[GDT] June 5, Game four of the Stanley Cup Finals!

[Robbob]

Simpson is really coming across sour in the broadcast.

Not hanging this one on Murray but do you switch back to MAF just to change things up??

[1qqaaz]

The Preds might have won the cup by now if not for Murray

All I do is win is not a Lil wayne song. It is from Dj Khaleds 4th cd which was just a compilation of artists.

I love the fans in Nashville. If only I had a way to fly to Nashville to enjoy Game 6. Must be one big party in Tennessee.

[Keselke]

Barkley definitely rooted simpson

[MissTeeks]

Sunday is also CMT Fest in Nashville. That place will be just crazy.

Juat finished watching. I like to wait an hour for the app to skip commercial breaks etc.

Ladies and gentlemen we have a series. Go preds.

The only other team on the finals I could cheer harder for would be the Flames.

They have an amazing fanbase. They fought hard when there was a billionaire that wanted to buy the team for relocation and the team is rewarding them.

The Finnish broadcast call of Pekka Rinne's diving save in Game 4 is awesome.

Nice Flames hat in the crowd after Nashville's empty netter.

[the_only_turek_fan]

I think the Preds will win at home on Sunday.

[timbit]

What a game. Incredibly loud arena....

[FireGilbert]

Go Preds!

What is the most frustrating part of this series as a Flames fan?

-Nashville in the finals after having an identical regular season to Calgary?

-Freddy Hockey with 3 goals in 6 games including a sick wrap around compared to Johnny Hockey with 2 assists in 4 games?

-Jake Guentzel being drafted 10 spots behind Keegan Kanzig and Pittsburgh getting a better player with their 2013 3rd round pick than Calgary got with Pittsburgh's 1st rounder?

I thought it was absurd that some people wanted Rinne to get benched after 2 games, he's been their biggest reason they are in the first cup final ever. Glad they have actually professional decision makers there

What comes around goes around as the Flames and Predators were 3 points apart in the 2003-04 season. The Flames made it to the finals and the Preds were eliminated in the 1st round. The pattern continues, the Red Wings eliminated the Predators and then the Flames took out Detroit. This year, the Ducks eliminate the Flames and then the Preds take out the Ducks.

Rinne will win the Conn Smythe if Nashville wins. Probably also has a good chance to win it if Nashville loses.

I actually likened the situation to the Ducks/Oilers series where the Oilers got off to a quick 2-0 series lead with Gibson looking pretty shaky and how Carlyle stuck with him and was rewarded as Gibson got better as the playoffs progressed. I felt sticking with Rinne was the right call albeit with a short leash. Again sticking with the guy that got you there paid off.

Nope. You can argue if not for Murray the Predators are celebrating winning the Stanley Cup last night or at minimum up 3-1 going back into Pittsburgh. While the Penguins were extremely advantageous in the first two games they really haven't played well and look like a tired team. That said with the games so spread out they can probably come back with a better effort at home. If they lose in Pittsburgh and Murray is just okay then you may consider going to Fleury if only out of desperation to change the tide in the series.

Flames had eight selections (3 in the first round) in what was supposed to be a deep draft and came out with a single player in Monahan which was kind of a no-brainer pick. Safe to say the that draft turned into a massive waste of opportunity for the organization and it's a reason the team continues to have to look to free agency and trades to supplement the roster. Drafting simply hasn't been good enough.

Klimchuk could still pan out I guess? If he does, it'll be an okay draft.
