So I may need your help...

Looks like it's gonna be the Caps.

They won't be easy but honestly they've been beating Tampa primarily with neutral zone breakdowns by Tampa. When set up in the zone their offensive chances are pretty weak. I like our chances if our defense stays focused.

When do tickets go on sale? Ticketmster just takes me to the resale site.

Thank you! Costing out a visit to join you fellas

 

[HanSolo]

It's almost poetic that they'd be our first opponents for me. Knights-Caps was my first VGK game I went to. Ended 3-0 for Vegas.

No matter who wins, we get an interesting parade route.

Does the Vegas parade head down the strip? Gotta, right?
Does the Capitals parade head past the White House, the Capitol, etc?

 

[Bart9349]

Should be a good series. "Capitals, come out to play. Capitals."

 

[Pirate Deadpool]

I really hope we can win it all and in 5 to save money on tickets

 

[Knotty Moog]

This Final is going to be epic. I have been watching all of your post season games and Vegas is legit

Im rooting for you guys.

Signed, a Bruins fan who dosn't care about all that bullshit how an expansion team shouldn't win the cup.

Whatever you do, don't get a Vegas avatar!

 

[Machinehead]

Whatever you do, don't get a Vegas avatar!

Just don't let that scorge of the earth franchise have the Cup!

 

[missionAvs]

Alrighty fellas. I know the bandwagon is probably full by now but I'm pulling for you guys. Also, not to put additional pressure on the Knights but I have an avatar bet with another forum member that Vegas wins. If all else, win the cup for my forum dignity!

Won't be easy.

Go Knights

 

[VegasKnightlife]

Won't be going to the game but will be in Vegas for game 1 Sunday and Monday night. So pumped to see the atmosphere. Hope Knights win.

 

[HanSolo]

Lol the cheapest StubHub tickets for a Monday night game are like 830 dollars. Hard pass. I'll stand out side the arena with a smile on my face.

Doing my research on the Knights v Caps in the regular season. (Knights won series 2-0.) Good memories:

Here we go, boys!

 

[LadyStanley]

BTW, need gdt Monday and Wednesday. Who'll do it?

 

[Say Hey Kid]

All of the pressure is on the Caps.

 

[Bart9349]

Hard to believe: Meaningful hockey in Las Vegas in June ... with home ice advantage.

Let the George McPhee bowl begin. (GMGM was GM of the Caps 1997-2014. He acquired Ovechkin in the 2004 draft for the Caps.)

 

[KnishOfTheCrease]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[CupInSIX]

Just like in the Jets series, Wilson's another big, physical guy that's played a ton of hard minutes. Will he be able to keep up with the pace, or will the Capitals dictate the pace for stretches?

I can't see any other Capital slowing down except guys like DSP and Orpik.

People say they're used to a quick team like the Lightning, but they didn't really move the puck well in that series. They didn't make them skate like the Knights can.

Oshie looks banged up & Backstrom's not been himself, but we'll need to contain Burakovsky's & Vrana's speed. Other than the first line, those are the guys who will need to make a difference if the Caps want to win.
