Hey PoMo how many goals did you give up in the game tonight to lose series in 5 and not even sniff the cup

Not enough fingers. 9 goals now

 

[BertCorbeau]

LOL

Imagine being down 3-1 in the Cup Finals .. and you give up 9 goals.

 

[Stephen]

Florida really earned their beat down...

Might want to add another finger.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Congrats to Vegas. A team that is willing do anything and trade anyone to get the job done.

Yep. Gotta be ruthless sometimes to achieve the ultimate goal. Wish more teams were like that.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Congrats Vegas. Get absolutely f***ed Florida.

 

[BertCorbeau]

This is shades of Montreal making it to the Finals on the back of Price a few years ago only to get easily hammered in the Cup Finals

 

[Burnie97]

What a shit show of a Stanley cup final. Good on Vegas but lol... hopefully it's way better next year.

 

[Superstar]

Why is Maurice still leaving Bob in there? His GAA must be nice after this game.

 

[Kurtz]

9-3. Absolute humiliation for Florida. Wow.

 

[Buds17]

Vegas would have to be arguably the best team of all time if you don't think Bob fell off.

Florida was on a 11-1 heater heading into the finals. If we're ignoring Bobrovsky and assuming he's played at the same level this entire series - then Vegas is a 16-0 team.

However, all the metrics show Bobrovsky is below average this series - versus the record setting pace he was putting in the second and third rounds.

I completely agree that Bobrovsky fell off...and facing a certain level/quality of opposition has a way of contributing to that. I'd say that Toronto made a stellar goalie in Vasilevskiy look human in Round 1.

Will Bettman get booed by these fans?

 

[leafsfan5]

I'm just so glad we kept our legendary coach Sheldon Keefe instead of pursuing Bruce Cassidy last summer

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

LOL

Damn they almost matched our series total vs the Panthers in one game lol

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

He's such an awful skater but just plays with a bite and emotion level we couldn't ever hope to get out of 91.

Something to keep in mind when debating whether to bring back ROR given his age and lack of foot speed?

 

[BertCorbeau]

I'm just so glad we kept our legendary coach Sheldon Keefe instead of pursuing Bruce Cassidy last summer

This is a fair point

 

[Phion Keneuf]

What a joke of a crowd lol

 

[robertmac43]

Yep. Gotta be ruthless sometimes to achieve the ultimate goal. Wish more teams were like that.

I wonder if more teams end up following suit.

Yep .. except you have to compliment him with the right players. Not an equally as slow Tavares

 

[Stephen]

LOL

Couldn't have happened to a worse bunch of players. Happy to see them get their doors blown off in such humiliating fashion.

 

[The Masters]

Another ex-Ottawa Senators player! Jeez they have had their fair share of amazing players.

u think if he played in the Soo, Dubas would have traded for him?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Yep .. except you have to compliment him with the right players. Not an equally as slow Tavares

They’re both slow but they were menaces together down low in the offensive zone. Had they kept Mitch as a linemate instead of forcing AM&MM who knows what might’ve been.

 

[MSZ]

Keefe will be in the HoF just for his vastly superior regular season winning percentage. lol

 

[Stephen]

Is Bennett going to punch anyone in the lineup?

 

[BertCorbeau]

I never thought I would be okay with Vegas winning a cup .. yet here we are
