MacK’s hands were so fast that they hypnotized Pekka. You can’t hear it in the gif but MacK is actually saying “watch my hands, not around the hands, not the puck, but just my hands...” that whole time until Rinne was putty in his hands
Eh everyone keeps giving Pekka grief but he was moving with the play and doing what he was supposed to do. Ellis meanwhile decides he needs to flop on a weak hit as Rinne takes his legs out moving with the play.
That whole ending, including the 6 on 5, has had me chewing steel and spitting fire since last night.
You saw last night what we have watched all year, a bunch of talented guys who think they only need to try for about 15-20 minutes to win a game. It's the reason Preds fans are hot as fire right now.
People want to act like Hammond was great, but outside of a couple of scrambles and a couple of break aways we didn't really force him to do anything but catch the puck. Even on the scrambles nothing was elevated, we just smacked the puck into his legs 3 or 4 times. I give the guy credit for stopping what he did, but frankly, they made it pretty easy.
TBH I kind of hope Colorado wins the series, these guys dont deserve it from a work ethic/heart perspective.
