Nashville Predators coach Peter Laviolette said Friday morning that he’s liked all but 10 of the 120 minutes his team has played in the Stanley Cup Final.
Those 10 minutes have put his team in an 0-2 hole as the Predators prepare to host Game 3 against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.
A 5-3 defeat in Game 1 Monday night saw Pittsburgh score three goals in the first period’s final five minutes, then snap a tie in the last 3 1/2 minutes of the contest with Jake Guentzel’s wrister and an empty-net tally.
