It was good. Maybe I would feel differently if Ottawa won. I don't think so though.

The first period was amazing. The third was pretty great too. I thought the OT was bad though.

The OT owned very hard

Yeah but he is going to the SCF twice as a rookie.

I can't imagine there's very many instances of that happening,especially for a starting goalie

Neither team established much of a cycle, there were a handful of rushes but mostly the OT was like the game - a lot of chip and chase and neutral zone play, with some added breakdowns because of fatigue. The chances were clusterfucks in front of Ottawa's net, which obviously might bias me, but I didn't think the OT was all that good compared to other OTs we've seen.

psst you wanna do a communism?
Well I think I won this work weight loss challenge due to the stress of watching this game, well that and not drinking water and doing intense cardio for 30 minutes.

Anyway I need to mellow out before my hair turns grey, going to watch the platonic ideal of a good yinzer, and by that I mean the Mr. Rogers twitch marathon

I thought for sure Ottawa would win that on some crazy bounce or Karlsson play.

I was nervous throughout OT, even though the Pens were getting the lion's share of the chances.

But about 5-10 seconds into that zone time, I just knew they were going to score. I think this allowed me to not freak out and yell like I often do, which is a good thing since it's midnight and I live in an apartment.

Yeah me too, except that was about the 8th time in OT that I knew they were going to score

Three good offenses but no great ones. Their opponents in the Western Conference ranked 9th, 12th and 11th in the league in goals scored.

Interestingly the Penguins' three victims ranked 2nd, 1st and 11th in the league in goals allowed so Nashville is the weakest defensive team they have faced

e: Penguins were 1st in scored, 14th in allowed, Predators were 11th/16th. But Corsi likes the Preds quite a lot more and imo the Preds should be favored

I'll actually be very interested to see where the betting lines are on the SCF in the morning

Uh I guess if you're going by goals allowed but gently caress me if you're gonna call Nashville the weakest defensive team. They have the best top 4 in the entire league.

The Blackhawks, heh. Blues were ok too in the regular season.

Nothing like the Pens, no.

Yeah I edited my post to clarify that the Preds are a really good possession team this year. Worth noting that forwards are responsible for playing defense too, by "defensive team" I didn't mean just the defensemen, obviously the SCF is a gargantuan mismatch if you just look at the defensemen (but just as much so the other way if you look at the forwards)

Also if you focus in on his mask you can see his "please don't have gone in" look initially.

They have a little bit more size than the Pens but they are also built for speed and rely more on setting up and booming point shots. They have a similar style to a late 2000's Detroit with sloppier passing but much faster. Gonna be a good series.
