Congrats on the performance, Connor. Too bad the rest of your team was useless.

Yakov Trenin played a good game. If FF scored on the 5-on-3 instead of a post hit, Nashville wins that game.

Question now becomes: what to do with Saros? If he is good enough to play but not completely healed, do you remove Ingram and let Saros starts in hopes that he can do just a little bit better. I know it’s a small sample size but Ingram is sitting at 2.12 GAA and .952 sv% so it’s hard to improve on that.

Or do you leave Ingram out there and hope he doesn’t regress hard?

I would play Ingram in Game 3. Saros needs some practice time. The problems are on offense. Fix that versus what isn't broken.

Ingram has played 4 good periods in the playoffs. Hard to think that he does not get the start for game 3.

I read a Denver Post story that looks like it was written by a 5th grader. The short version is that Nashville is a bunch of goons (that is why they are #1 in penalties). Naz Kadri and Mason are heroes (and probably on the way to sainthood).

If you watch Colorado play you have to be impressed. Their players, both forwards and defensemen, are constantly moving and beating the Preds to loose pucks. Their power play defines both puck and player movement, while our Preds are basically static and predictable. I was totally impressed with Ingram last night as that game could easily have been more lopsided than the first game. Both our GM and Coach have a massive job to complete the "retool" that is necessary for this team. Unfortunately, I'm of the opinion that neither one of them is capable to accomplish the task.

I mean we are icing the Trenin, sissons, Jeannot line (wouldn’t call them goons but due to how much they hit I could see them getting that label from outsiders) and for some reason McCarron and Olivier… I don’t get why we’ve doubled up on big grinder lines against Colorado unless we are just trying to wear them out physically

I think it’s probably best to shelve Saros until he’s completely healed. It’s hard to do better than what Ingram has in these circumstances. Now if Ingram and Rittich get trounced on Saturday maybe game 4 becomes a Saros is our only hope moment but I don’t see the need to risk further injury

Physical play worked against the Avs in the regular season. They are out hustling us right now.

Let him heal completely, Av's have the second best record in the league and only lost 5 at home in regulation all year. Preds are going nowhere in the playoffs anyway so why risk further injury in a Hail Mary for a lost cause. We lost to Arizona, next to last in the league after getting up 4 to zero. Time for summer.

Not to mention he'd be coming in cold. I'd much rather just stick with Ingram at this point.
