The Habs are gone, so that means the Bitter Bandwagoner Habs fan has returned. That means I’ll be writing TSMs for whichever games I happen to watch. Tonight’s match up is Ducks vs Predators.
Oh God I’ve missed P.K. Subban.
First Period
- All of the Ryans. All of them.
- So many whistles in the first two minutes.
- SILF STRIKES FIRST!!! #DucksFlyTogether/

- Ouch. That looks like it hurt. Well, Ellis seems fine, so maybe not.
- PING
- Oh dear…Nashville is absolutely controlling the puck…
- Or oh good, depending on who you’re rooting for.
- Shots are 11-1 for Nashville, but Anaheim leads 1-0! WHEEEEEEEE!!!!
- All of the turnovers. You might want to stop that, Anaheim, it’s gonna…/

- …bite you. sigh
- Just about four minutes left in the period, and that may just been the first really sustained pressure the Ducks have had all night.
- This series is going to get nasty before its over.
- Yeeahhh, Anaheim’s gonna get eaten alive./
Second Period
- Well, boo. Oh dear. Off an Anaheim skate.
- Oh geez. Shots are 20-10 right now for Nashville…
- Dang this series is way more physical and intense than any of the other series so far.
- Every chance in front of a net turns into a scrum. Talk about playoff intensity.
- OH MY RINNE.
- Boll goes BOOM./

- Anaheim definitely evening things up a bit here, play wise. A very little bit.
- Wow!!! Gibby!!!! He’s looked much better as the game has progressed.
- Hahahahahahahha. Shots are 32-17 Preds. This is a bit not good./
Third Period
- So…this series might already BE nasty.
- All of the hits. All of the blocked shots. ALL of the slashing and hacking, and nastiness. Totally different character from the Pens/Caps game, or Habs/Rangers, etc.
- Anaheim really needs to capitalize on this power play…
- AAAAARGGGGG.
- HAMPUS. TIE GAME./

- Oh Getzy…why this.
- WHAT a shot by Ekholm, but Gibby makes the stop.
- Oh geez. KILL the puck over the glass penalty. Kill it with fire.
- I’ve missed watching P.K. wind up like that on the point on the power play. Pretty stellar kill by Anaheim though.
- GIBBY. the crowd is on their feet in appreciation./

- By the by, there may be some empty seats still, but the Honda Center is ROCKING.
- Big power play opportunity for Anaheim…
- …which comes to nothing.
- Josi is so good though. Wow.
- Anaheim with a determined effort in the dying seconds of regulation, but Rinne somehow keeps the puck out!!
- To OT we go!!/
OT
- As everyone is pointing out, Anaheim played game 7 less than 48 hours ago. The faster they end this, the better.
- The Ducks are certainly playing with urgency in the early going.
- But Nashville answers right back.
- Ouch Montour got hit HARD.
- The pace has definitely settled down a touch.
- SUBBAN TO NEAL. /
