Must win for both teams imo.

Carolina: coming back down 0-2 with three of the next four in Vegas is a tall task

Vegas: missed opportunity and series tied 1-1. Pressure now to win home games. If they lose this series, who knows when/if they get back.

I can't imagine the Canes losing this game. It's unfathomable. They will keep getting better as the series goes on and Vegas will need to try and stop that style of play.
 
I assume the Canes record after a loss is 100% given they never lose.

I'll pick them tonight and hope this goes to 7 for my own selfish entertainment.

It's neat to see both rosters to be honest. No Vezina goalies. No Norris D. Technically 1 Hart guy in Hall.

A coach many hate in Torts. A guy many never wanted back in Hart (not me).

Just 2 very solid teams that have laid waste on their way to the finals. Balanced lineups.

I will say having Stone and Hertl on line 3 is unreal depth.
 
If Vegas wins again today, Carolina is in serious trouble. I can see Carolina pushing to even up the series.
The two noticeable tendencies this playoffs has been OT games all ending the final 5 mins of OT and every team down 0-1 at home having to really really fight to win game 2. I can’t remember if a single one who got the second game got that win easily

I think this could be a low-scoring affair today. I was surprised the two teams scored nine last time. These two teams are pretty evenly-matched. They both seem very defensively strong. Carolina more forechecking. Vegas more opportunistic. I'm not sure how to describe Vegas' style of play since Tortorella became the head coach.

I have no dog in this fight but it always seems that Vegas finds a way. They do have great depth. That being said, Carolina are extremely well coached and did not make it easy for Vegas.

If I had to bet? Vegas wins....

I'm beyond neutral on this one. Only one Czech in Hertl so if Vegas wins, great! Oil fan so I want the Pacific to win.

Having said that, I slung shit at the Metro before playoffs and have Karma coming my way.lol

I do like the Canes and how they're built. If Taylor Hall could win a cup it would also be awesome!

Go hockey.lol
