Preds Lose to the Blues
My Dad and I had great seats at the hockey game last night. We were 4 rows up from the glass, about half way between the penalty box and the goal. We could see everything really great, and had a lot of hits that bounced off the glass right in front of us. The game was not filled with fights but there were some really big hits throughout the entire game, and they got stronger and more frequent as the game went on and the players got more frustrated with no score.
What bothered me the most was that Chris Mason used to be out goalie and when he had a really good year he got a little greedy and ended up being traded to St. Louis. His replacement, Dan Ellis, is a good goalie, but not as experienced nor as skilled as Mason. The game last night turned out to be a war between the goalies. Mason turned away almost twice as many shots as Ellis did, and we lost the game in a shoot out at the end. So in my mind, last night’s game proved that Mason was indeed the better goalie and they deserved the win.
