May 30, 20232 yr Author Florida face fucks Vegas in 5. The east was likely always going to win this year. I don't see that changing now.They might. Panthers have run the gauntlet and have been able to sit back and relax for 10 days or so between games.
June 4, 20232 yr No one around here cares with baseball on, but still can't believe this shit didn't start until tonight.
June 4, 20232 yr LmfaonJFC these Vegas home games a trip. The PA song guy can’t shut the fuck up and just started blaring stone cold Steve Austin’s intro song Just transitioned that to prodigy’s smack my bitch up lmao
June 4, 20232 yr That defensive play by Stone on Tkachuk was amazing. Hill has been unbeliveable in these playoffs.
June 4, 20232 yr Author That defensive play by Stone on Tkachuk was amazing. Hill has been unbeliveable in these playoffs. They did as well as could be expected on McDavid and Draisatl in Round 2 too. I’ve said it before, maybe on the Stars thread, maybe here but Vegas is
June 6, 20232 yr Author That was a clean ass hit, and Tkachuk gets a 10? What the fuck?!For fighting after, I’m sure.

June 12, 20232 yr Author I haven't seen a single second of the last two games but it certainly appears that Vegas has this all but over. I doubt the Knights fiddle-fuck around in this Game 5 like they did in the WCF and they'll skate the Cup at home tomorrow night.
June 14, 20232 yr Author I think this is where Florida's overachieving streak ends.Tkachuk is their mojo too.Vegas is rolling now.
June 14, 20232 yr 5-1 Vegas with 3 minutes to go in the 2nd period. Game, series, cup. Florida is done.
June 14, 20232 yr Author Who wins Conn Smythe? Marchesseault? Eichel? He hasn’t scored a goal since the second round but is a playmaker. Stone or Stephenson? Maybe Karlsson? Wasn’t he an OG Knight? Hill? I feel like their defense won the last round. Who would you single out there?

He also has 23 points in 21 games. He’s played unbelievably.
June 14, 20232 yr cheap bastard that I am, all I can see with all those hats is $35+ being thrown away.
June 14, 20232 yr Author Marchesseault wins Conn Smythe. First undrafted player to win the award since …. Wayne Gretzky.

June 14, 20232 yr Tkachuk out for game 5 meant Florida was done. It was announced post game 5 that Tkachuk suffered a fractured sternum in game 3...and still played 16+ minutes in game 4. Maurice said there was just too much pain for Tkachuk to go in game 5.
June 14, 20232 yr I guess last year was an exception, but it seems like lately the Stanley Cup just goes to the team that is least decimated by injuries and the Finals are really kind of anti-climactic.

I don’t know about that necessarily. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are certainly a grind and key injuries can definitely doom a team’s chances but the last batch of champions includes Vegas, Colorado, Tampa X 2, St. Louis, Washington, Pittsburgh X 2, Chicago, the Kings, Chicago, Boston, etc. Now some of their opponents were not expected to get there — the Stars, for one — and I think the Kings won their first Cup coming from the #8 seed.
June 15, 20232 yr no hockey sucks. non-horns baseball is not an option. summer sports lull is for the birds

Yeah, I think Vegas was very much a deserving Champion. I saw them 3 times lives against Dallas (Game 2, 4 and 6) and even though I thought we outplayed them overall in games 2 and 4 I still felt they were the better team walking out of the arena both games. Obviously game 6 they left no doubt. And hard to say they weren't impacted with injuries considering they were playing a 3rd string goalie the entire playoff run. That would destroy most teams but the Vegas defense was elite. Hill played out of his mind at times and probably made himself some money but the Vegas D made it relatively easy on him. If, for example, Hill would have been playing for the Stars, we probably don't make it out of the first round.
