What a twat. The shit the Ducks got away with vs the Flames and Oilers was a joke. That's the last team that should ever complain about officiating. They made slashing an art form.

Ottawa force it to game 7 thanks to Andy.

Andy will have to stand on his head for them to win game 7 imo.

Should be an interesting matchup. Would be good to see the Preds win this.

Rinne has been outstanding, and the Preds top 4 on D are incredible, but the Pens are also solid in nets. Pittsburgh's D is thin, but they have so much offence.

Pulling for the Preds, but I also am picking Pens in 6.

So who you got in Finals?

With all due respect to Rinne and the Fab 4 on D, I don't see how Nashville generates enough offence to beat the Penguins and Murray/Fleury in nets. Pittsburgh's middling defence not withstanding.

Pens up middle: Crosby/Malkin/Bonino/Cullen
Preds up middle: Scissons/Fisher/Jankarok/?

Pittsburgh in 6

If PekkaR does well and doesn't go out with injuries that will be huge...but agree Preds may not have strong enough offense to balance the equation.

I don't have a dog in this fight but rooting for Pens simply because they took out the Ducks.

Ironically the team from the south, who all the snobs said woud ruin the finals and nobody would watch has attracted more new viewers than most teams could dream of.

Yup! Gotta agree.

If Rinne had not shit the bed in games 1-2, Nashville would have a stranglehold on this series... Or it would be over.

They are going to break ratings records in the US for NBC if this goes 7:

NBC ranks #1 among the Big 4 networks for the night in adults 18-49, total viewers, adults 25-54, adults 18-49 and every key adult-male demographic.

In metered-market results, which are time zone-adjusted, last night's NBC Sports 8:15-11:15 p.m. ET coverage of Stanley Cup Final hockey, featuring the Pittsburgh Penguins at the NASHVILLE Predators, delivered 4.14 rating, topping all Stanley Cup Final games from last year (which featured the Penguins versus the San Jose Sharks).

The 4.14 household rating is up +33% versus the year-ago Game 4 (3.31 for Penguins-Sharks), making it the #2 highest-rated Game 4 on NBC or NBCSN since those networks began coverage in 2006.

With a 28.0 local rating in Nashville, Game 4 was highest-rated Predators game ever on networks of NBC, ahead of the prior Monday's Game 1 on NBC (22.5). Pittsburgh delivered a 30.9 local rating for Game 4

It probably will go to game 7, The home team keeps slaughtering the visiting team, this whole series.

I predicted Pens in 6, and I'm sticking with it!

Looks like Crosby will win the CS again.

Tough break for Preds? Yes, but it was also the correct call. Inadvertent whistles are a way of life in the NFL.

The problemis, some teams seem to get quicker whistles than other? And how does Crosby win ConnSmythe? The NHL is entering WWE territory.

This year is more understandable than last year imo.
But you know if it is close, they will give to the face of the NHL, and the good ole Canadian boy.
