Preds' Fisher makes crystal clear comments about hate for Penguins.

Playoff games are rarely the place to make new friends. Both teams are there to win and no compromise can be made. To make it worst, there needs to be 4 game won before the true winner is decided, so these long series can grow into a very hateful contest. 

This is precisely what's happening these days between the Penguins and the Predators. After 5 games played, the Pens lead the series 3-2 and will face the Predators in a do-or-die situation on Sunday night. It could be the 5th Stanley Cup for the Pittsburgh squad or a chance for the Preds to show the hockey world what they're made of. 

Captain Mike Fisher was asked today if the previous games were considered water under the bridge or if it was still fresh. He had this pretty clear answer to provide. 

You can't be much clearer. ''They hate us, we hate them, that's hockey''. The most impressive thing in all this is the fact both teams will shake hands at the end of the series, no matter what happened before. Hockey is a true gentlemen sport, more than most every other in the world.
