Terrible matchup. Will probably end up one of the worst viewed Stamly Cup Finals in recent memory.

Imo this matchup is great for hockey. Ruthless management Vegas versus consistent and strategic management Carolina. Shows every team that tanking is not required to become a contender - just good management.

 

[MikeFolignosHelmet]

Marner Schmarner, the Canes will lock him down. Jack as well. Resistance is futile.

Would be cool to see the Canes go 16-1

16-0 would have been cooler but they had to take Game 1 off last series

 

[The Duck Knight]

Vegas in 6 hasn't failed me yet. This is going to be a long series for sure either way.

After seeing them dismantle my Habs with unsettling ease, I really hate the Canes.

But I'll still be rooting for them as I don't want to see Carter Hart's name on the Cup.

Terrible matchup. Will probably end up one of the worst viewed Stamly Cup Finals in recent memory.

Honestly probably for the best, there's like a 1% chance this series is at all entertaining. If people actually tuned in they'd probably never watch the sport again.

 

[SensFactor]

I got Canes in 7. Champs in 2006 and now in 2026.

 

[Whitesnake]

Congrats Canes. Deserve it obviously. You are finally there after a long wait. And I believe...you'll win this. Vegas will obviously be your toughest match. But you will suffocate them too.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

To quote myself:

If Vegas wins, Marner was good enough after all and the leafs are idiots.

If Carolina wins, Andersen was good enough after all and the leafs are idiots.

The most important question when it comes to all things NHL:

How does this affect the Leafs?

 

[Beach Music]

Five hole Freddie shows up Vegas in 6. Goaltending will be the factor .

At least with Freddie it’ll be consensual

 

[KevSkillz4]

Vegas in 3.

Come on guys, Vegas just win in 4 against Colorado.

Easy win for Vegas

 

[NYRnine94]

f*** Carolina

 

[Hippasus]

Gretzky thinks it's going to be depth versus depth. Both teams are pretty healthy.

 

[NYRnine94]

After seeing them dismantle my Habs with unsettling ease, I really hate the Canes.

But I'll still be rooting for them as I don't want to see Carter Hart's name on the Cup.

Nothing worse than seeing a fan root for the team that just beat them. Sad

I see two similarly structured teams, but Vegas has a little more fire power, better powerplay, and id say the better goalie. With that being said, Canes still have a real chance to take this series.

I’ll go Vegas in 6 as my vote.

 

[Chrispy]

Time to bribe @Summer Rose to the Carolina cause.

We may not have a stuffed Tusky, but I think we can find a stuffed Tulsky.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

We live in simulation so Vegas.

 

[Gains]

Since the NHL moved to four rounds of best-of-seven, I believe the best playoff record is still the 1988 Oilers at 16-2-1. The “1” was the power outage game that didn’t count in the standings anyway, so it’s essentially a 16-2 run.

Carolina has a legitimate shot at matching or surpassing that. If they do, we’d be talking about one of the greatest playoff performances ever.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

VGK better offense. Canes better defense. Both coaches excellent. Both goalies playing well. Plenty of veteran experience on both teams. Both teams quickly dispatched their opponents in the conference finals. No idea who will win. Should be a close series and a lot of fun to watch. Hopefully the previous sentence doesn't trigger the pink hats.

 

[Greatzsky 99]

Easy for Vegas, the poverty franchise can pack and go home

 

[Ducks in a row]

I am hoping Hurricanes beat Golden Knights
