WCF Game 5 Open Thread

The battle for Western Conference supremacy moves back to the left coast tonight as we've got the Nashville Predators looking to bring a 3-2 series lead back to Smashville. The Anaheim Ducks stand in their way, with Stanley Cup dreams of their own.

Nashville is hurting right now though. Ryan Johansen left game 4 and required emergency hip surgery which will cost him and the Preds the remainder of the playoffs. Johansen was one of the biggest offensive threats for the Predators, having scored 3 goals along side 10 assists.
