What a response by the guys. Also props for Lavy to have the balls to drop Fiala from the lineup.

Heart attack worthy ending. But the team came up huge tonight. They've come through all year in pressure situations. Now we have home ice.

Great win! Played good all game until the end there. Pekka was strong, defense was superb, and the offense did what they needed to. Early in series I said no to Hartnell due to speed but man did he have a presence tonight. Physicality seemed much better. Another good move by Laviolette.

Hartnell was great tonight. Brought so much energy.

I think our checking got to Winnipeg tonight.

Pekka played the game I thought he would. He was visibly mad at himself for losing his composure at the end of game 3. Everyone stepped up. Let's win the next two and move on.

For those that know more about hockey than me. Was Fiala playing that badly? Was he part of the reason our defense collapsed in a couple games this series

No. Fiala was playing very well. Just needed a lineup with more physicality tonight and Hartnell is that guy. Fiala matches up better against a team like Vegas. Hard for him to be effective on the forecheck against someone like Byfuglien/Myers.

This team is scary when its angry.

The real question is why aren't they angry all the time.

Winnipeg is good and Colorado has some weapons, but I get the impression that Nashville has been playing well in these playoffs only when they want to. It's like they can turn it on when necessary, even if just for part of a game, to keep a series from getting out of hand.

Huge game tonight is an understatement. Winner takes the series IMO.

Really curious to see how Laviolette plays it. Does he keep going with the neutral zone trap game? Go back to wide open with hopes the crowd powers the team? Hartnell or Fiala? Going to be fun to see what the Preds do.

Yep looks like Laviolette is bringing Fiala back into the lineup tonight in place of Hartnell. Not sure how I feel about that, I feel like Hartnell's play was a big reason for winning the other night.
