Daniil Tarasov Played An Unreal Game, Still Can't Stop A Rolling Predators Team
Daniil Tarasov made 47 saves, and Alex Texier scored the lone goal for the Jackets in a tight loss against the Nashville Predators on Saturday Afternoon. Columbus native Keifer Sherwood scored for Nashvillle, and Luke Evangelista scored the game winner on a missile that beat Tarasov.
If the game were to be described in one word, the word would be OBSCENE. Ironic considering it was kids takeover day at Nationwide Arena. The game was ugly, plain and simple. And it wasn't just the Jackets that were ugly, Nashville had some time where they were sloppy too.
In the end Nashville showed why they had gotten points in 10 straight games. They pushed hard from the very beginning of the game and didn't let up. They ended up with 49 shots on goal, and if it weren't for the play of Daniil Tarasov, this game could've been 10-1 easily.
