I think this series is an aberration. Nashville’s goaltending is keeping them alive. Their game plan to promote frequent stoppages in play, liberal use of icing, and solid defense are frustrating to a team that is one of the fastest and free flowing teams in the league. Our offensive rhythm has been disrupted by the slow methodical style Nashville plays with and our inability to get pucks through Saros is frustrating. I truly think if we could just get on the board early or get a two goal lead that would force Nashville to play with more tempo we’d see the team we watched all season come back. Unfortunately in the playoffs what we’re watching is a pretty common style and flow so we have to win ugly sometimes if we want to win the whole thing
