To point out the obvious, this was a trap game for the Preds. They played the hottest team in the West, San Jose, prior. They play Tampa tomorrow. They rested Phil Forsberg (then lost Arviddson and Hartnell in the second) and gave Eli Tolvanen his first NHL start thinking it'd be an easy win. The Sabres played great, but the Preds definitely gave a half-assed effort the first two periods.
Either way, I'm really happy with the win and with actually scoring some goals. And, I like that many of our best players on the night were youngsters. I have no problem with Housley's system... we just need the young guys to get experience in the system.
