f***ing piss poor effort from the start. Preds got what they deserved.
Edmonton came out flying at 2:00pm, ready to play. And they played hard all 60 minutes. They won about 90% of every puck battle. Preds didn't show up until about 4:30.
If it wasn't for Saros this could have easily been 10-0. And I don't feel like that is hyperbole at all today. He had virtually no help and was getting two and three shots at a time. I don't know where our defense was today. Besides falling all over themselves on the ice, that is. Edmonton was basically given a welcome mat to Saros's crease. Falling down, no communication, bad passing, brutal turnovers.
Edmonton's third goal was unacceptable. 7 seconds after we score.
This was a full team effort suck today. I hope they all get bag-skated tomorrow.
Filip is amazing. Besides the hattrick, his effort to prevent that empty net goal was incredible and reminiscent of Hornqvist. How he was only the second star of the game is BS. I don't care that we lost, he had a damn hat trick and we are the home team.
On a lighter note, I finally had a seat neighbor that would high-five after a goal, and he gave the hardest high-fives I have ever received. My hand was stinging for a few minutes after each one, lol.
I'm in Vegas and forgot to bet on the game, damnit.
count that as a win.
