Stanley Cup Finals game 1. LETS GO PREDS!

[Dawgpile]

Lots of adversity to overcome in the 1st. Toronto set the tone.

That's game time. I think the fact they came back will pay dividends. I doubt pekka plays this badly the rest of the series

Hopefully this game gives the Predators a little confidence because they were the better team for most of the game. First period was just a case of whatever could go wrong did go wrong. I mean the first Predator goal taken away on a very questionable offsides, a double penalty called to allow the Penguins to score a fairly easy goal on a 5 on 3, and then a Predator player scores for the Penguins on a play where the goalie blocks the shot and it ricochets off of him back into the goal. After that the Predators controlled the game but it was just a big hole to dig out of against a good team.
