[OOT] December 6 with eleven games!!

[thefoss1957]

In the 'Hawk/Preds game, Preds had no answer for Saad's speed...If Rinne wasn't stellar, it would have been a blowout...the 'Hawks made an effort to get Hossa going, 2 goals, one of the EN variety...'Hawks went with their #3 goalie in a game for 1st place in the Central, Q showing confidence in Darling, and in his team's D system...Not great rebound control , but, made enough stops...Fisher played a lot of minutes for the Preds, and looked solid, on the injury comeback trail...a lot of pace in the game, and a good, road, 3-1 win to jump to the top of the Central for my guys...

I remember exactly where I was when Gelinas beat Alex Auld in OT, for the series winning goal in 04. Seems like yesterday.

^^ me too. I remember it like it was yesterday but it seems like an eternity ago. Way too long since playoff success

Canucks biggest issue is going to be Miller. He's just not that good. He's 34 years old, he was crummy for the Blues last year and he's currently rocking the 37th best save percentage in the league this year.

Yup. Miller's save % is sinking fast. He's not even close to how good he was in his peak years in Buffalo.

He was flopping all over the ice last night.

Hawks are the best team in the NHL.

Their offense has woken up. They will dominate now.
