I tried to get Vegas tickets and was in the queue 45 mins before they went on sale, but when my turn came up, there was nothing left. Of course there are scalper tickets available but I'm not willing to pay that much. I do see that Florida has lots of tickets left, perhaps because they seem to have priced them higher than Vegas tickets.Good luck to the "average" fan getting a seat in Vegas for the SCF. And, yeah, if you are wondering, the sky-high ticket prices are primarily caused by the casinos buying up tickets to comp theirsuckershigh rollers who may or may not have the slightest interest in hockey but are going to the SCF because ..... well, because. BTW, they'll also be wearing expensive Knights jerseys, which the casinos will also comp them. I mean, if a guy is going to drop $100,000 or more at the tables, he's going to at least get club seats and jerseys for himself and wifey (even if they are old stock jerseys that say "Fleury" since he probably doesn't know the difference anyway).

Please change the thread title. It is not the "Finals". It is the "Stanley Cup Final".
We all call the Western Conference Final just that. The combination of the WCF and ECF are the Conference Finals. As in there are two of them.
There is only one series remaining. One series to decide the Stanley Cup winner.
That series is the Stanley Cup Final.

I don't know why so many people are picking Florida. I guess it's the narrative?
The main reason why VGK's goalie numbers were so okay over the regular season is the same key for them to win this series: they played more 5 v 5 than anyone else. Few PPOA means fewer % SOG when PKing, which means a higher overall SV%.
Florida's strategy has got to be the opposite - goad VGK into a special teams battle. That's a high-risk high-reward strategy.
The refs play a huge role for the Florida strategy. Florida is going to play on the edge. If the refs allow them to cross the line, and force Vegas to respond instead of calling deserved penalties, it's going to be a long, bloody tossup of a series. I hope that doesn't happen, but I'm resigned to the fact that there's a good chance it will happen.

Can’t wait for this one to start. I believe the Panthers have a lot of skill and deserve to be here and will be a tough battle for the Knights. Obviously im pulling for the home team, but i am very happy we have a new cup winner this year regardless of the result

With a ten day rest, the Wings win in 2009. 
This will be a very close series. I see at least three OTs.

I've been a Vegas fan since their inauguration season because it was a great story. Currently I like their playing style, and I love Marchessault.
Oh, and -- F Florida (just like F Texas before)! It's Knight time.

You all can put all your reverse jinxes and sour milk away for the season, both these teams are 100% deserving to be in the position they are both in. Gonna be one hell of a series.

I will be at game 3, my first SCF game. Grew up in sunrise so when the opportunity came to come home for the festivities I took it. Cats in 4 so I can stay for the parade!

I do it often enough, heck usually I whip out the opposite days GDTs in November on an Eastern Road Trip when the team decides to stay home

We are trying to exorcise many demons from our past, these are not your regular Panthers, it's different this time, don't know why but I have full faith.

But how can we make it more accessible for Canadian players to be in that position though?
Not the Vegas players, who gave up drinking alcohol other than during their hockey games because they found it was hurting their golf games. By the time training camp rolls around, they'll have been completely dry for a couple of months.
These Knights are total beasts in terms of nutrition and training to keep their golf games at their absolute peaks. It's only at hockey games where they take it easy and slap back a few.
