While I still think NSH wins this one, it’s almost starting to feel like that Wings/Sharks series from 94.

Ahh yes the year DET wasted the only Hart + Selke season in NHL history. Good times.

So whats going on in the O'le Wells Fargo this evening so that game 4 couldn't commence? Two day breaks are garbage.

And what happened to Bartley? Is he banned again? Was really enjoying his resurgence.

Well first, who are you considering "every other cup contender," I think that has to be established before I can compare them to anyone.

Second, I don't think you need Crosby and Malkin to win a cup (while they do help), the Blackhawks, Kings, and Bruins of the last 6 seasons weren't overly loaded with top end talent any more than this current Predators team.

I'll just answer this one because it's all similar. I say it MIGHT be an issue that they don't have the forwards who can take over a game or a series. I see that more on the teams you mentioned, especially the Kings and Hawks: Kane, Hossa, Toews, Sharp, Kopitar, Carter, Gaborik

That said, they are my Cup pick so I'm hardly discounting their chances, just see it as a weakness. Everyone has one.

Pittsburgh, Boston, Tampa, Jets are the other teams I look at. Vegas, Toronto, and Washington get mentioned. I see more game breakers up front on all of them.

That would be a huge blow, hope it's not true actually.

PG guys reporting it. Sully said day to day but out tomorrow. Simon practiced in his spot today, though I'm going to guess ZAR moves up and maybe Rust goes back with Sid.

Apparently someone leveled him with an open ice hit at practice... wtf?

Found nothing on twitter, until I saw it was filtering out the 'latest' tweets... because that makes sense X_X

Hes taking this embellishment too hard, imo.

Wow!

I wonder who draws in now. My guess ZAR takes his spot, but will Simon or Jooris come in

Crap that Hornqvist injury is going to HURT! I guess I'm hoping for Jooris to sub in now, maybe Sprong?

Simon was practicing on the top line today, for what its worth.

Time for youngin' Reese to get another shot on the top powerplay unit... or Guentz. I'd rather Reese so you don't touch both PP units, and because he looked legit before his injury during season when subbing in for Horny.

Seems strange to throw Simon on the #1 line for his first game back. If anything, he and ZAR should switch. At least ZAR has played this month.

How many games did Horny miss last playoffs? I know that when he came back he was a 4th line winger.

Strange but not definite. Also, he has shown he can play well with Sid. I think that kid is going to bring a lot of energy tomorrow night no matter where is inserted in the lineup...

...if he's inserted at all haha.
