Twitter roasts Rinne, Gibson for allowing 7 total goals in 2 periods
Through 40 minutes of play, Game 2 of the Western Conference Final was a goalie battle - for all the wrong reasons.
The Anaheim Ducks led the Nashville Predators 4-3 after two periods Sunday, with four of those seven total goals coming in the second frame. John Gibson allowed three goals on 21 shots and Pekka Rinne was even worse, conceding four on 16 Ducks shots.
Twitter couldn't help itself from mocking the netminders, especially Rinne, who let in a hauntingly bad goal by Nick Ritchie for his third goal allowed in the second period.

My timeline is transforming from "Pull Gibson" to "Pull Rinne" as I watch.

I think that might have gone in off Rinne's face, in case you're wondering what kind of night he's having.

That's a dodgeball goal.

In Rinne's defense, Game 2 marks the first time all playoffs that he has allowed four or more goals in a game - not a bad run.
