Well, the Hurricanes changed their goalie tonight, starting Bussi, but it did not reduce the scoring much.  Hurricanes win it 5-3 and tie the series 2-2.  Game five on Thursday back in North Carolina and the winner will be one win away from lifting the Cup. 

I shouldn't be surprised whatsoever with game 4 results. All of a sudden, I could care less with who wins the SCF.

Carolina really stuck it to Vegas in game five.  Started off well for Vegas getting a PPG and a 1-0 lead, but it was all Carolina after that, winning it 4-2 in a dominate performance. Bussi has come in and changed the game for Carolina, many good saves tonight and he is saving the series for them.  Vegas has been whipped on the special teams in this series, and now William Karlsson might be injured.  If Vegas is going to come back, they need to shake things up and fix a lot in a short amount of time.  Carolina has not lost two in a row since January, so they are in strong position, either win the Cup Sunday night in Vegas or have a chance to do it at home in game 7.   All the momentum is with Carolina right now.

It is looking that way, hopefully there is a game seven.  This has been a great series and a game seven would be insane, but Vegas appeared all out of sorts in game five and Carolina looked to be in total control.  Carolina looks faster, sharper, and more organized the last two games. Vegas is getting killed on special teams, taking too many penalties, and has not been good enough on defense.

IF, the SCF goes to game 7, I’d be super shocked and will say once again…rigged for the money.
