With the Predators 4-1 victory at the United Center, Chicago fans have to be looking at all of things that need to be addressed heading into Game Two.
With Predators 4-1 Victory, Will Chicago’s Goaltending Situation Change
SB Nation’s On The Forecheck thinks that it casts doubt on the play of Antti Niemi:
Perhaps the best thing to come out of this game (besides the victory, obviously) is the nurturing of the seed of doubt about the Blackhawks’ goaltending. While the Nashville skaters took over the third period, it was Niemi’s groaner that he gave up on a 43-foot backhander that let the Preds back in the game.
I’m sure his teammates and coaches will all say the right thing and support their goalie, but at the same time, they’re looking around the room at Cristobal Huet, and realizing that they don’t have much of an alternative.
