    Predators finish off the Wings tonight

    Deuce... Paco... Sorry Detroit backers but Nashville finishes your squad off tonight.

    The Red Wings should have won one of those games at home with how much pressure they were putting on the Preds but Rinne has been too much. Two losses like that are demoralizing for a team and now they have to go on the road with their season on the line.

    Even though the red wings are loading up on shots, most are coming from the outside and they aren't getting many rebound chances. I look for another solid effort from Rinne and for the Preds to advance and finally get past Detroit.

    Predators ML -120

    Rinne and that defense seem unbeatable at this point.

    solid bet....I think the Wings go home tonight!

    Of course not. Break up what? Datsyuk Zetterberg Franzen all signed until like 2020. Howard is their future. I don't see much changing to be honest besides maybe guys like Stuart will go, Cleary maybe. Core of the team are all just resigned. They have quite a bit of cap space. Look for them to push for Parise in the off season.

    They could still trade them... I don't think it will happen either but I thought there were rumors of it.

    I don't think so. Rinne has played like superman, if he has a mediocre day, wings win easy.

    3-1 wings today.

    i see a close game here. Dont really see a 2 goal victory unless someone gets a free shot at a empty net here.

    No question. It's sad... but his career ends in Nashville. Zero chance coming back next year. Hell of a career... but even he knows... he doesn't have what it takes physically anymore.

    Took wings. They always fuk me. When I bet on them they lose and when I bet against they score in the last minute to tie and win it in OT.

    Detroit's story for the last 15 years in the playoffs... HOT GOALTENDING. They always run into that goalie that stands on their head.... it's unreal... they pepper the tender with all of these shots.... like a shooting gallery out there... but nothing to show for it.

    Show some heart Detroit.

    Nashville is basically a mid-major team.

    (4) Nashville Predators vs. (5) Detroit Red Wings

    The additions for Nashville at the deadline have been key into the long term depth this team will have to out power the opposition to make a deep run. I really like Nashville in this post season to take care of business and make a deep run. Renne has been in Vezina form and will carry this team on his back. Suter, Webber, can shut down any top scoring line and will take over the game at a moments notice. With that being said, Detroit is in a bad spot. This team has been there before and this isn't their first rodeo much like it is Nashville's. Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Franzen all need to play at their 100% best to have a shot. Jimmy Howard has been banged up and ever since the All Star break he hasn't been the same. The X factors in this series will be Helm, Abdelkader, and Bertuzzi. This will be a low scoring series. As much as it pains me to say it, I do think that Nashville wins in 5. Detroit is just too banged up and Nashville is full of young guns that are hungry, a team full of guys that have their eyes on the prize. Nashville is very motivated.


    Unreal insight. Sharp as a tack.

    Regarding their talent, i respectfully disagree. I think Nashville is a serious contender in the Western Conference.

    I hope Lidstrom gives it 1 more year. I think hes good enough to have another year in him. I have a lot of respect for that guy. 7 Norris trophies, 4 stanley cups, Conn Smyth trophy, olympic gold medal, world championship.

    That's because there's no talent in the West.

    When Micheal Ryder is basically your leading goal scorer......sad and pathetic.

    Ryder can shoot. He made me bang my head against the wall with some of his bonehead defensive plays being out of position, etc. but he can shoot.

    With regard to NSH, i should have worded my statement better. I wasn't just referring to their talent. I mean this for STL too. both are great teams. but i like their system a lot. play a good defensive game, they can hit, have great goaltending, and play a great all around game. they are solid teams. and both STL and NSH are serious contenders.
