Sure but good finishers still only score on ~15% of their shots instead of, say, 50% like tonight.

Usually even when we get our poo poo pushed in we can manage at least 20 shots or so.

Oddly enough the Preds don't have a lot of shots either. 26 shots isn't a whole lot, though I'm sure they have the lions share of the shot attempts too

Rinne is good, he's just super streaky.

In fairness MAF was the Pens' MVP the first two rounds, and the first time he had a bad game his rear end went to the bench and stayed there, and it was the correct decision.

Preds are different in that Rinne is actually the starter and it isn't clear the other guy is better, though.

It worked really well for the Penguins. Saros is Murray good. He'll beat Rinne out for the starting job before his contract is over.

Rinne is having a great run but he hasn't been a great goalie in a long time.
