Nashville Predators Injuries, Matt Murray in Goal
The guys are back as they break down the Conference finals, including:
– The injuries to Ryan Johansen and Mike Fisher have the Nashville Predators backs against the wall. Can they hold off the Anaheim Ducks in a best of 3?
– The Predators anthem singer is upset. But can anyone remember his name?
– The Pittsburgh Penguins finally made the switch in net. Has Marc-Andre Fleury played his last game for the Penguins?
– How big of a difference maker is Erik Karlsson for the Ottawa Senators? Is he good enough to take them to the Cup final?
– The schedule for the Stanley Cup final is released. Will it make for better hockey?
– The officiating has been inconsistent at best this playoff. Is there a way to fix it?
– On the heels of the Cavaliers blowing out the Celtics in the NBA playoffs, what is the equivalent type game in hockey? Why is there such a difference between the NHL and the NBA when it comes to parity.
