Stanley Cup Finals: (WC2) Florida Panthers vs (P1) Vegas Golden Knights | VGK Lead 3-1

[willy702]

I am just glad many of these Vegas fans and players had to experience pain first. I was not happy with the thought of them winning in 2018, they have at least had to pay dues now if they do it this time and 10 or more of these guys were there in 2018. Smith/Marchessault are gonna get booed though in games 3/4/6

I thought everyone said Bettman gave all these great players to Vegas so its all rigged? Now you are going to boo them. CLASSY!

Feels like this is the final stage of punishment from the hockey gods for the Buffalo tank years.

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

Interesting. According to the polls Vegas has been the dog in every single round. Just like in this one: „Garçon, serve some crow to table 3, please.“

Vegas in 7

You always come through, HFBoards. Vegas needs to not be believed in to succeed, and you are widely predicting Flariduh to take it. Thank you!!!!!

Feels like this is the final stage of punishment from the hockey gods for the Buffalo tank years.

Cheering for that Coyotes overtime goal at home in 2015 doomed us all to a decade of pain.

These are the final lashes

I dont like being the favorite, please change your votes

In other words, youcanthanzalthetruth too?

 

[EichHart]

A lot of ex Sabres on this team. Go panthers

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

The chances of Hill outplaying Bob in the final is slim to none. He just needs to match him save for save and Bob has been lights out. I bet Bob steals 2 games.

And for fun, tell us what were the chances he was going to outplay Oettinger in this round?

Cats are team of destiny!

I’ve picked against Florida all playoffs and been wrong so I’m gonna pick them in 7 here

I've picked them all playoffs but I think this is where it ends. Too long of a layoff, ridiculous they aren't playing until Saturday.

Hill doesnt need to outplay Bob for Vegas to win this. Vegas has one of the best goalie protection schemes I have seen, when they are playing it to effect.

I voted Panthers in 4 and Vegas in 6 last round

Voting Panthers in 7 this time

 

[IceNeophyte]

I voted Vegas in 7. I need to look back and see my vote for dal series.

 

[bert]

If Karlsson and Pietrangelo can contain Tkachuk, Florida stands no chance. I don’t see Barkov kicking it up into high gear, he’s been pretty underwhelming. Florida is here because of two players, Bob and Tkachuk.

The 10 day layoff is going to help Barkov I think. But for a hot goalie it's a worst case scenario.

I voted Vegas in 7. I need to look back and see my vote for dal series.

I voted Dallas in 4, granted I made that vote after game 2

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Not sure. I feel like Vegas is the stronger team on paper, but the Panthers feel like they have "team of destiny" vibes written all over them.

Do we go with the rational pick or the magic pick?

 

[IceNeophyte]

I voted Dallas in 4, granted I made that vote after game 2

I voted Dallas in 6, looking back

 

[ChanceVegas]

I voted Vegas in 7. I need to look back and see my vote for dal series.

So far I have nailed every one. Don't know how, don't care.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

What a deadly finals... Love it

 

[hangman005]

 

[HanSolo]

I have no f***ing idea anymore. If Vegas plays with this kind of killer instinct in the Finals, it can be a real interesting series. Otherwise, fingers crossed the magic wore off for Bob with all that time off.

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

I think Vegas wins this. Florida has not been 2012 Kings in terms of dominating opponents, they are riding goaltending and clutch goalies. In the past that cinderella type run ran out in finals. I'm sold on Vegas with how well the 2018 guys are playing plus the star additions.

 

[pb1300]

I’ve picked against Florida all playoffs and been wrong so I’m gonna pick them in 7 here

Could you please take Vegas in 7 then

Since Foley missed so badly in his first prediction of Playoffs in 3, lets's see how his second prediction works out.

Playoffs In 3, Cup In 6; A Mantra Better Off Believed Than Doubted - SinBin.vegas

It's a saying that shouldn't be new to Golden Knights fans, players, and especially George McPhee, "Playoffs in three, Cup in six." A mantra that dates back on record as far as February 2016, and one that in the mind of the man behind it probably dates back to the moment he first thought about...
