State of Florida - great tradition of hockey... I am gonna throw up. Completely astroturfed.

While Betman did give them a headstart, kudos to Vegas management team to sustain that momentum
They are utterly ruthless. They have one goal, to ice an winning team that wants to win the cup
Nothing else

They took chances in players with so called attitude and injuries that other teams wouldn't. Eichel. Who led the team in scoring in playoffs
They went out got Pietreangelo and Hanifin

Walked away from Marchessault when he was their all time leading scorer. It was time to move on

Brad McCrimmon is a heck of a gm and hockey mind.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Was thinking the scoring chances were probably about the same, but the grade A chances favored Vegas and stats indicate that.

Yeah Leafs had like one good scoring chance in the latter half of the period (Jarnkrok one timer)

Meanwhile, Vegas had multiple breakaways and odd man rushes

McDavid wants to come home to Toronto. That's all I heard

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Looks like our Woll is broken

It's almost like they get a discount on contracts or something.

They get a "discount" on officiating as well.

The Marner shot in the slot is also one, but Vegas had better chances than those. Even the Howden one while is a weak goal, it was still a good chance at the net.

It'll change when LarryT and Bell are gone. I prefer having one company to point the finger at. These guys just shift blame while the results are lacking.

 

[DarkKnight]

Yikes.

 

[wingman75]

So fitting. Knies set the tone, and the top players wither and die. Typical and zero percent surprising.

 

[CincoHolio]

I'm out

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Gg go next

 

[thewave]

Wow

Yeah it'll be the same owner that has let two doofuses mismanage the Jays for nearly 10 years.

 

[likecheese]

Why are Rielly and OEL both in the same corner, what a fustercluck.

 

[Schennanigans]

Goodnight.

 

[ToneDog]

Top line and 44 should have sat this one out.

So true. And they are so bad too. Like really bad. Really really bad.

 

[fahad203]

Men vs boys

 

[9Iron]

That would be the end of that.

 

[Aashir]

tampa in 6 here we come !!!!!

 

[Smif]

Just curious, who made this thread because the stats for both teams are completely wrong...
