Nashville Predators: If Players Were Pokemon

Pekka Rinne

Thief: An attack that may steal the target’s held item.

Barrier: The user throws up a sturdy wall that sharply raises its Defense stat.

Rinne’s job is simple. Keep the puck out of the net. With a move like thief, Rinne steals the opponent’s held item (the puck) and prevents a goal from being scored. Whether it’s a flashy glove save or snagging the puck as it floats across the crease, Rinne steals the show.

When he can’t physically steal the puck from an opponent, he can act as a wall to prevent goals from being scored. With barrier, Rinne stands his ground against powerful slapshots from the blue line or tricky wristers to deflect the puck to the safe zone.
