Observations of a Blues fan here. The Preds seem to have lost their identity in this series. They are playing much more tentatively than normal. Their D-men are not being nearly as aggressive as they have been all season long. The whole team seems to be reactive rather than proactive in their approach. I've never seen Rinne come unglued the way he has against Winnipeg and. overall, team discipline is seriously lacking. I hate to say it but perhaps they are a bit intimidated by the Jets, especially Byfuglien, for whom the Preds apparently have no answer judging by the way he ran roughshod over them on Tuesday night.

It's likely from my perspective that the winner of this series plays in the Cup finals. In order to advance, Nashville must find a way to get pucks on net more often and definitely need to create more traffic in front of Hellebuyck (who has shown himself to be very vulnerable to giving up mucker-type goals). Winnipeg is dominating play in the neutral zone and creating a lot of odd-man rushes as a result. Nashville needs to turn the tables on them in game 4 to even this series. If they can't do it tonight, I think this series is over.

I know much of this is obvious to everyone but needs to be stated nonetheless. One thing for sure, this is one helluva entertaining series to watch for someone without a rooting interest.

has anyone been to a watch party at bridgestone? how was it? can tickets be bought at box office 30 minutes before puck drop? and do they sell adult beverages?

looks like both Armia and Perreault back for the Jets tonight.
plus kulikov all in regular jerseys.

the equivalent of us getting a bonino, watson/hartman, and ekholm back. yikes.

3rd line center, bottom 6 winger, and a #4 defenseman. gets Hendricks out of the lineup too.

Bonino is a better comparison than Smith, but Kulikov is no Ekholm. Still, shores up their depth and drives some weaker players out of the lineup. If we play our game, it's still a beatable lineup. Let's hope that many players coming back into the lineup disrupts the Jets chemistry/rhythm for a game or two.

So Hartman leading stretches today- does that mean he is in?? Jarnkrok also might be in.

If both of them play, who sits? Salomaki would be one, but who is the other?

jarnkrok not in. fiala out. hartman, hartnell in. emelin out for weber.

definitely do not approve of the lineup changes in that sense.

if Fiala is out then Smith and Turris better drop their disappearing acts and start playing.

Would be shocked if that's actually how we come out tonight. Lavi's got brass stones if he's electing to send Fiala a message in this manner (which is, admittedly, completely deserved--another stupid-ass penalty that likely cost us game 3).

Also, please win Preds. I'd rather my first day in Nashville to be as we're about to take a 3-2 lead in the series, not trying to stave off elimination.
