Great game!! Everyone played well, no passengers. Great effort from every player!
Arvidsson and Wilson played great, both deserved goals for their efforts.
Jackman said the other day that they wanted to make a statement in this game in case LA was our first round opponent, and they sure did! From the beginning the Preds controlled the game, the Preds had more puck possession through the first 2 periods. The third started a little shakey, bit a great timeout brought momentum back, the team got back on track and Johansen's goal was the backbreaker.
I sat a few rows from the glass, and man, doughty never stops talking to the officials. Every time he was on the ice (does he ever leave the ice?), he was talking to a different official about something. He also stalls every faceoff a few extra seconds by talking to his teammates or standing in the faceoff dot before lining up.
