Goaltending has been the main difference so far but probably the next biggest reason the Preds are down 0-2 is due to poor composure in both games. It was a brutal overturning of a goal to start the series but they still unravelled, totally lost their focus, and let three goals in the first period. Same tonight in that they were the better team through two periods but once the Penguins got that 2nd goal it was full meltdown for them. They need to have much better resolve if they are going to make a series of this and the leash needs to be really short on Rinne as this team needs a goaltender to make a save and not let in anything other than fully earned goals which has not been the case through two games.
