Made up with that. Thought the Preds shaded it in terms of scoring chances and puck possession, but our burst in the 3rd period was superb. We deserved that win, the Preds threw it away. Really pleased with our points scorers tonight. Mony with 2 points, Johnny with 2 points, another goal for Brodie, another assist for Gio, goal for Hudler. I felt that even Seto and Jones had decent shifts at times. We are in a good position at the moment, lets just hope Ferland is ok and that the dirty hit by Volchenkov receives the same punishment as the Burrows suspension. Nasty piece of work, probably still dizzy from Gaudreau tying him up in knots.
Speaking of Johnny, he is now starting to knit together consistent top level games. He is easily our most dangerous player and looks a threat every time he steps onto the ice. I would agree though(and it was mentioned earlier in the week by a poster on CP) about needing to maybe get McGrattan or Bollig to take a shift with Johnny if the opposition start taking cheap shots like what happened once or twice tonight. He is too talented a prospect for not just us, but for hockey in general to see him lost to a head injury or cheap shot into the boards. I'm sure Hartley has noticed the attention Johnny is getting, lets hope we have a response next time someone else tries something funny.
