Thrashers Predators Prospects Game 2: Nashville Splits the Series

The Thrashers were shut out so, I can't talk any glorious goals being scored. The Predators players did a good job of standing up the Thrashers forwards at the offensive blueline. In a real game, the Atlanta forwards should have chipped the puck past the D and pursued it. But if you are a young prospect looking to make an impression dumping the puck deep (even if it is the correct option) is probably hard to do. The Thrashers did have a few quality chances. I think they hit three posts in the contest and there was one great save which I thought was a goal initially. The Predators gave the Thrashers numerous Power Plays and the Thrashers Paul Postma unloaded a number of good shots but Atlanta could not covert. Riley Holzapfel took a stick to the face and left the ice with a towel pressed to his forehead in the 2nd period. He returned to the ice in the 3rd. If you haven't already read it, Ben Wright has a nice summary at Blueland Blog as well. (more after the jump)  ...
