-- The Predators didn’t do anything that surprised the Ducks. They just played well in every facet of the game. “They did a lot of the same things we expected. Played hard, played for their lives,” Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf said. “They had guys blocking shots, the goaltender played good. and I didn’t think we did a good enough job getting to Pekka [Rinne]. He saw too many pucks. We weren’t there for enough rebounds.”
-- The Ducks are very well aware of their three Game 7 losses the past three playoffs, and that their Game 7 shortcomings have become a theme.
