The same folks that had the Jets knocking us out. Yawn.

Definitely a different set of challenges compared to the Kings. I just hope the zebras don't determine the outcome. May the best team win, good luck Vegas!

So no powerplays for either team right?

Equal PP's for each team. If Vegas can keep their hands/feet/other objects to themselves im down for 5v5 all game, maybe ocassional 4v4 for some extra spice

Equal PPs isn't it very fair.... have you seen our Power play How about equal power plays, but McDavid and Drai will only play the powerplay one handed

Edmonton average size 6'2 --- Average weight 203 --- Average age --- 28.25

Vegas average size 6'2 --- Average weight 202 --- Average age --- 28.10

I like seeing the weight and experience advantage for the Oil, possibly the deciding factor for the series?

Lol heavy underdogs in the media and the HF series thread. That thread would make for hilarious reading if the Knights do win out.

why? Cant be a Canadian

Because canadians are required to root for other canadian teams by default?

yes

 

[IceNeophyte]

yes

Maybe the sheer arrogance and sense of entitlement Leafs and Oil fans display embarrasses them as countrymen?
