I'm just going to give Preds Dmen credit and move on. We put up 5 goals, but there was some really nice stickwork from Josi and others that cut passes that could've really turned into goals easily enough on the odd-man rushes.
Hughes had about as bad a game as I've seen him play. Zacha made some nice plays but there were some ewww passes there too. Blackwood wasn't good. Defense was its typical awful, all over the ice - just weird decisions and terrible coverage.
I'm not sure why folks are hating on Wood all the time - he's actually put together a few good games there and he's really the only guy who consistently gets to the front of the net, and who consistently pushes the defense back on rushes a few times a game. At only 22 yrs old, I think if he finds a soft landing place on the right line - he's going to be a big asset along the lines of Tom Wilson someday.
