This is a Free #NHL play on the Anaheim #Ducks.

The Ducks got off on the wrong foot losing both Games 1 & 2 on home ice. A change between the pipes has flipped this series on it's head though, as Frederick Andersen has come in and stymied the Preds in three straight games. He was great again in Game 6, giving up just two goals on 25 shots.

There's a lot to like about the Nashville Predators, and if it wasn't for the fact that they play the Ducks in the first round, they might have been primed for a long playoff run. The Ducks finished with five more wins in the regular season, which doesn't make a bit of difference here in the playoffs. What does make a difference though is that Anaheim allowed fewer goals than any other team in the league, and had by far the best special teams unit with the league's #1 ranked power play and top penalty kill.

he Preds are 1-for-23 on the power-play in the series, and it's hard to win games in this league when you can't compete in special teams play. Nashville is 0-8 when losing three of the first five games in a playoff series, and this will be the first Game 7 in Nashville's franchise history.

I'll take the more experienced, more talented team at home.

Take ANA.
