Haha time for a 7 game sweep.

You can tell how enthusiastic our board fans are right now. No GDT. #mygiveadamnhasleftthebuilding.

Not sure why Preds fans here are already this hmm lets say depressed about the series ? It's only 2:2 . Yeah Preds haven't played well last two games and got beaten badly last game but still. The team is still very much in it. Not like the way the series went should've been a suprised to anyone.

Diva is our Eeyore. That's just her.

All the rest of us have had a whole season of not meeting (likely unrealistic) expectations.

The optimists tend not to post,especially not here...

 

[Linnie The Pooh]

This series is definitely looking like a 7th game is in the future. Nashville I believe has more pressure on them in this one because this game is on home ice and losing this one could mean an elimination game in Dallas in game 6. I don't think they will let that happen. I think in the Game 4 giving Rinne the extra rest from pulling him early on will help him tonight and he will show up and do well.

 

[lostinwarsaw]

Let’s just throw Ellis up to forward, I’d actually feel more safe with him up there...

 

[POVERTY]

Let's go Stars!

It's the effort level of the Preds. Been this way for months .

We got blindsided with the Chicago game to win Central. They came out hustling.

Then the playoffs happened. Back to the status quo .

Let's hope we see a team that wants to win tonight.

 

[MikeFolignosHelmet]

Go Preds!

 

[Prediculous]

Must win for the Preds imo. I dont think we can beat this Dallas team 2x in a row. If the Preds win imo the series can still go both ways, if Dallas wins I feel it's over. Dallas has been better this series for sure.

Games 2 and 3 in this series. I do agree that winning Game 5 makes it easier.

For the Stars fans: I have seen probably fewer Preds games than the other posters on here. They have a tendency to come out flat in the first period and fall behind. Against a good team, like Dallas, they just can't score 2 or 3 goals in period 3 and win. They have to play 60 minutes of good hockey. We have had a lot of disappointment this season, despite being the division champs. Instead of one point, Nashville should have won going away. The team frequently doesn't play up to their potential.

I hope that Grimaldi is in the line up for Nashville. The D can't score all the goals needed to win.

Good thing that hockey is played indoors. I see the Indy weather is about the same, so it must be a big storm.

 

[Predigree]

We win this without a doubt. Anyone have to be optimistic.

How´s Granlund so far?

 

[King Weber]

How´s Granlund so far?

Has a lucky goal in the series, but other than that he's been quiet.

 

[M2Beezy]

Game 5 about to start!

This is crazy

Good thing the game is indoors

 

[WesMcCauley]

Patrick Sharp still looks like a 10/10

Patrick Sharp still looks like a 10/10

No kidding. Bradley Cooper could play him in a biopic and it might even be a downgrade.

Thanks.Go Preds!

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Whats with these games they schedule for 2:00 or 8:30 but don't start for 20 minutes after???

 

[Leonardo87]

That’s pretty cool the whole Smashville thing with the car. Sorry little things like that grab my attention, lol.
