Last night's game had everything a Predator fan would want. There were more catfish on the ice than could be counted. There were two TV time out standing ovations. There was dominant Predator hockey followed by the Ducks tying the game twice only to have the Predators comeback to win on a goal by playoff veteran Mike Fisher. Fisher was only an assist away from a "Gordie Howe hat trick" as he had the goal and the fight squared away. What more could you want for the price of a ticket.
In summary, it was Predator hockey at its finest in front of a sold out Bridgestone Arena crowd of 17, 113 as the team is truly taking over the heart and soul of the sports fans in Nashville.
The Predators now have the chance on Wednesday night to win and take a commanding 3-1 series lead to Anaheim on Friday. A loss, and things are all tied up with the Preds needing to win two of the final three.
Anaheim will not practice on Monday but the Predators will be on the ice at Centennial Sportsplex at 11 a.m.
