[Paranoid Android]

Saw in the main board thread that the Toews/Kane era Blackhawks are 12-3 in games they have a chance to eliminate an opponent.

AKA the era immediately following absolutely incompetent hockey worse than anything our franchise has ever seen which led them to those players.

I'm just emotionally drained right now. Really bummed out.

I believe he was referring to Chicago actually.

We already knew this but it's interesting to see a lot of the goals all in the same place:

Crazy to think that if we could have held on to a 3-0 lead in game one and finished in 3OT, we'd be moving on. Either/or and we're up 3-2 with a chance to finish them. This series could have gone either way.

And it still can. But I really believe we witnessed the turning point last night. Goalie no longer bullet proof and Fisher back to balancing the lines with his vet presence and grit.

as good as last night felt, we are still trying to thread a needle and draw to an inside straight.

No room for error, cannot have one bad period or Rinne have an even average night.

However, contrary to erroneous broadcast and media reports over the last 24 hours, he did not suffer an ACL injury.

Yep. Chicago does not want any part of a game 7 here. The Preds have a chance, but they need to really bring their best complete game - a bad 2nd period lull again and this series will be over.

Well, guess that's 12-4 now..... let's see if we can move that needle over to 12-5 now.....

I was freaking out when Miller said that last night. I was thinking crap, not only is he out for the playoffs, he's also likely out for a pretty good chunk of next season.
