All summer long, NHL Network will be replaying the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs -- from every jaw-dropping goal to every highlight-reel save to every crushing defeat.

Each game of the postseason -- spanning the more than two-month period from the opening round to Boston's Game 7 clincher of the Stanley Cup Final -- will be shown on the Network throughout the offseason.

Fans can tune in at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. ET nightly for a different game -- and different chance to re-live history. A complete program schedule can be found on NHLNetwork.com.

There weren't many clubs during the 2010-11 regular season that could consistently silence Anaheim's top line of Bobby Ryan, Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf, and so the Nashville Predators certainly had their work cut out for them in Game 2. While the Nashville blueliners held that dynamic scoring unit to just one assist in a 4-1 victory at Honda Center in Game 1, the second game of the series would be a whole different story.

After combining for a minus-5 rating in Game 1, Ryan, Perry and Getzlaf absolutely exploded in Game 2 with a combined 4 goals and 5 assists to lead Anaheim to a 5-3 win at Honda Center. Perhaps even more impressive than those numbers was the fact that the Ducks' top line matched up against one of the NHL's best defensive pairs for most of the game in Nashville's Shea Weber and Ryan Suter.
