at the offensive game.... get that going while still playing smart defensive hockey and we can keep rolling foward.

Maybe the first Game One road win. But I know they beat Detroit in Game One in round one when the Preds won in five.

Completely confused by that statement. We won game 1 and 2 out in Anaheim last year.

I agree the offense was rough last night but the defense really cleaned up a lot of messes and stuck to the hawks. However, if we are going to continue to play that style, we have to do a better job of breaking out of the zone!

The good: Pekka
The bad: sustained offensive pressure
The ugly: Jarnkrok not shooting the puck. I thought that was the mistake Chicago was waiting for.

I am afraid to even think this but how great would it be coming home up 2-0?

I doubt it will happen, but its certainly not unpossible

Last nights game reminded me of the Preds against Arizona where we dominated
offensively but couldn't solve Smith.
I kept wanting to say "do you believe in miracles" last night and
finally was able to. It sure seemed to me like they wanted Chicago
in the first round and maybe this is why. Rope-a-dope is our strategy?
WOW
