The Vegas fairytale ends in the first round

Lol you must be joking man. Crosby is good enough

I know Crosby is one of the best players currently, but if you compare his 1st 10+ seasons he’s half the player Wayne Gretzky was as far as goals, assists, & points. A complete shell of him.

Well I think we can say that about almost every player who has ever played.

Have the Vegas series pending. Current odds offered +485 LA Kings / -515 Vegas. Not going to hedge. Game 3 tonight in about an hour in Los Angeles. Beginning to think Vegas might sweep them. Everybody was thinking this would be a 7 game series. The scores were close so far in Vegas....kinda beat the Kings at their own style game.

Drew Doughty (LA Kings) was suspended for game 2 but will be back tonight. That was a significant suspension, and for the most part, knowledgeable people thought it should not be a suspension for the hit, but close call.....to me this has been a theme I've seen thru the season with Vegas getting a lot of breaks in their favor.


Kings vs. Golden Knights - the other thing to understand is these teams are division rivals. Vegas being their first season, this playoff series is establishing some real heated feelings between the two franchises.

& He’s the best player we have brewing in the league was my point. Ovechkin is probably a decent comparison to Jaromír Jágr which was like a top 5 player in the 80-90’s era. The stars of today have absolutely diminished as far as production was my angle.

I know what you mean. Gretzky era was goals galore

Heavy pressure on those Kings to get a win in this marketplace.

I say they fold to the pressure tonight and Vegas wins again.

game probably gonna get dirty as it goes into 2nd period

expecting a lot of penalties

Guys so desperate to see la lose

I just want to see a better game. Both teams too busy high sticking to play real hockey. It'd be one thing if the defense was good... So far it's just bad hockey.

Up 3-0 now Vegas can't possible choke right?

Yeah but watch the goalies in the Gretzky era. Looks like a different sport.

Vegas charmed

Loser here for us King’s series backers

Valid argument point !

see the difference more clearly now between "being desperate" vs having actual knowledge of the teams and situation?

when is the last time you watched a few hockey games, serious question? be honest

its apparent you spend most of your capping effort trying to read lines, at least in this sport, at the present time. Don't be offended - take an honest assessment....unless you are purposely/secretly on the other side of the hockey picks you have posted. Nobody wins 'em all, but you even chimed in after one game last week with some comment to the effect of "the jinx worked"...not a good look if you wish to be taken seriously.

I am not master of this myself. Would like to see you do better than what your hockey picks have looked like here lately, sincerely, because your bankroll is taking a pounding and I want you to be winning.

great game by vegas

City loves it's Golden Knights! Momentum definitely on their side.

You can't compare anyone to Wayne, but you do realize how inflated stats were back then right? No different than when Bill Russel was grabbing 27 rebounds a game.... There's a 0% chance he could do that in today's NBA. Gretzky wouldn't score that many goals in today's game. The goalies are simply too good.
