It's really funny, watching that game last night. After those first two goals, I saw something - these guys weren't going to quit.
Anaheim was playing desperate, undisciplined hockey. The Preds were playing that historical workman-like game that they've been famous for for decades.
I lost a bit of hope when Fowler tied it up, but as soon as Sissons scored what would turn out to be his hat-trick goal, I knew - they weren't going to lose.
There were plenty of points during the first two periods that I'd have said, if you didn't know who was who, you'd laugh to find out it was the guys in white who were the team with all the playoff experience and two finals appearances.
When these two teams play in the regular season next year (oh, PLEASE, NHL schedule makers, make it opening night), I'd put the over-under at total combined PIM's at about 50.
Meanwhile: bring on the winner of PIT/OTT.
