Series Talk: Around the NHL - 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs - Conference Final

[PlamsUnlimited]

If Tampa loses, we riot

To go back to your last post, he’s got strong AV “I’m smarter than everyone” stuff goin on

He is smarter than AV though.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

Miller has main some brain dead passes

JT is so dumb sometimes. He did the "pass up the high percentage shot to do something unexpected" thing in the first period

 

[haohmaru]

Washington was the better team for pretty much the entire 60 minutes. Unexpected.

 

[MartyOwns]

Yes. Assuming that first rounder will be in the late 20s, it's not that special

that’s incredible to me

For all the talk of G being so much better now I didn’t see him connect on a single outlet pass all game

It's pretty much just that he's on a stacked team that's one of the favorites to win the Stanley Cup, and his raw corsi #'s are better this year. But the last time I checked his relative #'s are still bad. He didn't have some grand epiphany in his game, he's just surrounded by much better players with a better game plan

Barely, and that's not saying much

 

[Edge]

So in the end, it’s the Capitals who are selfish.

Typical D.C. insiders.

I thought we traded them AV too watching them last night. Came out like they just met each other and didn't crack 10 shots through two periods. Looked real familiar.

Drain the rink! Drain the rink!

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Can't wait for the game tonight. I have high hopes on seeing some ridiculously intense, high-quality and tough hockey.

Should be interesting to see if Vegas keeps rolling against a better team than they’ve played so far

I'm not optimistic. The Pacific division wasn't great this year.

I don't know, they have some inexplicable mojo about them.

 

[FultonReed]

I've liked Winnipeg for a few years now. just needed to shore up the bottom pair D and Goalie spots and they're as good as anyone. adding Stastny was a brilliant move. forced Bryan Little down to the 3C spot. really excited to see how this game play out tonight

Winnipeg takes this series in 4 or 5 games. My pick right now to win the Cup.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Vegas has to slow things down here. I can't even imagine the noise in that tiny building.

Very possible. Tampa is capable of beating them but they haven't played well. I don't give Vegas or Washington much of a chance.

 

[trilobyte]

Seriously misguided challenge by Maurice.

 

[Irishguy42]

Oh whoops. Thought this game started at 8pm.

Eek

 

[trilobyte]

I am eating my words now, ha. I rarely feel that sure about these, and boy was I wrong.

 

[Gresch04]

How is that not reviewed for being kicked in?!? Absolutely no goal.

 

[mike14]

Couple of bad breaks for Vegas. they'd just got back into the game after being dominated early and then get called for a pretty weak penalty tat lead to a PP goal. I'm not convinced goal 3 should have counted either. Will be interesting see whether they can get back into this

 

[Tawnos]

It was reviewed for being kicked in. And he didn’t kick it in.
