The Preds really supported Rinne in the first two games, played great defensively, were attacking/going after that puck and bodies, stealing the puck, and not letting the Ducks come in easily to their end of the ice or getting set up. Going to need to get back to that also if they want to be successful. Imo they need to attack the Ducks bodies and puck more on the blue line cause the Duck are getting across the blue line pretty easily these last two games compared to the first two games and are doing a better job of keeping the puck in. Feel we are giving them too much time and space and not doing a better job of keeping the puck away from them. They need to make it difficult for them to even get the puck in let alone keep the puck in kind of how they are doing to us now, which is why we are having difficulty scoring not to mention the fact that they are doubling teaming/containing our best players alot better now and not giving us much time and space and are getting better goal tending.
Think we should change our lineups on our bottom lines to make it more potent/dangerous seeing how the Ducks have been containing our top lines these past two games, especially w/ Smith being out in order to help w/ our scoring chances.
Also because our top/best players are being targeted/guarded better we are going to need our other players that normally don't score/shoot the puck to shoot the puck and start generating goals instead even if it is greasy goals. Think Johansen and Ribiero need to start shooting the puck more themselves cause the Ducks are tying up Neal, Forsberg, and Roman Josi.
