Game 7 Practice Update: Ready to Rumble
It's Game 7, folks. If you ask me, this is the most important game of the season. Might as well win it.
Peter Laviolette: "The guys know the deal, they know where they're at... They're loose right now and they're ready to play." #Preds

Good. Loose is very good. If they were tight, though, I doubt we'd hear about it. Let's see what the players have to say...
Colin Wilson on the home dominance in this series so far: "I think we have the confidence in our group to take that away from them tonight."

Please don't take this as a critique of the question or the answer, but good grief is this boring as hell. Nobody in their right mind would say "we don't have the confidence" or "I'm not sure we have what it takes" BEFORE the game. I think I've completely burned out on the Sports Quote. It's probably just a me thing, something I have to work through.
Colin Wilson on Lavy's 5-1 record in Game 7s. "It's exciting"

HOLY $%#!
Ryan Ellis sporting James Neal's No. 18 hoodie for morning media availability: "Favorite player." #Preds

Ok, now THIS is solid. Best quote of the series. I'm back on board.
Chris Mason: In the games that Martin Jones has had to make high-quality saves, he hasn't fared well.

So the Preds should try to get really close to the net BEFORE they try to put it in. I agree with this strategy.

Probably the only real lineup change we're gonna see tonight.

He's got an actually kind of weak six points in the six games in the series and is apparently terrible in the Nerd Stats.
Is this Sharks team different? Finally? Or is it same old Sharks? https://t.co/Jvz2jeEYvd

No, this Sharks team isn't different and they are 100% not ready to finish off the Preds. #Analysis.

We've got a couple of hours to figure out a way to make Brent Burns oversleep and miss the game. Brainstorming starts NOW.
