Last night's game was a bit of a weird one. Now we all realize the S.O.G. stat can be a bit misleading at times & in this case - irrelevant. No shots for the Pens in 37 min. after that aberration of a first period & yet they score a game total (discounting the empty-netter) 4 goals on 10 shots!! It brings home the adage, "they were ahead in the only stat that is meaningful". The review & subsequent overturning of the Subban goal seemed to have a negative effect on the Preds. Neal's monumentally stupid penalty certainly didn't help their cause. They appeared to get their mojo back & played much better for the rest of the game. If the Pens play as they did last evening, this series ain't gonna be long & the Preds will be the new champs.
Cheers
JB
