Tough goals, good win

The Preds take down the Ducks 4-2. Three of the four goals are scored in the "hard" areas, with Ryan Jones, Jason Arnott, and Marty Erat crashing the front of the net to score. The Preds are showing heart and doing what it takes to win in this critical stretch drive. They are now 3-0 in the month of February. Showing some heart and doing what it takes to win. On the road tomorrow against the Wild.

Heart

Heart means many things to people. In the vernacular of sports, heart can indicate a burning desire to win, picking up your team and carrying them on your back. Call it grit, determination, desire, whatever your favorite term, the winners display it and the losers lack it. Sometimes heart is displayed by an individual that rallies his teammates; sometimes heart is the composite of a team doing what it takes to win.

15 games in February. The season and a possible playoff berth on the line. This is the drive to the post season for the Predators. Time to dig down deep and do the things that produce victories. Win the battles in the corners; be immovable in front of the net; throw the puck on goal. Time to show some heart, boys
