Ya can laugh but VEGAS will win the cup !!

[GzaTheGenius]

Tampa in 5-

Lmao

TB played their best game of the series on Monday and lost

Devils are gonna make a run

[deltgen]

Las Vegas is good, but as a Penguins fan, Golden Knights supporters need to remember that Fleury is Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. That dude can stand on his head and shut out the best offenses just as easily as he can give up four goals in the first 12 minutes. I made a futures bet on Pittsburgh at +800 back in January, but Vegas can beat them--it all depends on which Fleury will show up.

Best game? Are you on drugs? They gave jersey 4 power plays in a row (3rd period)

I am high af no matter

They gave up one PP goal than Noesen slapped in a one timer from Hall to take the lead.. game ended right there basically

But yes up until maybe 10 minutes left in the 3rd it was their best game of the series

Nj will win tonight, probably will go 7

Not sure if Nj can win in Tampa but it should get there

Bro jersey got a good young team - they are 2-3 years away- very solid defense and physical play- Tampa got to much weapons on all 4 lines and a better goalie

Whatever team gets hot is gonna win the cup, I doubt it's either TB or NJ but ya never know

I have futures on Preds/TB/NJ from beginning of the playoffs so hoping one pulls through

I do think NJ wins tonight though

Gods plan got Vegas bro - they sweep a team not playing there style - (unreal)

Teams with zero playoff experience dont just waltz in and take the cup, it takes teams YEARS to gain experience and learn how to win deep into the playoffs

Teams like Pit, Bos, Nash will dismantle a young inexperienced Vegas squad over a 7 game series
In all honesty LA isnt even a playoff team and Vegas barely scored against them, You cant score 1-2 goals and expect to win against the top clubs.

Anything can happen !

Bro there’s a reason Vegas didn’t score - kings defense and quick was very good

[keely85]

This talking about not scoring goals as literally EVERY team in the EAST has conceded 5+ goals in a game so far and lost by 4-5 lol

Ill take vegas winning 1-0 and consistently over the nonsense currently going on in the east.

Pitt's def, for example, is going to catch up to them at some point. Even the Preds giving up goals consistently to the Avs.

Still, we're gonna get some legit 2nd round matchups and i am excited (would like to see the Caps somehow exercise their Pitt demons, but that's like hoping to win the lottery)

[lakerboy]

They are now co favorite to win the cup.

[hotcross]

You need to pay attention to the market

you'd be well served to pay a little less attention to the market (lines)

they're often wrong / way off, as you know

balance methods

[HurryUpAndDrink]

Agree... LVGK are a powerhouse

They sure are. They told me that Pittsburgh won't win the cup this year. Let's see

[hotcross]

Vegas closed at -125 to win their Round 1 series vs LA Kings right before game 1. Games played out to close scores, but series 4-0 sweep, not close to -125. Saw and heard from my sources a lot of people thinking Kings would win, or at least take it to 7 games before the series started....not even close in the end.

So my way of thinking, that series shoulda been priced at -150,-160, maybe higher on Vegas. It woulda generated even more action/bigger bets on the Kings. Maybe my thinking is off, but that's how I see it.

Side note, believe I saw you had TB/ANA in the finals in the betpoints challenge questions. Contests no big deal, but anyone would put their best guess, right? Line was way off on Anaheim too, thinking they'd make a competitive series with the Sharks, which they haven't. Both Anaheim goalies had nagging minor injuries going into the series, plus their experienced guys are aging, coupled with their young guys being inexperienced. LB what you said earlier today about Nashville is actually spot on description of the Ducks this year.

Line was right - all 4 games could of went either way - what I notice was kings dominating early and getting tired late in games -biggest shock was nobody thought Vegas can win this low scoring games - ( kings made every single game there style of hockey - they didn’t allow Vegas to push the tempo in any game - don’t let the 4-0 sweep foo you- games was close

[hotcross]

dude the Kings scored 3 goals in 4 games, getting shutout twice.

I said games were close scores, but that qualifies as a total azz whoopin

[keely85]

i dont think anyone gave many teams in the West much of a chance past Nashville...and now they're like the 3rd or 4th best team in my opinion.

Some would say kings didn’t get the lucky bounce - ass whooping is what the SHARKS are doing to the DUCKS (Quick and flurry was amazing goalies )

[hotcross]

^^^same thing, Anaheim has scored 3 goals going into game 4 tonight

Vegas is much faster than LA Kings and more 4-line depth

Kings never knowing for speed- they are big and physical- what’s alarming is that kings was able to make Vegas play there brand of hockey and couldn’t win 1 game - Vegas plays a wide open hockey brand

[Rich Boy]

Kings are pathetic honestly, dont even know how they made the playoffs

All of their players are old and slow and not very hungry to win anymore as they all have multiple cups

Vegas will get smacked by SJ next round just watch.

They were just in the finals 2 years ago. Did you live there then?

[Slipknot26]

Nothing to see here , youngster bandwagon jumper . Seems every big run in sports you pop up a thread of GOAT status .
Same shit with Michigan , Nova beat them within an inch of their lives .
Now it's Vegas turn.
One will come true at some point in time , then "I told you" will start .

[ikid2groove415]

Did they win ?

That was their old pedigree but since they got rid of perennial pussies like Marleau they have become much tougher. The addition of Kane gives them the edge but I still think Winnipeg or Nash will come out of the west.

Playoff hockey is all about physicality as you get deeper, the biggest most physical players will hold up the best. Its a war of attrition.

I live in Canada son, you dont know shit about hockey.

Relax I know my fair amount - Sharks had better teams that lost

[ikid2groove415]

Reason I like Vegas is because they weren’t able To play there game and still won ? Not going sit here and lie- I had the kings moving forward- I know kings offense was really bad but there defense and quick was insanely good -

[lakerboy]

Did they win ?

So getting there and losing to the clearly better team was choking?

[ikid2groove415]

They have choke before winning the president cup and getting bounce early In the playoffs

[ikid2groove415]

Let’s not forget the choke vs the kings few years back being up 3-0?

[lakerboy]

They have choke before winning the president cup and getting bounce early In the playoffs

They will be dogs next round.

[keely85]

So much for the devils tonight gza

Don’t sleep on the jets this year. Preds don’t seem to be the defensive team they were last year .
