The first period they were on there heels the entire period. The second both teams played pretty equal and the third was a mixture of the Kings playing horrible the first 9 minutes and then recovering and the Preds inability to take advantage of the Kings sloppy play early in the 3rd was costly. Smith, Forsberg and Arvy all three missed a chance to bury a rebound in the 3rd. Frosberg hit the iron, Smith missed the net as usual and Arvy was just froze looking at the puck as a King swiped the puck from right in front of him.
Despite all the negativity, we got 4 out of 6 pts on the road trip. Just get points doesn't matter if it is the loser point we need all we can get.
With no intent to be a wet blanket on the spirit of your post, if we had obtained the same 4 points with a regulation loss to ANA and a regulation win in LA it would have been much better. We would pretty much be locked for the playoffs. But the solid win is refreshing and can allow some optimism to creep back into the board for a few days. Of course between now and Monday I expect 98%of the discussion to be "ZOMG Saros should start every game now #!!!#1!"
At this point, I'm fully in favor of playing whoever we win with regardless of how significant a part of that victory they were. Give it to Saros til he loses, then go back to Rinne and so on.With no intent to be a wet blanket on the spirit of your post, if we had obtained the same 4 points with a regulation loss to ANA and a regulation win in LA it would have been much better.

Please do, so we can reap the rewards now while Vegas decides he's the guy for them.Is it just me or is Craig Smith looking really good lately? I feel like he will never score again but maybe it will even out and he will get, like, 15 goals in 15 games.

Not just you, it's just en vogue for him to be the permanent whipping boy at this point. Why do I doubt Arvy gets the same treatment next season if his production drops like a rock after signing an extension?
