After sweeping the Chicago Blackhawks and defeating the St. Louis Blues in stride, the Nashville Predators continue their battle to the top against the Anaheim Ducks in the Western Conference Finals. They we're the most positive meetings I've been a part of in two or three years but you still have to scrutinize and examine parts of the their specific game that have to be improved.
Forsberg scored the tying goal for the Predators in their 2-1 win against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final at Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday. Johansen said he didn't know how Kesler plays like that - repeatedly poking him in the groin with his stick - with family and friends watching. Johansen had a goal and an assist, but Kesler's well-known style of physical play already has burrowed under his skin.
"That's playoffs written all over it", Predators forward Colton Sissons said Monday. "They came hard. They had their push. We got better as the game went on".

"There's a lot of things to like but it's just one game", Boucher said. Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said he hadn't heard or read Johansen's complaint about Kesler but defended his 24-year-old center. "He'll be ready to play".
Roman Josi, Predators - Josi is tied with fellow defenseman Ryan Ellis with 10 points in these playoffs, second in the National Hockey League behind Erik Karlsson.

China's new passenger planes pose no immediate threat to Western aviation companies such as Boeing and Airbus. COMAC said at the time it had been aiming for first flight in 2016.
Just two days after surviving Edmonton, the Ducks had to face Nashville in an early-starting game - and they were promptly outskated and outclassed for long stretches by the well-rested Predators. "So hopefully it is working".
I would expect both teams to try to clean up some of the defensive miscues that took place in the first two games of the series as the scene shifts to Nashville for Games 3 and 4 this week. Johansen drew assists on the first two goals in Game 1, a 3-2 overtime win for the Predators, and has 13 points in their 12 playoff games.
Goalie Pekka Rinne continued his solid postseason by holding the Ducks scoreless over the final three minutes en route to the Preds 2-1 victory, giving them a similar 2-1 series lead over Anaheim.
Corey Perry got the Ducks out to a 1-0 advantage in the second period.
Halfway through the period, the Ducks did what they do best and created havoc in front of the Nashville net. He was pulled from the game by head coach Randy Carlyle just 8:25 into the game. But for the first 20 minutes, it was as if the players' skates were stuck in quicksand. "They'll have a pretty big crowd, obviously".
This was the night the Nashville Predators grew up, the moment they showed enough perseverance and maturity to forever shed their reputation as being a nice little team that always lacked some ingredient necessary for success in the rugged environment of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
