As it turns out it was Crosby telling PK that PK has bad breath !
Crosby & Pens are much better tonight.
Crosby's skills really showed taking the pass at the blue line perfectly & faking deking Peka R for the goal.
Nashville is getting AAA Plus goaltending.
Both teams want this game badly.
Under review ...over the line?
Yep a goal. Nashville 2-1
It literally could be 4-2 for the Pens if not for Rennie.
Game is not even 1/2 over so long ways to go yet.
Exciting game.
EDIT IN: game over 4-1 Nashville.
Yahoo!
Actually both teams skated hard & had chances.
Murray played average thus let in 3 goals ( 4th goal open net ) & on the other hand Rennie played "super" thus only let in 1.
Nice Mike Fisher birthday present.
If Rinnie can keep playing "super" & Preds keep skating hard they have a very very good chance to be champs in 2016/17. Best 2/3 now.
Pens are the defending champions & have the top prize & rings already.
To win it again will make this group & Crosby Malkin etc...into an extra special team / players...make it 3 Cups in recent years. But Nashville players & fans would be so disappointed not to hoist the Cup for the 1st time in their history. They have been a very hard working team thru the years & truly believe it is their time. Fisher is 37 today & time is running out.
Nashville winning it all is good for the NHL, good for the team & loyal loud fans.
Both teams have my respect as they really skated hard.
Series may just go to game 7.
Preds are going to try to avoid that by trying to get a W next game & then close it out in Nashville.
A game 7 would be super exciting though.
