Vegas Golden Knights Defeat LA Kings 4-0 and Advance to Western Conference Semi Finals

[Richard]

That goal James Neal scored in game 3 was the series. Quick has to stop that.

 

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

This team is so fun to watch, well coached and what a series by MAF!

 

[KOPITARRULEZ11]

Was protecting Forbort over McNabb worth it LA? LMAO

Yes salary cap wise couldn't afford to keep him

 

[1989]

Kings got out-Kinged by the Knights.

Checkmate.

I mean, in terms of chess, knights >>>> kings, really.

 

[vippe]

This is really really cool.

Are the Jets/Wild up next?

I think there's a legit chance that Vegas might go to the wc finals.

 

[illpucks]

Vegas can beat the Jets and advance to the SCF

 

[1967th Heaven]

All I heard pre playoffs were "experts" saying they didn't stand a chance against the Kings. Didn't have the talent to match Kopitar and Doughty etc. Etc.

One lesson that seemingly has to be retaught time and again since October.... Never. Doubt. Vegas.

 

[IDuck]

Yeahhhh...ducks arnt the first team eliminated... But they will be the 2nd....

Congratz Vegas... I think you are now hated by every other teAm in the Pacific... Welcome aboard

 

[dechire]

I've been rooting on Vegas all year so I'm not that surprised that they won the series but I am very impressed with how they shut things down in really tight games.

 

[JeremyTB]

Did Ron Maclean just say alot of people would have picked the Kings to win the stanley cup?? WTF

 

[illpucks]

Vegas is in a class of their own. They look like the Pens of last 2 seasons

 

[tny760]

lol kings got swept by an expansion team.

lots of teams got embarrassed by the knights this season so have a look in the mirror

 

[mouz135]

Hahahaha

Good job, Knights! Keep the wagon rolling

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Most amazing display of goaltending by someone who's team got swept I've ever seen.

 

[saffronleaf]

vegas vs. sj -- who ya got?

 

[c9777666]

As for the Kings...... boy, they drew the short straw.

They played well enough at times, so this isn't like the other Pacific team down 3-0.

If you told me they would hold Vegas to 7 goals in 4 games, I'd honestly think they'd be up 3-1 or tied 2-2.

Quick plays that well and they lose.......... man.

How badly do you think LA wishes they had drawn Anaheim instead?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

The better team surely won, and were more adaptable to the situations.

MAF stood tall when he needed to most, early in games 3 and 4, and at key moments late.

Congrats.

 

[Syckle78]

Holy crap. What an inaugural season...just wow.

 

[illpucks]

Did Ron Maclean just say alot of people would have picked the Kings to win the stanley cup?? WTF

Maybe because last time Kings were done 3-0 in round 1 they won the cup

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Disney is writing the script for the movie as we speak.

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Round of applause for Doughty! It takes a special kind of superstar defenseman to have more suspensions then points in the playoffs!

Really though what a a series by Fluery and the Knights. It'll be interesting to see their speed match up with Sjs (most likely) next series, VGK won the season series 3-1 with lots of close games

 

[voxel]

Congrats VGK! Loving it. Tell the haters to suck it.

I want to sport a Knight avatar? Any links to those lowered expectation GIFs?

lol, it's just some playful teasing. trust me, my team has a rich history of embarrassment.

 

[AaronDellForPrez]

Whether the I-15 actually enters the city of limits of LA or not is not the point...

Should I just let it go?

I-15 goes from Vegas to Riverside where it then picks up a superfluous and goofy sounding "the" in front of its name.

Nobody was picking the Kings to win the cup, and they only reason they were picking them over Vegas was playoff experience.
Talk about trying to make a story where there isn't any.
