New York. Joho, Nashville Predators can still assert themselves even against strong opposition.
They pulled off a 4-1 away win over Calgary last night.
– It was a really stable effort for 60 minutes, goal scorer Philip Forsberg told Sportbladet.
To say the least, it’s been frustrating for the returnees since returning home after the opening games against San Jose in Prague, and coach John Haynes’ demands began to be heard from more than one impatient fans after the lackluster efforts against Washington and Edmonton.
But at Saddledome in Calgary last night, the right kind of response came from his men.
They put in their strongest performance of the season so far, practically controlling the entire match and winning 4-1.
– Of course it was very comfortable, but it was also a really good match on our part for 60 minutes, he says Philip Forsberg On the phone from Calgary.
– In many previous games we played hastily and sloppy, but now we have not, and we have not given up many pucks at all. And we were there from the start, we could have scored some more goals in the first half.
He himself waited for the net until the start of the second, when he lost in a free position and scored without pardon the fourth goal of the season behind Jacob Markstrom.
“I came straight from the booth and I had speed and Matt Duchene was grazing nicely on a driveway by Jeremy Luzon from his private area,” says 28-year-old Mazer.
Philip also got help – just like Mikael Backlund in the goal of consoling the Flames.
