2018-19 Stanley Cup Playoffs part III: Final 4

[kovacro]

Yeah, they must've expected it to go 7. Or didn't want to compete with the NBA final on the weekend.

NBA Finals are going to start May 30.

I don’t need to see another parade for a Boston team winning a championship. That’s enough.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Two of the hard and heavy teams in the Final.

After that abomination in Game 7, good f***ing riddance San Jose! Karma is real.

DRAFT PICKS:

Burns doesn't age though. Couture seems to be a young 30. Kane, 28. Hertl, 25/26. Labanc, 23. Meier, 23. Could have a decent amount of cap to play with. Probably not the last of the Sharks yet.

I bet Jon Hamm is celebrating the Blues win by going full Donald Draper and getting sauced downing a bottle of Canadian Club.

[TruKingFan]

Who knew that the Lucic trade was actually a long and elaborate con to prevent a San Jose Stanley Cup victory?

Well done. LOL

 

[Bandit]

So was all that freaking out about round 1 worth it? Patience is a virtue.

Yup, just like the Kings used to be.

[Raccoon Jesus]

All that scorched earth and nothing to show for it but 15 years of bridesmaidenship

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Sharks are in an ever growing bad spot, no cups, an aging expensive roster, and they traded away high draft picks for the next two drafts

 

[Kingspiracy]

The Sharks, just like clockwork.

I never believed they were gonna make the Cup final, just that their path became easier once ALL the calls went their way. No hand pass, offsides, or 5 min major saved them tonight.

btw, anyone see Evander Kane? Me neither. 2 goals in the playoffs.

 

[Little Psycho]

Hope the Blues win their first cup. Boston can choke.

At least we had the excuse of chasing a 3rd cup in 5 years.

Someone on sportsnet brought this up too. Hard heavy hockey still wins in the playoffs, you just need guys who can score. All the super fast, skilled team are out...early.

 

[deaderhead28]

Nice to see the Choke havent disappointed.

Listen, you don't get it, the consistency San Jose has shown since entering the league is remarkable. They've only missed the playoffs a few times. Most fanbases would dream to have that.

You also see Vladimir Tarasenko playing like Dustin Brown suddenly. He’s also more physical than anyone on the Kings blueline not named Kurtis. Pastrnak has also upped his physicality this post season for the Bruins. It’s nice to have talented forwards who play with their hearts on their sleeves.

 

[kingsfan28]

The over/under in the amount of times we'll hear about Bobby Orr's goal is 30 . Place your bets.

The Wings too. But they have the Cups for being that consistent over the same time period. The Sharks are the Caps of the west, without Ovi.
