An impressive result in game 5 finds the Predators in yet another elimination game scenario tonight in Chicago. If they pull out a win tonight, game 7 will be Monday night in Smashville.
What an incredible atmosphere on Thursday night. I went to game 5 half-expecting a tempered crowd, but was blown away by how raucous and emblazoned with gold it was. It was the least amount of Hawks fans I'd ever personally seen in Bridgestone Arena for a Preds-Hawks game. Preds fans filled out the barn to capacity and brought their outside voices. It was 100 decibels on the reg for most of the game, and during the 3rd period it was as loud as I've ever heard it in Bridgestone.
