Paul McCann: Game Four - Turning Point

Unpopular opinion you sit Fisher. Popular opinion you sit Salomaki.

As much as I like Fisher I'm not seeing the spark from him that I think he was intended to give. Salomaki had some good hits, but he's one of the lower TOI guys and also something like -4 on the series. Doesnt bode well for him.

lets hope the boys remember what time the game starts tonight.

Also seriously with another Predators home game starting at 8:30pm?

I would be a little surprised to see Fisher sit - not because he's played particularly well, but because he was a past captain, and they need some leadership on the ice. They can win with the lineup they've iced the first 3 games, but the team (especially the D) needs to play better. I don't know that Jarnkrok is ready yet, but if he is, it could juggle both the 3rd & 4th lines a bit.

Here are my three keys to the game:

1. Subban & Eckholm have to be better. Cut the penalties & move!
2. Fiala/Turris/Smith have to get going. Need that line to score some goals.
3. Neutralize MacKinnon - hard to do on the road. All 4 lines need to commit.

If the Preds got a real wake up call, they need to put this away early. The Preds are better & deeper, but the Avs are a good team. Can't let them hang around & gain confidence on home ice.

If mondays night game didn’t wake the sleeping giant we are all going to be golfing...

Fish won't sit, he can take face offs. Sit Salomaki.

Fish has the highest FO% during the playoffs. He's missing a lot, even from last year, but you want multiple FO guys for D/PK FOs.

Need more from Turris

Salo/Jarny/Harts/Freddy G/Etc/Etc - swap those guys..but if Jarny can play, he stays in & the rest are medical fill-ins.

I've been a season ticket holder for years and goto every game. Sometimes I wish I could just turn the TV off and goto bed instead of making the trek back to the suburbs.

I know, I hate walking to the convention center to get into my 2017 BMW and then driving to my big american home and then getting into my warm bed. The Struggle is real man.....hahaha

Sorry I couldnt resist, but your right these late start times are awful.

This team keeps shooting it's self in the foot with the STUPID penalties.
