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

Saw a stat during the Vegas game that winners of game 5 have gone on to win the series 78% of the time.

We need this one badly

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.

Yeah I thought Hartnell was a good change. Would have rather seen Hartnell stay in for Salomaki on the 4th line honestly. Not sure how that would have worked having Fisher and Hartnell on the same line though.

I would try something for sure with that 4th line because I don't think Salomaki brings enough to be honest. Lavy really does seem to love that 4th line with him, Fish, and Hartman and doesn't seem to want to mess with the chemistry that much.

Make sense. Best of 3 Series with 2 at home. No reason we shouldn’t take it. Just gotta play like game 4

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.

I say we suffocate them in the neutral zone. Make them dump the puck deep and don't allow them to enter the zone with speed.

Need the Bridge rockin tonight.

Considering the firepower the Jets have, I agree. Preds can skate with them no problem but I think it’d be better to keep frustrating them in the neutral zone. Need to keep the physicality up and impacting the Jets game. It worked perfect last game.

If Fiala is coming back then it sounds like Lavi is trying to stay one step ahead of Maurice. He will inevitably adjust to our plan from last night so Lavi is just trying to play the game.

 

[vol4eva]

Great chances. Need to finish

Fiala I’ve noticed tries to be to cute with the puck.

 

[vol4eva]

Just can't get it to go

 

[BigOrange15]

Just can't get it to go

He'll crack.

 

[vol4eva]

Like our effort, but we can't let Winnipeg hang around

Need to bury one. Outplayed the Jets in that period but nothing to show for it yet.

Got to cute at times. Need to shoot and crash.

 

[Burhead]

Holy crap my heart stopped there.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Of course

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Well there's the stupid giveaway

 

[vol4eva]

Not surprised

 

[Burhead]

Of course they miss Hartman getting hit in the face.

 

[BigOrange15]

You let them live in your end, that's going to happen eventually.

 

[vol4eva]

There's rebounds. We're not crashing

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Starting to feel a bit like game 1 but not as dominant.

 

[vol4eva]

Boom!!!!!
