Predators Can't Quite Can the Canucks


Our friends, the Suttles, gave us their tickets and great seats to the Predators vs. Vancouver Canucks hockey game on Thursday night. Vancouver has Roberto Luongo,one of the best goalies in the NHL.

Maybe this Predator found the only way to beat Luongo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Preds had more shots on goal than the Canucks and sent the game into overtime. It was a very exciting game and was still tied 2-2 after overtime so the game went to a shoot-out. Then Luongo completely shut out the Preds on the shoot-out. Luongo has a different style of defending goal on shoot-outs than the Preds goalie Chris Mason. Luongo comes out several feet from the goal and challenges each scorer. He's aggressive and it works. By coming forward he seems to take away some of the angles.
I wished the Predators had won but it was a very exciting game. It was awesome to be so close to the action.
