Noteworthy point:

Good for him. Go Vegas

Keefe is better though, gotta stick with him!

Smug face emojis for Mitch, JT and Matthews.

Vegas a has bunch of really good players between 5 and 6 million and their D has 3 or 4 guys between 2 and 2.75 million.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Vegas it is. Please for the love of all that is holy beat Florida.

Now it's humid heat vs dry heat.

The Expansion Cup!
A previous runner-up will soon be referred to as "champion".

I'd love to see them win one for McPhee.

 

[Stephen]

I was kinda interested to see if the Boston Celtics could make the 3-0 comeback in the NBA vs the Miami Heat to avenge the 3-1 comeback of the Florida Panthers over the Boston Bruins just for the symmetry But I'm mostly glad Boston lost twice to Miami in one spring.

It's funny how uneventful and casual it feels for Dallas to lose in the conference finals or for Vegas to go to the finals. Winning the Stanley Cup probably isn't as serious business as we make it out to be here in Canada...

 

[Squiffy]

Heat-Celtics a blowout too. Apparently very hard to come back from down 3-0 in Conference Finals in sports

Also a bad night for green teams.

 

[Bomber0104]

Worst Cup matchup probably ever.

No interest in either team really.

 

[Squiffy]

40% from the field and 20% from 3. Brutal. Not hard to nail down what went wrong there for the Celtics.

Well, go.. Vegas? I guess? Good hard fought 7 game series with a 4th OT game 7 Cup winner to make it amusing please?

 

[Nineteen67]

Vegas is the best atmosphere in the NHL and Ive enjoyed watching them since their first game. For that reason alone I hope they win, but I wouldn’t be upset if Florida won and brought the Cup back to the State of Hockey.

It's never happened at all in the NBA. Think it's four times in the NHL and once in baseball. And the 1942 Leafs were the first to ever do it.

 

[IPS]

Game 1 isn't 'til June 3rd.

All this time off might hurt Bobrovsky.

Yeah, logically if a team is good enough to go up 3-0 against you, you're most likely not coming back.

Glad the NHL is giving everyone enough time not to give a shit about the finals.

Every year.

They should aim to have the playoffs done by the end of May. Weather gets too nice outside to really care when it's not your team.

 

[Steven1562]

Vegas has made more finals than we have won a playoff series in the last 6 years.

Most teams lose in four or five when down 3-0. The mental strain of having no room for error is just so hard to overcome.

Now THAT'S depressing.

If either of these can't make a hockey market...

I'm just thankful to remember those trips to the Conference Finals.

Now THAT'S depressing.

Also the team that's up wants to finish the series asap, so there's extra motivation there.

Worst Final 4 ever, not just SCF.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

2-0 without Benn. 0-4 with him lol.
