I haven’t been less interested in a Stanley Cup final since the horrible trap zone days. Think Dallas vs. New Jersey.

New Jersey, period, from that era.

Vegas in 5 or 6.
I think Bob cools off a bit, or at least touches above average goalieing

CROJAM95

Florida in 6
on a mission 

Jumb0

Vegas in 6. 

As a Predators fan this Panthers run gives me eerily similar vibes to the 2017 playoffs

F Tkachuk.   Got what he deserved and hurt his team at the same time last night.  I can't stand that guy...no denying he is a good player but he is just such a prick.

The apple doesn't fall from the tree with him, he has way better offensive skill than his old man but in terms of being a prick on the ice he is just like him

No one can one-up the Lemieux family (Claude, not Mario).

good to know. all I knew was he was a good player. as a VGK fan, I can now properly hate him.

it ain’t over yet, but I figured (hoped) bobrovsky might cool off over the layoff and it appears he did.

Now that was an old school Norris division hit! I love how both sides were like "yup good hit, keep your head up Eichel!"

Could have been so bad, he was able to turn his head just enough after the toe pick. Also Tkachuk didn't pull up at all when he saw him falling, nice guy

so fucking tired of hearing about tkachuk and seeing him doing the steph curry to his mouthpiece. hopefully, VGK ends this on tuesday.

Plus the end of last nights game the panthers fans were pretty obnoxious. Let's throw plastic bottles and plastic rats on the ice. Didn't the rat thing happen like 25-30 years ago? Get over it! Also I prefer their original jerseys to the current ones. I thought that one was pretty badass.

the ones with the palm trees are atrocious. panthers fans had zero reason to be upset. it was only close because of a ridiculously lucky goal.

Golden Knights game to lose.  they are kicking some bit and playing extremely well tonight.

It's a pathetic effort by the Panthers.  Vegas is a solid team, not some all timer of a squad.  Panthers have just been awful.  

Hill has played great when he needed to though.

Wobbie

Fuck yeah!

South Florida was the center of the sports universe…until they weren’t.

and mrussell? They’re pretty fucking good. they steamrolled everyone. every line can beat you.

Sucks to root for Vegas, but I just can't stand Tk.
Good for them, they earned it

who are the “all timers”? are we talking teams with crosbys, ovechkins, gretzkys? obviously, any team with an all time talent is going to be memorable. I won’t argue vegas is in any way an all time squad….I seriously doubt they’ll win another cup with this squad….it’s just too hard and hockey can be so random….that said, they’re good.

#1 priority is to get rid of shitty goal tender and all around turd, robin lehner.

Didn't nail this one.
