Game 4 Practice Update: Craig Smith Likely Out
The bozos in orange dropped the hammer on your dreams of a sweep, but the Preds are still in the driver's seat. Going up 3-1 tomorrow would be HUGE, but it looks like it will have to happen without Craig Smith.
Craig Smith (LBI) is listed as day-to-day. #Preds

Wasn't Shea Weber listed as day-to-day in the playoffs last year? Just sayin'.
#Preds lines w/o Smith:

Jarnkrok/Johansen/Neal
Forsberg/Ribeiro/Wilson
Arvidsson/Fisher/Salomaki
Bass/Gaustad/Sissons
That may change.
A tiny part of me wants to scream FIALA TIME!!! but the rest of me is pretty sure he'd come unglued and get into all sorts of nonsense with Perry and the boys.

So he's day-to-day but if there's a "void" I'm guessing tomorrow won't be a day he plays.

We don't really like to acknowledge the existence of other podcasts except for The Predcast presented by On the Forecheck and Lionzone Internet Marketing but Fil is the guest so whatever.
Let's take a look at what's going on with the stupid Ducks...
Not that it is news or remotely shocking but BB essentially confirmed that Freddie Andersen is in for Game 4.

Yeah, not shocking. Now...can the Preds actually make him work?

How important is Game 4?
Ah. Game 4 is almost upon us. My favorite. The ultimate swing game. Difference between 3-1 and 2-2 is pretty massive.

I checked this out and it's actually true.
