SCF Game 2: Florida Panthers Vs Vegas Golden Knights | 8:00PM ET 5:00PM PT | TNT, TBS, TRUTV, CBC, SN, TVAS

[MessierII]

No one should be surprised Vegas is the better team. Florida needed Bob to stay in God mode to get it done and it seems he’s cooled down. Ironically reminds me of Vegas’ run in 2018. Fleury was god mode through 3 rounds where they beat some better teams but he came back to earth vs the caps.

 

[Panteras]

I'm guessing Florida's plan for the off-season is to use their newly cleared cap space on defense ?

yup that's been the plan since before this season. This was supposed to be a retool year. It's actually a miracle we made it this far. Hope we can at least win 1 game and it would be a very successful season.

 

[robertocarlos]

We're not even supposed to be here. Not to ruin the haters fun, but our expectations were much lower than this this year.

Your SC was the first round.

 

[Dr Beinfest]

Vegas has just been so good and the Panthers have no answer

I mean it’s hard to answer sincerely when you’re in a 4 goal hole that early. Don’t think watching anything after 0-4 is a reasonable assessment.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Cmon dude. A healthy Ekblad is a good player.

A healthy Ekblad was still slow without a fast dman covering for him. Campbell, Yandle, now Forsling. This year, he's behind Forsling, Montour, and Gudas, as far as key dmen. It's fortunate that he's better than Staal and Mahura is still adjusting to the show. Why Fitzy is dressed is on PoMo.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Well, even I can't deny the meme potential if Florida got swept in 4. Repeat of 1996 lol.

Meh we had a really good year and knocked off 3 insufferable fanbases, this is just gravy.

 

[soothsayer]

The West is weak compared to the East. . . lol

 

[zeykshade]

Let’s all thank Bob for getting hot for a couple of weeks and gifting us a horrible final.
Any three of their opponents would have provided a much better SCF.

LOL. Please. Knights would absolutely smoke the Leafs and Devils. Only CAR would hang with them on hustle but would still get bodied because they have dick for finish due to no Pacioretty or Svechnikov and they're far too perimeter to make Hill's work heavy or difficult.

Yeah sure, but it would suck nonetheless to go all the way to Finals in lose

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

But HF Canucks favourite Gustov Forsling is having a ‘good year’

Actually he seems like one of the few that have actually defended.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Your SC was the first round.

And the second and third. But, having said that, there's still games to play.

 

[HofT]

yup that's been the plan since before this season. This was supposed to be a retool year. It's actually a miracle we made it this far. Hope we can at least win 1 game and it would be a very successful season.

I agree. Florida is only here because of the refs. But they're not helping them now.

 

[Dr Beinfest]

Your SC was the first round.

Every game’s a gift but also like relax, it’s game 2.

 

[HanSolo]

I was hoping for exactly this to shut the Vegas haters up, assuming this is the way it goes, which is still in question.

However, I would like a fun series that will go down in the hockey history books as one of the best ever, with a VGK win.

But I’ll take the VGK cup, if that’s what I get.

Yeah I don't care how we get it as long as we get it. I'm still partially not hoping for the sweep. Game 4 is smack dab in the middle of a friend's wedding I'm going to. But then again you won't catch me dead rooting for a Vegas loss in this series.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

I’m going to be 33 in July and I’m really about to witness the Vegas Golden Knights win a Stanley cup before my Islanders.

I guess it’s better than Leaf’s fans approaching 60 who will see VGK win a cup before the leafs.

I was a kid in 1970 when the Canucks entered the league. I've paid my dues as a fan. Can't say the same for Vegas fans. I don't blame them for anything.. They just haven't.

 

[BattleBorn]

Okaaaaaay

It’s a game

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

It's a positive.

Get another one and you just gotta tell yourself to settle down and play and you know you can pot 3

 

[William H Bonney]

Cmon dude. A healthy Ekblad is a good player.

Still doesn't make him a #1, especially on a Florida team like this whose defensive group is poor and lacks depth.

Ekblad became grossly overrated based on putting up a lot of points on a prolific team last season. He's a first pair defenseman but he needs a stout partner. He's not capable of carrying a pair by himself like Florida asks him to do.

 

[Drakon]

LOL. Please. Knights would absolutely smoke the Leafs and Devils. Only CAR would hang with them on hustle but would still get bodied because they have dick for finish due to no Pacioretty or Svechnikov and they're far too perimeter to make Hill's work heavy or difficult.

Who knows, match-ups are a thing.

 

[dechire]

Damn nice goal. More of that next game please

 

[forsbergavs32]

I mean it’s hard to answer sincerely when you’re in a 4 goal hole that early. Don’t think watching anything after 0-4 is a reasonable assessment.

Game 1 was closer but Vegas still was the better team.

 

[Jacob]

Tkachuk making sure he gets credit for that.

 

[Felidae]

Meh we had a really good year and knocked off 3 insufferable fanbases, this is just gravy.

Yeah I mean, my expectations were on the ground so I've just been enjoying the ride since the Boston upset.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Now do that 4 more times, Chucky. And be sure to have fun while doing it.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Yeah sure, but it would suck nonetheless to go all the way to Finals in lose

Nah, I've watched this team lose for years. Seeing them this competitive in the playoffs is a win on a year we all thought was a retool.
