Preissing...a year later
Last year, defenseman Tom Preissing played for Ottawa in the Stanley Cup finals, which the Ducks won. Preissing will play against his former team tonight and said he hasn't thought much about the Stanley Cup playoffs recently but that he'll probably do so when he's sitting at home watching the playoffs.
``Obviously, you were that close to something you’ve dreamt about since you were a little kid,’’ Preissing said. ``It was very exciting and very difficult. It was an invaluable experience. It was an experience I’d hoped to bring to the team this year, but obviously that’s not going to happen because we’re not going to make the playoffs. I hope that’s something we’ll do in the future.’’
Wasn't Preissing a healthy scratch for Ottawa for a good deal of the playoffs? Did he even play in one finals game?
Hey Jill, thanks for the good work today, it's much appreciated.
Kevin,
He played in all the Sens playoff games last year.
What the hell happened?
I have no problem with Preissing. He has played as expected and has a very reasonable contract. His numbers will go up if he was paired with a stay at home defenseman... The Kings are almost entirely offensive/quaterback defenseman. It is not his fault they have no defensive defenseman and few defensive forwards...
Well said Maverick
