Conference Finals. I did not think we'd make it. We had a few close calls along the way, but here we are. As a reminder, here is how we fared against the Predators in the regular season. We beat them by 2 clear goals each time we met on the road but our lone home matchup went to a shootout. I'm. Hm. I'm not sure quite how to take that. ANYWAY, IT'S TIME Game 1 Halfway through the first and we're up against it already. Birdstrike's inability to deal with shots from strange angles bites us once again as #44 receives the puck from a long pass and buries it. A few more chances here and there litter the first but it goes into the second with us down 1-0. Towards the end of the second we start a powerplay with Leatherman on the puck.

Game 1 Less than three minutes in and there is a face-off at the EHM logo in front of the Sharks goal. Podima gets the puck, finds Stickup, and Retro Futurist slams it in to give us the 1-0 lead. A perfect start to try to calm the nerves after how the last round ended. Halfway through the first, Poque collects the puck deep in our end during a quick line change. Poque finds Retro Futurist who looks up to find Podima #77 Podima draws the goalie out and makes no mistake Putting us ahead 2-0. Immediately from the face-off, #52 Bottle Knight gets the puck and races down the left win...
